LeBron James Nike Commercial - Swimming Pool. Advertisement aired at the beginning of the 06-07 NBA season. The song is "Summer Madness" by Kool & The Gang.
@MUFC bro noone in these comments section is getting paid playing professional basketball or football, who really cares which one is bigger or better lol
@@baselineleaner1064 TikTok didn't ruin shit. No one younger than 30 knew who Kool and the Gang were. 😂 I'm 34 so I been knowing them but I think it's nice seeing it introduced to a new generation.
Well, the Father-son conversation is archetypical of black communities. You know that uncle that always has an idea of how things SHOULD BE ? That's old man bron
Time goes by SO fast. LEBRON was around 21 when this came out. It seems like it was a couple years ago. He’s now 38 and almost done. Enjoy your life guys
@@themanspeakingtruthhe was this big at 18 😂 sports illustrated had him on the cover at 16 calling “The Chosen One” 🎉 dudes been to 12 Finals in this era I don’t that will ever happen again. In this era teams change too quick if you have even 2 good players you have to pay them the supermax then it hurts the talent around them its so dumb this era its gonna be impossible for one person to get to 12 finals ever again
@@jusbertmeza4424 We also had enough time to learn what we should and should not do with talented people so young, even if it had to be through cases as tragic as Mike Tyson and Amanda Bynes.
how is it the "perfect commercial"? It says nothing about the product... has humor which is based on nuance, at best (I'm still trying to figure out what the "joke" is)... and it only appeals to you if you're a fan of the paid celebrity. That is NOT the description of a "perfect commercial" in the slightest. Not to mention, I know the black man in the clip is a famous football player, so it was probably very EXPENSIVE for them to make this, compared to other commercials which can potentially do a far better job at showing why the "shoe brand" is a justifiable purchase when compared to other competitor's shoes (again, this will only "sell shoes" for people who 1) know who the football player is already, and 2) are a FAN of that football player). Not a DAMN thing was said about the actual shoe, such as claiming it is more comfortable than others, or that the shoe is designed well (will therefore last forever, etc), or that it is tough and can protect you from accidentally stepping on something sharp... literally NOTHING performance-related is in here.. In order to call this a "perfect commercial", one would have to be absolutely moronic.
It's just... every single shot is perfect, Lebron plays every role so spot-on, the music works as if it was written specifically for this... IDK. I love this ad so much I can't even put it into words.
@@em.5941 no one does anything different its all repetitive they all do the same thing. People on Yiktok ruin the most chill things and make it memes or ruin the song by dissing it or just using the slow moving filter. Don't come at me saying that I'm cringy when you probably do the same goddamn thing
@@Balal8281 I mean he was playing with a bunch of role players his first stint so him even having them in contention was a miracle. He almost beat them with Ben.
@@earlem9771 Youngster? Lmao! I'm probably older than you. And I still say this is the greatest. Those penny commercials were good... but he barely had anything to do with them. It was more centered around Chris Rock's voice. Same goes for the Jordan commercials. Those were just excellent music and editing. Bron was actually the focal point here. Dude actually acted in these commercials and brought the characters to life.
Lebron made himself unlikable by saying dumb shit to the media over the years, and quitting on multiple teams that he put together once things started to get rough for his legacy.
Classic lines from this commercial: "Stop lookin' at my lemonade!" "Oh Lord." "Don't make me get out this seat." "He won't get in the water. He don't wanna get his hair wet, pretty boy."
This commercial is timeless gold. I don’t even think this will age a bit because it’s going to stand the test of time. The baller Lebron himself, the Nike brand, the music, his shoes. Just gold right here.
@@codyjaramillo8065 but they weren’t as good as this no where close I remember seeing his commercials and be like bruh what is this 5 dollar budget shit and i will never buy that product based off how shit thisn commercial is 😂
the music , the summer scenery , LeBron focused while his multiple personalities talking to him .i cant put into words how perfect this commercial is but they should replay this every time he gets a ring
Boy oh boy where do I even begin. Lebron... honey, my pookie bear. I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. The way you drive into the paint and strike fear into your enemies eyes. Your silky smooth touch around the rim, and that gorgeous jumpshot. I would do anything for you. I wish it were possible to freeze time so I would never have to watch you retire. You had a rough childhood, but you never gave up hope. You are even amazing off the court, you're a great husband and father, sometimes I even call you dad. I forvever dread and weep, thinking of the day you will one day retire. I would sacrifice my own life it were the only thing that could put a smile on your beautiful face. You have given me so much joy, and heartbreak over the years. I remember when you first left clevenland and its like my heart got broken into a million pieces. But a tear still fell from my right eye when I watched you win your first ring in miami, because deep down, my glorious king deserved it. I just wanted you to return home. Then allas, you did, my sweet baby boy came home and I rejoiced. 2015 was a hard year for us baby, but in 2016 you made history happen. You came back from 3-1 and I couldn't believe it. I was crying, bawling even, and I heard my glorious king exclaim these words, "CLEVELAND, THIS IS FOR YOU!" Not only have you changed the game of basketball and the world forever, but you've eternally changed my world. And now you're getting older, but still the goat, my goat. I love you pookie bear, my glorious king, Lebron James.
@Manjot SIngh shit I'm 26 at the moment and LeBron won a ring with the Lakers lol I can't complain tho I think everybody struggled in some form of fashion in 2020 but I'm still here
this is the best commercial I have ever seen from beginning to end. Lebron is actually a pretty good actor. I love how at the end of the commercial he still has the sunglasses on and is smiling while under water
Actually shed a tear. Me and my homeboys and our homegirl all copped the 4s because of this commercial. Went to school the next day and showed our natural asses 😂 man the memories! Miss them like hell!
I find now that LeBron is an older player and nearing retirement, I look back on these days at his early growth and start to appreciate him more as a player and an individual. Crazy how I'm actually starting to miss LeBron now even though he's still playing. Around this time Kobe, A.I., K.G., T-Mac, Tim Duncan, Carmelo Anthony, D-Wade, V.C. and a few others were just coming into the league or coming into their own as players. That early 2000's squad was special. Now it's just Bron left; Vince Carter is about to retire. Appreciate him while he's still here.
I feel the same. There’s a lot of good young players who could be the face of the league, but there isn’t going to be another LeBron. The NBA’s gonna miss him
Over 10 years old now -- I was in high school & now I'm 26. Damn I could be getting old. Its summertime, "Summer Madness." Still one of the greatest commercials right here. & LBJ is still handling his business
Gawd where these days go. I remember these and the puppet commercials with kobe. I remember thinking lebrons beard was to grey, now man's has real greys!! Seriously where the years go?
I’m desperately searching for a playlist of videos and tracks with this vibe. Early 2000s, insanely good music and summer vibes. So far I’ve found Days Go By - Dirty Vegas, Lady (Hear Me Tonight) - Modjo, and this. Does anyone know any more?
Bruh I didn’t know the “oh lord” that I hear every where was Lebron from this commercial 😂😂. Why is this my first time seeing this shit and I’m literally a 90’s baby 😂😂😂

It’s because he did a comedic role and didn’t act like Lebron look at his acting in train wreck

With the "oh lord!" meme being born recently, I forgot how awesome this commercial is.
Actually he did get through Detroit, with one of the best performances of his career. What a show that was.
He did but luckily for him they didn't have Ben Wallace anymore. Regardless the Pistons were still highly favored that series
Seems like yesterday.

It was it genuinely. Everything was real in somewhat way
It was the perfect blend of technology and real life.
90’s/2010
It was because there was no social media, you’d have to catch this commercial on tv if you were lucky
That Summer Madness by Kool and The Gang will always be timeless. So many other songs over the years have used that sample and it still slaps 🔥 🔥

Space jam had a serious role he don’t do good In those
I like to revisit this ad at the start of every season. Still can’t believe LeBron has spent more of his life in the NBA then not. The King.
