Semi-OT: Kobe + Pacquiao in new Nike ad

A huge advertisement featuring boxing’s No. 1 fighter Manny Pacquiao and basketball’s premier player Kobe Bryant is in the cusp of completion as the two sporting heroes pose alongside each other on July 8 for sports apparel leader Nike.

The shoot will be held in Los Angeles, according to Pacquiao’s lawyer Franklin Gacal, who disclosed that streamers and posters of Pacquiao and Bryant will be displayed in all Nike stores across the US.


Just saying. In our country, Pacquiao obviously is the biggest sports personality... And Kobe Bryant is the most famous international star because mainly he plays for the Lakers, the country most loved (and hated team)

i am just excited for Pacquiao because he is starting to be really famous in the United States and doing an ad alongside one of the league's most popular stars will only bring him more to the consciousness of non-boxing fans. (Anyway, just to add Pacquiao is a big, big NBA/basketball fan; he is known to root for the Spurs and Celtics during the past years. Don't worry, he is just really a fan of the game that's why is is very fair-weathered :D)
If there is no basketball in heaven, i am not going.

I hope in the background there's a picture of Lebron James crying saying "We are all witnesses"
