The LeBrons

i thought they were kinda funny at first, but after seeing it for the 28792378923792873rd time it does wear out a bit...

Talking about seeing a commercial for the 28792378923792873rd time, if I hear that damn 'this is my country' song again I swear I'm going to toss my TV across the room.

yeah, i didnt realize our country only consisted of blue collar workers, farms, and a flooded new orleans

I don't understand marketing campaigns any more. Are the Lebrons supposed to make me want to buy Nikes? I mean at least the old Jordan commercials we're like "It has to be the shoes". You know, they sorta hyped the shoe. Now these campaigns are just odd. They basically have nothing to do with the shoe. Weird concept.

He're's that meeting.
"Let's spend millions to hire a guy to promote our shoe except he wont really promtote it as much as just make overly produced commercials that have nothing to do with the shoe. That will surely make people buy our shoe. That is if they are smart enough to understand that by being in a Nike commercial (one not really about the shoes) we are implying that the shoe is good (without ever having even remotely inferred that) because Lebron is good and now my head will explode."

why do so many on this board hate lebron? do you have the same hatred for Jordan? its pretty much the same marketing blitz. and don't tell me its because Jordan won so much because it took Jordan 7 seasons until he won something. i actually like lebron, thinking he is a breath of fresh air among all the thugs in the NBA

guess started that... jeans, cars, OS/2... those are the first commercials i remember that didn't bother mentioning what they were trying to sell.

maybe they live in washington and have been on the wrong end of about 4,000 non-calls for travelling.

I liked the old ones where they danced to super freak. The new ones are just weird.

why do we hate lebron? because the refs in this league treat him like hes been there for 15 years and is a hall of famer. the traveling he gets away with, the push offs, and when he doesnt get his call, he crys like a little bitch. that and the fact that every news source thinks hes a god

I like the commercials, mainly due to the fact that LeBron does a decent job representing the four characters. Considering he's just a 20 year old athlete, he's a pretty good actor. I don't watch a ton of tv so I'm fortunate not to have to watch it 194232673248249343 times.

I agree with Big C that he does get away with quite a bit but so did Jordan and any other superstar player at the time that made the game exciting to watch.

jordan earned his respect, lebron is 21 years old and hasnt proven anything
