I don't normally make many posts but I just wanted to say that I believe Glacéau has David Stern on their marketing payroll. The whole Kobe-Lebron commercial came out not too long ago. No matter what team challanges either of those teams, they will lose. It doesn't matter if the Nuggets (who most analysts are saying are playing so incredible) or the Mavs make it to the Conf. finals. The Lakers will take the cake. I have a prediction that they will allow the Rockets to win the next game at home just to keep it interesting and give us fans some hope. But in the end, they will screw us over and Lakers will continue. Also, the Rockets losing Yao was probably an answered prayer for Stern. Now, if (let me restate that, "when") the Lakers win, it won't look so suspicious. Also, as good as the Cavs are playing, I bet the league has rigged it in a way so they'll struggle a little against their next opponent. Just to build up more excitement to the Vitamin Water sponsered main event. In the end, it doesn't matter who wins the 2009 NBA Championship, the biggest winner of them all is Glacéau's product/marketing and the biggest losers will be the fans. I'm sick of the NBA! P.S Be sure your kids drink Vitamin Water, they'll be able to dunk just like KB/LBJ.
This whole "The NBA is conspiring to get the Lakers and Cavs in the Finals" is just silly. If and when they get to the Finals, it will be because they're by far the two best teams in the league. Not because of a league conspiracy.
Dont you think the timing of the ads are odd? The NBA wants this to happen, and they are already marketing the finals.
That's an interesting theory. I don't know if its true but it does make you think! On the other hand I called the Lakers-Cavs final at the beginning of the season too. Maybe Vitamin water thought the same thing and decided to take advantage of it.
Kobe and Lebron are the two best and most captivating players in the league. The only other guy really on their level is Dwyane Wade, and maybe a Dwight Howard or Chris Paul. In terms of marketability, they're definitely at the top. Their teams also are the #1 seeds in their respective conferences by a fairly comfortable margin. Signing them up to do a commercial was just a smart decision by Vitamin Water. Their teams are doing the rest.
Of course they want it to happen, and of course they'll market it. But that doesn't mean those teams need the NBA's help to make it to the Finals.
lol. Just picturing that commercial has me cracking up. Mentally replacing Luther with Ryan Bowen almost brought me to tears.
Are you serious? No, really, are you serious? I wish NBA consipracy theorists would take one second to think before they run their mouth. If it happens, is it that hard to believe that the NBA's two teams with the two best records (both this year and last) with the two best individual talents in the league will play each other in the finals? Really? Is that why the NBA 'fixed' the San Antonio Spurs to win four titles? This is really starting to get on my nerves. Stop crying...it's basketball. The NBA hasn't fixed ****. Just stop with the dumbass conspiracy theories already. There are bad officials and calls in every single sport, but somehow the NBA brings out the 'David Stern is evil and is on the marketing payroll for Vitamin Water' nuts. Wow you called the Lakers-Cavs final! They're only the top seeds in each conference having proven through 82 games to be the best teams in the league! I'm sure David Stern also broke Yao's foot and inured KG's knee. Jesus Christ.
Let's see... best two records in the league... best two players in the league... yeah it's a conspiracy.
This has got to be a true conspiracy. You're 100% right that vitamin water paid the NBA to fix Cavs/Lakers. The **** doesn't make sense: The Lakers suck. The Cavs suck. So they should've been eliminated in the first round, but somehow they didn't. That's proof right there.
Ignorance is bliss. The only reason we are even talking about the Lakers is b/c Stern rigged the trade to bring Gasol to the Lakers. Kobe was unable to win without Shaq and guess what happened. Bring in Gasol and put KG on the Celtics and there is a rivalry reborn. Too bad KG got injured otherwise it would have been a different Eastern Conference Finals. Does anyone even know the extent of KG's "bulky" knee. I think the NBA just told him to sit his ass since he already has a ring.
Gatorade started it all with those memorable MJ commercials. Drink Gatorade, and you can be like Mike. Vitamin water is just a bunch of cr*p anyway. If you're dumb enough to pay a premium for what's basically sugar water then that's that. Only difference is, when MJ drank Gatorade, you really did feel like drinking Gatorade. When Kobe and LeBron drink Vitamin Water, you think: "drink as much of that ***** you want, mother****ers, I'm not going near your stuff". Maybe that's just me.
The playoffs are rigged because Glacéau was smart enough to figure out the Lakers and Cavs would probably meet in the Finals? So they pay a chunk to LeBron and Kobe for a commercial people are talking about. Every other NBA advertiser is wishing they had thought of it first. The idea guy at Glacéau deserves a raise.
They're not conspiring, but they are hoping and praying and making all kinds of satanic sacrifices for it to happen.
