Old School Jordan Ads

Yay for commercials. I put this in the game thread for the Pistons game, and I got the link from TrueHoop, but everyone should take a look at:

They've got a list of the best basketball ads. Michael Jordan, as you can imagine, is ubiquitous.

And number one gives me goosebumps every time I watch it.

Enjoy.

Did I mention this in the other thread?

I don't think I ever saw that XXI commercial. Pretty sweet. Due to the quality, are those supposed to be Jordan at a younger age? Or his sons? Or just random kids doing Jordan's thing? I couldn't quite tell.

Thanks again.

Random Kids...

...me thinks. Although one of them might be the son of his airness.

im trying hard to become the next kirk hinrich, therefore im doing nothing more than being the next chris duhon.

Yep, random

They held auditions for kids who could replicate some of his most memorable moves.

Such a great commercial.

Wow...

has to be some mad CGI, too. The free throw line dunk, then the jump and fist pump, then the Bryon Russell crossover-pushoff... Those ones are eerily realistic. That's obviously why they chose them and put them at the crescendoing of the music...

But yeah, that's where I'm like, "Wow........."
