    It seemed like everytime NBC went to break, there was some kind of Kobe Bryant commercial. It became very annoying to listen to Kobe read his little poem and speak his Italian over and over again.

    I also think the Kobe commercial where he whips some Italian scrubs at B-Ball is stupid.

    Then there's Kobe joining the little league basketball team.

    I will admit, I LOVE Kobe, but I can't STAND those commercials anymore. I'm not really down for Dr. Kobe telling me "What's rare nowadays."

    In the Italian commercial, I like how rejects a shot that is an airball and already a foot below the rim.

    Kobe in that Mcdonald commercial should just play ronald mcdonald, just paint his hair red and put him some big ass red shoes and there you go.

    Yeah, i love the way the media tries to make these guys geniuses. Who really thinks Kobe keeps a journal where he pontificates creativity? Please...just because he is athletic and can change direction in mid-air does not mean he is creative.

    HOOP-T...you are right about the Italian one as well.

    PSJ,

    The best part in that one, though, is the big guy, "You guys hangin out...I'll hang out!" [​IMG]

    I really hate the one where he is driving on his motorcycle to the arena, whipping past all the other cars real fast. Are they trying to tell us that Kobe is exempt from traffic laws? [​IMG]

    I'm also getting really tired of those commerials. I remember one break last night where all they played was Kobe commercials.

    No the best commercial of all is the new "How are you doing" commercial where the guy is practicing saying it in the mirror and then goes out and makes a total fool of himself.

    Agreed. That is more a plug to show how "educated" Kobe is, since he speaks Italian. So what, he grew up there.

    I don't mind the kid commercial, but the 'italian' and 'thinking' commericials are just stupid. Please.

    The best commercial is the one where the guy pops the beer open and his friends show up at the door. Too funny

    Acutally, it was "What are you doing"

    I do like the Mickey D's commercial with Kobe since...well, McDonalds is our client! So, I like.

    But the best commercial out there is the Nike commercials with all the dribbling while all the basketball sounds create a "Planet Rock" beat in the background. I love those. I think Nike still makes some of the most creative commercials on television.

    Then every other commercial is one with shaq.

    I have seen much of the rest of the web. It is brutal and cruel and dark. CC.net is the light.
