    Symbolism means a lot in Chinese culture.

    Cool commericial, but I think this one is the strangest bball commercial ever made.

    Can anyone explain or guess the symbolism here? Is it that even nature can't stop the players?

    And I think Scola and crew were playing the Nets cause that was some horrendous defense.

    Saw this about a week ago, instantly reminded me of the TMac commercial where there were little men trying to shoot him down and such.

    The Chinese tagline at the end of this commercial translates to "Everything is possible", which is pretty much a ripoff of Adidas.

    i actually think that one is pretty good... it highlights chuck's strong point: his rebounding.

    it will be a lot worse if its chuck dunking the ball.

    they didn't show the end... could have settled for a layup like always.

    I think it's something like they're a force of nature.. Like those plants turn into flowers, but then have even more thorns growing through the middle of them. Like their game is beautiful and deadly.. I'll shut up now :grin:

    Silly commercial making people, The Ice cream man doesn't dunk. He would simply pivot until he got a clear look at his right handed scoop shot. :cool:
