Mamba vs. Pooh

In this commercial for NBA 2K10, Derrick Rose receives an epic smack talk smack down from Kobe “My guy’s awesome because he has four rings” Bryant. Rose might not, by his own admission, be able to get out of the second round, but he already has Larry Bird-like acting skills.

“The Inner Workings of a Creator”

Category: commercials — Tags: , , – Matt McHale @ 1:23 pm

A three-way collaboration between Adidas, FreeDarko and Chali 2na from Jurassic 5 spawned the following commercial, which mimics the style FD’s book The Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac. It features Chicago’s own Derrick Rose, and it’s a fun little video. Just keep in mind that it’s less a bonus chapter to the MPBA and more of a commercial for Adidas products. (I had no idea that Adidas was such a key component of Derrick’s magic sauce…)
