was it the ones for the og air jordan's with mars blackmon? or maybe it was the 'bo knows' commercials. or how bout the tiger woods dribbling of the golf ball one. or possibly even more recently, the dribbling nike basketball ones. although these were all great commercials, my favorite was much better than all of those...
man they just don't make commercials like they used to.
and then i found out that mcdonald's is remaking it!! read the article here. yes, that's right. they're putting wade and lebron in the spot bird and jordan are. i for one, am excited for it. both the superstars have had decent success in their acting career, so why not give em a shot into commercial superstardom?
- lebron with the nike commercials of 'the lebrons' doing a poor man's version of nutty professor(yet it's still surprisingly entertaining).
- wade with his awesome acting for t-mobile with sir charles and the oh-so-heart-warming tv spot for who knows what when he gives a hundred basketballs and a hoop to an intercity youth team and rides away on a bike.
" The idea is to contemporize 'Nothin' but Net' to 2007 and make it relevant for the two best players in the NBA today"
if they said, "the two most exciting players", or "the future of the nba", or even "the new magic/bird of the nba" i might not have any problem. but it becomes kinda funny to me that they say this comment when neither player is considered for mvp, and whether you hate him or love him, you gotta admit that kobe bryant is the best player in the game right now.
on a side note, did anybody watch that game on sunday night? one of the best i've seen this season. and watching kobe shoot his ridiculous fadeaways is a work of art. almost as pretty as ben wallace rebounding.
ANYWAYS, in this commercial, it won't be totally cool to see new dynamic duo of the nba draining shots from outside the gym, making hookshots from the cheap seats and who knows what else mcdonald's comes up for them, when in reality, these guys have an AT BEST decent jumper. we all know that larry bird had one of the most automatic shots EVER....and at that time his airness emerged as one of the most dominant players EVER. so while the point of the original commercial was cute and made some sense since both players were just ridiculous, this won't really make sense and/or "relevant" as they said to people who know how these guys really play the game(except from a marketing and advertising standpoint). well with the players they're using.
so why not just use the two players who have been argued about for the past two years of who is the greatest in the game right now? i guess mcdonald's doesn't like canadians and accused rapists. haha
break raja bell's ankles, drive by boris diaw, rise over the mvp, nothin but net
lookalike of the day!

On a side note, my favorite sports commercial has to be the "Chicks dig the long ball" commercials. Classic.
