LeBron/Kobe Puppet Commercial

Because KG isn't Lebron and ESPN would rather Lebron get credit for the talcum powder.

 

These commercials are really lame. And I'm a big Lebron/Kobe fan, so this isn't jealousy or hating or anything like that. They just could have done much more with the whole concept.

I don't think I'm expecting too much either. The bar is pretty high - it's not like NIKE hasn't pulled off sheer marketing brilliance before...

The LBJ talcum powder ad was ok, the Kobe 3 rings wasn't funny at all, but I really liked this one.

I do agree Nike is falling short of what they're usually capable of.

 

i used to scream and yell when they hit that nbc intro in the rockets glory years

and ya i remember lil penny well

 

New one right here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rP_N9GFUgeI&fmt=18

 

Lil Penny was awesome!!!

 

OK, this last one was kinda funny.

Lebron: "turn number 23 around, triple double...all the time! all the time!"

I lol'd at the phone call part, too.

Yeah, but you are a GIRL...it does not really count until a guy posts it. I am sure it is in the rule book somewhere ;-)

 

They could have made the chalk one more funnier by making Kobe wear an oxygen mask because of the all the chalk. lol

 

I love these commercials. I think some of them are the funniest commercials on tv. The Lil Desmond one had me rolling. It was like Urkel meets Kobe and Lebron.

 

I think that was the best one for Nike. But I don't understand why they made Kobe look like that. His voice and face is so different.

 

These puppet commercials are hilarious, better than the Lil Penny commercials IMO. Tell me which is funnier, the Lebron talc spot or this lil Penny commercial.

Just watching that intro made my eyes rain. The games just are not what they used to be. Jordan, Dream, Barkley, young Shaq....I could go on and on. The players of today are just as good (or close) but thanks to the officiating I just don't think they are challenged enough. Dribble, dribble *whistle* - go to the foul line. Repeat.

I agree, Lil Penny was awesome.
