    For Yao, it has to be the one with mini-me and the Apple computer. Question, If Yao is an endorser for Rebok, why is there no commercial with him in one like other athlete?

    For T-Mac, Its the Adidas one where he said about "coming to work hard every night and showing the kids how its done". I think that was directed toward Lebron and Carmelo.

    Yeah the TMAC one was good where he was saying everyone says that players should stay in school and get an education.....then he says...like school is in session everday while showing off his moves...really cool.

    With Yao i have to go with the YO YAO one which was funny....

    The new gatorade one where he is finishing up his game with JIMMY where he is trying to fix the goal he broke is cool too.

    yeah that was the irony. He was basically speaking to all the people that say they shouldn't come out early and they should go to school.

    then he says to the audience " DON't worry school is always in session" meaning he and others will teach them.

    I like the Yao Visa "Yo, Yao" commercial, but my favorite is the Gatorade where he breaks the kids goal.

    With T-Mac I can't remember any other commercials other than the one mentioned above. Nice beat by the Neptunes BTW.
    However,
    I do like that new Adidas Garnett commercial with everyone jumping on his back.

    Now what's really ironic is that he said that and later the Cavs and Magic played a game last season where Lebron was the one doing the schooling.

    if that is the xmas game where lebron made some ridiculous shots and tracy kept going back i think tracy won that battle because if i remember right the magic won in overtime and tracy dropped near 40.

    No, the game I'm talking about was sometime in early March, it did go to overtime but James was the one who played the best in OT in a Cavs win.

    Ah yes...I believe I remember it quite clearly.

    The first game, when T-Mac dropped like 38 on them Christmas day and the Magic won..

    or....

    Oh wait, and then it was the other game they faced off where he dropped like 8 threes in the first half before tweaking his ankle and had to leave the game.

    Yeah - Lebron schooled him alright. :rolleyes:

    But I believe you are talking about this game:

    ORLANDO, Florida (Ticker) -- Tracy McGrady made sure the game
    got to overtime. Once there, LeBron James took over.

    James scored six straight points in the extra session as the
    Cleveland Cavaliers recovered from squandering a big lead to
    post a 112-107 victory over the Orlando Magic.

    McGrady, the NBA's leading scorer, netted 15 of his 35 points in
    the fourth quarter as the Magic rallied from an 18-point
    deficit. He sank three free throws with 9.3 seconds left in
    regulation, sending the game to overtime.

    McGrady's only points of overtime were a 3-pointer that gave the
    Magic a 105-103 lead with 2:22 left. But James, the rookie
    sensation, scored in the lane 18 seconds later, then hit two
    free throws and a layup to give Cleveland a 109-105 lead with 61
    seconds remaining.

    "Z (Ilgauskas) took over in the second half and I took over in
    overtime. That's what our team is about," James said.

    "He's incredible, really," said McGrady, who like James also
    entered the NBA out of high school. "The poise that he shows on
    the basketball court, nothing rattles him at all. He's got
    extremely high confidence and he's a real competitor. At the
    age of 19, that's scary."

    James collected 30 points and 11 rebounds and Zydrunas Ilgauskas
    scored 28 points for the Cavaliers, who won for the fourth time
    in five games.

    "For the most part, we had the game," James said. "Then it got
    away from us at the end. They came back and were able to
    withstand the heat and make a run in overtime."

    James went 11-of-19 from the field while McGrady was just
    11-of-32, including 3-of-12 from 3-point range.

    "Me and T-Mac are real good friends," James said. "Every time we
    come out, it's a friendly rivalry. He makes big shots for his
    team, I make big shots for my team."

    "I think the two of them inspire one and other and bring out the
    best in one another," Magic coach Johnny Davis said.

    Coming off Wednesday's 94-91 home overtime loss to Portland,
    Orlando made just 1-of-9 shots in the extra session.

    Ilgauskas was at his best in the third quarter, when he scored
    16 points to help the Cavaliers open an 80-66 lead. He went
    4-of-5 from the field and made all eight of his free throws in
    the period.

    A 3-pointer by Jason Kapono pushed the lead to 90-72 with 8:43
    remaining. But the Magic used a 21-6 run, capped by McGrady's
    3-pointer that cut the deficit to 96-93 with 3:02 to go.

    Carlos Boozer added 17 points and 16 rebounds and Jeff McInnis
    16 and 10 assists for Cleveland, which pulled within 1 1/2 games
    of Miami and Toronto for the Eastern Conference's final playoff
    berth.

    "It would have been a devastating loss, had we lost," Cleveland
    coach Paul Silas said. "We didn't, so we go on."

    James, who scored just 11 points in Wednesday's loss at Houston,
    had 12 in the first quarter on 6-of-8 shooting to help
    Cleveland open a 30-25 lead. He had 19 points by halftime as
    the lead grew to 53-44.

    Juwan Howard and Drew Gooden each added 14 points for Orlando,
    which stayed in the game by forcing 21 turnovers.

    Well you know what, Juwan Howard took over too at some point with his 14 points. And I think Tyonne Lue and Drew Gooden scored at least like 13 or something... so HA!
