How fun is it to watch this all these years later knowing these guys are playing together. Too bad they weren't playing together when they were both Top 15 players, but what can you do?

I always remembered this commercial.  Funny to watch it again now and realize that in essence, they scowl as their teammates mess everything up, hog the ball to the point where their teammates walk off the court and they're left alone to play one on one  in a game where neither of them can stop the other one using defense.  In retrospect it isn't the most inspiring commercial, but still fun none the less.

Paul and Jermaine have supposedly been very very close friends for many years now, they'll finally get to play together.

Well, that was Pierce's reputation before his 2008 awakening.

And i wonder how much Paul had to do with bringing in Jermaine O'Neal to the Celtics. Looks like Wade's not the only one who knows how to bring talent to his team:)

tp. JO used to be a monster in his Pacers days. The injuries really slowed him down.

Well he idolizes Bill Russell and the two previous SC High School Mr. Basketballs before him are Ray Allen and KG who he both knows.

Looked just like Paul in the 4th quarter of game 7 of the finals--minus all the points.

Good choice--JO on skins and PP on shirts.
