The LeBrons

MTK · 11-07-2006, 09:58 AM

Am I the only one that scratches their head in wonder at these commercials?

I feel like the people that came up with these ideas were either really high or just nuts.

Especially the one with the dude jumping off the diving board, I'm always just like HUH?

Big C · 11-07-2006, 10:01 AM

i just dont wnat to see 1 lebron, let alone multiple ones. i hate the guy

Yeah, it doesn't make a DAMN bit of sense. Kind of reminds me of the people who created that show Wonder Showzen.

Daseal · 11-07-2006, 10:14 AM

Honestly, I like em. They're a bit odd, but I like them.

Don't be mad Big C. LeBron will be remembered as the best of all time. He's a bit media hyped, and gets far too many calls. But still very young and very amazing.

hooskins · 11-07-2006, 10:20 AM

I hate them bc they dont make sense. My hatred for LeBron even makes it worst.

Wrong, Jordon will be the best of all time. LeBron still isn't clutch, he won't win as many rings, he can't play D, and his outside shot won't be as good. He will be better at driving, that is it.

It is pretty funny that they all bitch about getting fouled in the one commerical though. It's very true to life. But, they should travel more.

time will tell...

That Guy · 11-07-2006, 10:27 AM

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

MTK · 11-07-2006, 10:30 AM

I knew someone would say they liked them. Figures it's Daseal.

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.

Big C · 11-07-2006, 10:37 AM

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

FRPLG · 11-07-2006, 10:48 AM

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."

dmek25 · 11-07-2006, 11:04 AM

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

That Guy · 11-07-2006, 11:05 AM

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.
