Deng-centric print ad from Nike's London 2012 campaign.

""Luol shoots a thousand hoops a day," says a line of copy in the ad. "Now he's counting down until he comes home to compete in four years' time. I'll be ready.""

Interesting line in the article ..

“It is not a case of using athletes who have success already but ones with potential next time”

Potential got Deng 71 to 80 million with Bulls, and probably a Nike extention?

I don't get the ad.

“One ad features Brixtonian NBA basketballer Luol Deng…who appears to be about to slam dunk a ball into a piece of machinery.”

“Luol shoots a thousand hoops a day,” says a line of copy in the ad.

WHAT?

Actually, the things at the end of the poles are Bulls' heads, with antenna-like horns.

It all makes so much more sense now.

…Ok, not really.

I'm starting to see why Brits are not a traditional basketball powerhouse

When does the Ben Gordon poster come out?

“Ben Gordon shoots a lot. But, he is short and dribbles the ball off his foot. Ergo, he sucks and is a megalomaniac.”

"I’m gonna rise up, gonna kick a little ass. Gonna kick some ass in the USA. Gonna climb a mountain, gonna sew a flag, gonna fly on an eagle. I’m gonna kick some butt, gonna drive a big truck. I’m gonna rule this world. I’m gonna kick some ass. I’m gonna rise up, gonna kick a little ass. Rock, flag, and eagle!"
