Hey fam just got word that a NEW LeBron and Kobe Nike Commercial is to preview tonight during the draft. This is to kick off the Nike Epic Campaign which will feature Dirk Nowitzki. I just heard the audio and its is simply just as the campaign says, freakin' EPIC.

The Commercial seems to set up LeBron's "What should I do.." segment as if he is asking Kobe for some advice. Then bam a fat 808 kick and snares audio crashes in like a lost track from DJ Premier. The Mamba's voice emerges from murks and Kobe's voice can be heard telling LeBron what must be done in order to make it to the realm of champions. The commercial ends with an Kobe saying "You must be ready to take the last shot...." and the 808 machine kicks in big drum roll and I imagine a fade to black...

Epic.

Okay I was corrected by a friend of mine just seconds ago that this is a viral video. Not sponsored by Nike. Looks real good but unfortunately not legit. Sorry about that. Whoever put this together needs to be hired on at Nike.

meh.

Niiiiiice ....

He had a Prime Wade and Bosh and still couldn't do it...even though Prime Shaq would terrorize the league don't expect LeBron to be much help in the finals

Kobe couldn't do it the first year with Gasol either. Got to the Finals and lost, just like Lebron. I think anyone who understands basketball realizes LeBron is going to get rings.

Rather meh compared to the Jordan one...

Umm pretty sure Kobe didn't have a whole training camp or full season to practice with Pau, and Bynum was out....don't remember him having 2 Team USA players along his side.

As far as Lebron having a prime Shaq and winning a title....how? 2 of the worst fourth quarter superstars in history...who exactly would close out the games for a championship? Shaq at the free throw line? Or Lebron passing up clutch shots to Rick Fox? I don't get it.

LeBron can't close out games now? You're basing this off one Finals series?

Don't worry, your Lebron still has time. But your take is whack. Had the Heat won, history would have been revised, and the Heat's supporting class would have gotten a few pat on the backs. Exactly like what you're doing now. But they didn't win, so your perception is Kobe had more support. In reality, the media said the same things about the 2000 Lakers, that they were not deep. You got has beens like Ron Harper and Brian Shaw playing vital roles. Mark Cuban called them "Kobe & Shaq and the merry men of minimum." Shaq and Kobe were two of the top 5 of their time just like Wade and Lebron. But Shaq and Kobe never had a 3rd wheel like Bosh. So don't give me that Lakers were deeper crap. You saw for your own eyes what Lebron was doing in the last 5 minutes of some of the most important games of his life, which was NOTHING. His favorite move was to pass to Chalmers with 8 seconds left on the clock and start back-tracking the other way. If it was a 26 yrs old Kobe who had teamed up with Wade and Bosh, Dallas would be toast.

Don't make up excuses for your Lebron. He royally screwed up. It has nothing to do with having a prime Shaq. He had a prime Wade and Bosh. I mean what does it take for Lebron to win the NBA title? All-Stars at every position? Admit that your man choked and move on. He's still young, so you still have time. But don't give me this Kobe had a deeper team crap. The Heat is one of the best teams ever assembled. I don't ever recall a time in this league where 2 of the top 3 teamed up, then also get another top 15 as their 3rd wheel.

LeBron fans are so "LOLz".

Cosigning this post.

I bewilders me that there are folks over in the comments section of Youtube who actually believe that Kobe would stoop to taking shots at LOLbron through an ad. The Bryant segment was taken from here:

Seriously people, use your head, it's that thing three feet above your a**.

Um pretty sure D-wade was out for the preseason

lol no! I'm basing this off of this Finals performance, his 2007 Finals performance against the Spurs, his 2009 Eastern Conference Finals performance against the Magic, and his 2008 and 2010 Conference Semi-Finals performances against the Celtics.

I just love it how LBJ nut huggers continue to make excuses for the guy, although I can't say I'm surprised given how all James has done throughout his career is make excuses.

Not to take anything away from Dallas, but aside from Dirk and a 5'9" combo guard who happened to play out of his mind, Miami lost to Jason Terry, Shawn Marion and Jason Kidd who are all on the wrong side of 30. The Lakers lost to a VASTLY superior Celtics team in '08 and it isn't even close.

I think anyone who understands basketball realizes that LeBron isn't going to be winning anything unless he stops behaving like a childish little b****.
