New LeBron commercial by Nike: "Rise"

[Lakers13]

He was 19 and she was 13....nevermind.

The grass was too green on that field son

[oh the horror]

Lebron's campaign against his critics is only fueling them.

I have a feeling this would all be over if Lebron just ignored it and played ball.

Ding ding ding. We have a winner.



I know what the commercial was for, but he isnt a politician. Why is this commercial being made? This is like a politcal campaign commercial for him running for office or something. Its simply not needed.



Lebron runs a cycle of yin/yang with his haters. He keeps going, and it adds more fuel, then they keep going, which adds more fuel to him to keep mentioning them, then they mention him, and vice versa.



Well made commercial sure, but now people have to watch a commercial not even really advertising anything in particular, other than for him to address the masses?

[oh the horror]

Commercial well done. Pretty much echoes my thoughts...Why do so many people get on Lebron for doing what he wants to do ? Let the man live and stop criticizing his every move.

HE puts himself out there like that. Doesnt anyone see that?

[Lakers13]

Its his Inagural Haters Address

[oh the horror]

Its his Inagural Haters Address

I thought it was a sneaker commercial at first, but then......it wasnt....It was just him saying his piece or something.

And the haters bite. If you don't hate him its really not a big deal.

I like to watch him on the basketball court. I don't agree with the way he handles things off the court.

At the end of the day he's his own man and he can do what he wants. People are walking around with hate and fury in their hearts because he does things differently than they would have. It's pathetic really...

He should have just tweeted that he doesn't care what people think of him

[KOLBCTEW]

That was a surprisingly GREAt commercial.

Not everybody is into twitter. This gets the message out there pretty well..

The only thing I didn't like about it was the fact that he took a shot at Chuck. I'm not trying to hear him taking shots at LeBron all season long on Inside the NBA or when announcing. It's not like Chuck has anything to lose so what's stopping him from commenting on it.

[jbot]

when it's all said and done, he's still an asshole. a talented asshole though.

So basically Nike, sees the opportunity to market "the villian" aspect.


Its just funny, because Barkley almost embraced it, while Lebron seems bothered and bewildered by it at times.

Chuck can't say shit to lebron especially how his career went.. TNT crew will be making fun of him the whole time his comments will become stupid over time. I can see them photoshopping him in Sixers or Houston jersey already

Awesome commercial probably the best Nike has done in a long time (and much better than the "Tiger" spin job, lol).

The Miami Vice/Don Johnson part was the funniest bit.
