I don't think many people have seen this, but if this is old or a lot of ppl have seen it, then you can lock this thread.

Anyways, here's the new commerical:

I like it better than his other "Become Legendary" commercials

Yeah, it's a pretty good commercial.

I think he is a terrible role model. I dislike seeing him on the TV or anywhere.

this is on ESPN every commercial break lol

I really don't like Jordan commercials but this a great commercial I have to say.

How did Jordan ruin the game?

this is one of the best commercials on tv right now
considering how much comcast has slacked as of late

It really does send a message that he worked hard to get to where he is

Finally Jordan said it. I've been thinking this every seen he retired, it appears that a lot of today's players grew up watching Come Fly With Me and believed that all those highlights are supposed to take place every game. The truth is Jordan went through games without dunking once, even in his athletic prime. His games rarely featured pumping reverse layups, and most of his games were from the textbook with nothing unorthodox occuring. This is why we have "superstar" guards shooting only 45% from the floor in their prime.

everyone wants to be flashy and score a lot. it started with him. then he revised his game and people who mocked him in the beginning didn't take note. so now were left with a bunch of kids who can run and jump but who have no fundamentals cuz all they are worried about it fillin it up themselves.

Jordan didn't mean to ruin it but he did. Players watching his highlights believed they should try to emulate those highlights in every game they player. When in fact the Jordan's highlight reels were compiled from a thousand games. Most of Jordan's games featured nothing fancy or flashy. He was a very textbook player.

Awesome commercial.

I wouldn't go that far. 99% of games you watch Michael play he would do 1 or 2 things that would amaze you, that most players could not do.

It wasn't always a dunk, sometimes it was a defensive play, a block, steal, or a mid-air pass, or impossible fade-away. But he would routinely pull off some amazingly high degree of difficulty plays.

We are talking about Michael Jordan not Tim Duncan.

I loved watching MJ play and hating him cause he wasn't on my team, but he needs to go away now. These damn Nike commercials take themselves way to seriously with all this preaching crap. No MJ, none of what you are saying are your own feelings. You're just reading off the tele-prompter and cashing your check.

Also the same reason why I don't like these split screen/faces NBA commercials (i.e. kobe/shaq).

I do think the Nike commercials are too serious but Jordan was damn good. He's a legend and what he says in this commercial is spot on.

I'm getting pretty sick of Jordan nowadays, but that commercial was very nice.

Tim Duncan is the only player in the NBA today who reminds me of Michael Jordan. The only player with the skill level and fundamental polish of Michael Jordan. He also is the most clutch.

Took you long enough to come up with ?

It's a f'n commercial, take it as it is. Don't like it, don't watch it.

Btw, that is a great Fn commercial.

Yeah, I've never heard of anyone before Jordan putting up stats or being flashy

Well he's the GOAT. He could be doing commercials by 2020 and we'd still be listening to his "messages". Love him or hate him.
