Commercially Acclaimed #12 - Nike - Boom!!!!!

TV commercials are a part of our everyday lives as TV viewers. Even though Tivo and DVR have allowed us to "skip through" the commercials, the advertising companies a still trying to peak our interests by coming up with creative commercials. To me, great commercials are an art form and are under appreciated by a society that is always trying to speed through things. Think about it... how many times did you see a great commercial that made you laugh hysterically or want to go out and purchase the advertised product??? And how many times has the best part of the Super Bowl been the commercials during a blow out game??? Whether you want to admit it or not, commercials are cool as shit... and here are some of my favorites.

Todays entry comes from Nike, and its fitting considering the MLB playoffs are about to start. Boom!!! features all time MLB & NFL great Bo Jackson taunting stud Yankee 2nd baseman Robbie Cano, and then digresses into an allstar clip featuring everybody from Lebron & Kobe, Serena Williams, Rapper Rick Ross, Tim Tebow, Nick Saban, and Manny Pacqaio... and a bunch of high school athaletes. Very cool commercial... BOOM!!!

Fuck You Lebron... Fuck You Very Much!!!

So the Lebron James free agent saga is over. And as usual the Knicks are on the short end of the stick. So that means that not only did they not get LBJ, but they let him join Chris Bosh and D-Wade in South Beach to form one of the illest trilogies of all time.

So we went from this:

To This:

So Fuck You Lebron... Fuck You Very Much!!! I'm not mad, I do see the appeal of The Miami Heat. I'm just a bit disappointed, thats all. Good luck to the Three Amigos in South Beach.... except when they play the Knickerbockers!!! 

Today Is The Day... Come On Home Lebron!!!

Today is the day Lebron James will make his decision on where he will be playing basketball for the next 5 or so years. As a die hard Knick fan, I hope he chooses to follow Amar'e Stoudemaire to Madison Square Garden and restore some prominence back to Broadway. I ran this fan made picture a while back, but I hope this comes true. If the Prince of Zamunda could find happiness in NYC, why not King James??? Tune in tonight at 9pm eastern on ESPN for the press conference. Lets go Knicks!!!

One Down, One To Go... Welcome to NYC Amar'e

The NY Knicks have FINALLY started moving in the right direction after agreeing in principle to a 5 year/ 100 million dollar contract with superstar forward Amar'e Stoudemire. Contracts can not officially be signed till Thursday, but the team and the former Sun have promised to make the deal happen. The Knicks have tons of issues to address on the court, and Amar'e definitely is a step in the right direction. He is an explosive post player that can run the floor and most importantly he knows coach Mike D'Antoni's system. And when he goes up... well, jus ask Tim Duncan to my left what happens. He can fly, and he makes posters out of people on the regular. Should be fun to be on the other end of one of those highlights for a change.

On a side note, the Knicks are trying to show Lebron James they are serious about building a contender. By locking up the 27 year old power forward for five years, they are showing Lebron he will have pieces in place when he gets here to make a run for the title. Lebron is taking a few more days to make his decision, but is expected to have decided on which team he will suit up for next year. Lets hope this is something we can look forward to on 34th st. for the better part of the next decade:

If It's All About Winning....

Sports players always talk about it "not being about the money" and how they "want to win the big one because its all about winning". This is often what they say... but Lebron James and Dwayne Wade have a chance to actually put their mouths where the money is. All you want to do is win, huh? How about joining a team that has over 25,000 wins and just 350 or so losses over the last 40+ years? Instead of picking the K nicks, Bulls, or Nets, the Harlem Globetrotters have offered Wade and Bron a incentive laden contract that will pay them boku dollars as well as giving them some percentage in ownership of the team... something that is prohibited in the NBA. So Bron... you want to win, go to Harlem. You want to get money, go to Harlem. Chances are it won't happen, but wouldn't it be great? The Globetrotters are a class organization and do so much to help children and charities all over the world. If a marquee player would defect from the NBA and  join the legendary trick basketball squad it would be groundbreaking. So Lebron and D-Wade... how bad do you want to win?

Is Lebron The Next Prince of Zamunda?

Now that the Celtics have ruined my NBA post season by elminating Lebron James and the Cavs from the playoffs, there is only one question on everyones mind: Is Lebron going to come to New York to become a Knick??? Will he follow in Eddie Murphy's footsteps and come to NYC to fulfill all his princely dreams??? One can only hope... 48 days till the first day of free agent signings!!! Lets Go!

Now thats something I could get used to....

Lebron James: Jesus In A Basketball Jersey and Some Nikes

On Saturday, Lebron James won his second straight MVP award, edging out Dwayne Wade of the Miami Heat and Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Watching him play these first few weeks of the playoffs, I have come to the realization that we might be witnessing (pun intended) Jesus himself gracing the basketball court. Why not? If you ever seen Kevin Smith's epic religious film Dogma, he has a theory that God likes to come down from heaven and take human form to do human things, like play skee ball. Well maybe Jesus was a big basketball fan, and he got tired of watching the humans half ass it... so here he is, number 23 for the Cavs. Rejoice in his splendor!!!

Obviously I am only joking about Bron actually being Jesus... but there is something heavenly about watching him play the game. D Wade, Kobe, Durant... those guys are amazing. So was Jordan, Malone, and Barkley. Magic and Bird were phenomenal... but nobody has the physical presence that LBJ does. And nobody makes it look so easy... nobody. Congrats on your second MVP Bron... now lets get that chip for Cleveland so you can come over to NYC and make the Knickerbockers a contender again!!!
