I had to use that one as the intro to a video on isolation scoring ball hogs many years ago.

if anybody at McDonald’s had any sense, they would remake that one now using Steph and Luka. That commercial was legendary.

Probably the two best basketball commercials of the century. Not that that’s saying much.

I will admit I wanted those shoes and was too poor to get them at the time.

Someone take over. I can’t be the only one who remembers loving some of the old commercials. As a black man of the age to get the grill out the moment I can smell spring in the air I need to go eat these fresh honey gochujang(or whatever) wings

All you MF better…

COME STRONG

OR DONT COME AT ALL

this is the thread of the hard ass commercials.
GO !!!!

Let’s keep this sh!t alive and well, for the foreseeable :pimp:

I feel like I should have taken a pic of the Montreal and Worcestire ribeyes I just did a six side sear on my Weber Summit Gold for lunch today…..

Commercial in the OP is somewhat misleading. To be great within the NBA or at another pro sport you have to have great DNA and great work ethic. Work ethic alone won't make you an all time athlete. But yes, in life, most of the successful people are generated through hard work. That sentiment is true.

[Kblaze8855]

From what little I know that’s from before the summer Olympics one year when the Olympics had a deal that you couldn’t use any Olympic athlete in a commercial that aired during the Olympics unless they were an official sponsor of the Olympics. Like if Reebok was the official shoe of the Olympics or whatever Nike can’t use Olympic athletes in a commercial that airs during the Olympics. Something like that. so they just figured they will go get young Jokic and go the opposite direction. Worked out.

spike Lee really did become famous off basketball commercials. People knew his name a bit as a director, but his face became known from Jordan ads.

[Baller234]

The commercial in the OP could have only ever featured a male as the subject. The narrator implies that the fat kid is "capable" of greatness but that he hasn't technically achieved it yet. That's why he's on his grind.

If they had made this *exact* same commercial, but with a female as the subject, there would be heaps of backlash and accusations of body shaming. Especially if it were a non-white female.

They found 12 year old Joker for a commercial. Nice.

the lebron one where he's in the pool and then his 'grandpa' or whatever come out to ask him if the pistons train like that was good. remember seeing it as a teenager.

The Joga Bonito Commercials by Nike were legendary stuff.

They were based on the premise of legend Cantona calling out diving and dirty fouls, even with some footage examples, and to put skills in the forefront again.

Imagine doing that for the NBA.
