sure, the new nike basketball campaign for lebron james’ new shoe is pretty slick. (enter the temple to see the video segments, and use the controller on the left to go up to see the other challenges.) it’s all sinophile, maybe to capitalize on the retro kill bill rip-off/homage theme, maybe it’s just yao and china taking over. either way, it’s not bad, like a kung-fu basketball version of the animatrix.
but i hate to say it, despite the fact that i’ve gone on the record that tmac is a pussy, i have to say that his new commercial is pretty amazing. (click on the t-mac tv link on the left. although it’s worth catching on tv, so you can watch it bigger than postage stamp-sized.)
maybe it is all about packaging and not content.
does that mean i’ve flip-flopped?
no, he’s still a pussy. a pussy with a good commercial, but a pussy nevertheless.
meanwhile, yuta tabuse became the first japanese player ever to play in an nba game!
