New Nike and Lebron Commercial

Oh yes, on opening day for the NBA what everyone is talking about (besides the Lakers here in Southern California, but the new Nike Commercial.
As if we didn’t talk about Lebron James enough this off season, let’s talk about him again.
[To understand what I will talk about, make sure that you have seen the new commercial first.]
Well, well, well; Lebron has done it again. Sparked up the criticism he will here throughout the year. (Don’t worry though; he’s been taking mental notes on those who took shots at him.)
I’m not taking a shot at Lebron, and I’m not taking a shot at Nike. I’m just trying to figure out if it was the right time for a Lebron commercial.
Yes, let’s start by saying that the commercial is promoting his new shoe. Or is it???
It would be nice if the commercial ACTUALLY SHOWED THE SHOE LONGER THAN A SECOND.
So that’s why I don’t think that the commercial was entirely about his shoe.
Over the summer Lebron pissed off a lot of people. Including an entire city, maybe even state.
“The Decision” maybe could have gone a little bit better. But despite the hour long decision Lebron did what he did and now it is over with.
I think it will all blow over after he wins a championship this year. But Nike is losing a lot of money with people not buy as much Lebron apparel, so they quickly had to help Lebron’s Image.
It’s one thing when Tiger and Nike made a commercial trying to clean up Tiger’s image and get him in the right direction again, but this is a different issue.
Lebron James didn’t do anything wrong. He had the choice to go wherever he wanted. He chose the place that would be successful for him to win a championship. He didn’t do anything morally wrong.
But it’s all about marketing. Lebron’s commercial needed to go out at the beginning of the season because come play-off time, he’ll be the whole focus all over again.
Nike timed their commercial right, but let’s see how many people hate on the commercial and hate Lebron more. Maybe they should just see the sales of his shoes.
By the way, Did anyone catch the Charles Barkley diss in the commercial? Or was it a not a knock on Sir Charles?
In the commercial Lebron says: “I am not a role model… right chuck?”
Barkley had a Nike commercial in the ‘90s saying that he was not a role model, he was a rough on the courts.
Also Barkley took shots towards Lebron for his decision, and the hour long show to make his decision. But again, we know that Lebron is taking mental notes.
With that being said, let the NBA season begin.
