New Adidas KG Commercial

[celticmaestro]

it's an official adidas commercial so i'm a little disappointed they didn't use his "anything's possible" quote - maybe in the future?

it looks like it could be official but if it is, it doesn't look like that great of an ad. the video clips of kg don't seem like they're in the hd quality most ads are shot in so i question.

yeah, it's a little weak. it's probably just something to whet our appetites for the real deal before the season starts.

Nah I'm sure it's real.  It's encoded as a web video obviously there will be quality loss.  It's 16:9.  I'm sure it'd look better in actual HD and not some youtube-esque online version.

Its obviously not real, just a video some fan made.  The transitions are too basic .

Why?  Why would a fan make that video and label it Adidas?

Personally I think the Adidas video with O Fortuna playing is just as crappy.   

This one isn't really that bad... some dramatic music.   It's real.  Not sure why people think otherwise

It just continually says "Loading..." for me.

But it'll be tough to top my favorite KG Adidas commercial of all time:

This one is along the same lines.  Same style.

Tough to question its legitimacy when it's on the adidas website lol.

It's clearly real, and it's clearly a terrible ad.

werent they the ones with the "impossible is nothing" campaign a few years back?  seems like KG's quote would be a good fit should they choose to revive it.

Mike and Tommy should be in the add covering themselves with Adidas raincoats.

umm yeah... im not getting any anyone would think the ad was fake.  That makes no sense.  Do people make fake adidas ads that aren't parody?  Why would anyone do that?  If it was a fan made video it would have some horrible rap music and  big flashy text that said "a _______ Production!" ... not a video that resembles the style Adidas has been doing for a while now.   

And it's not that terrible of an ad.  Like mentioned earlier it's a lot like the "the MVP is in good hands now" ad.  It's simple, understated and subtle.  I see nothing wrong with it.

'anything is possible' is actually the motto/saying of another sports product manufacturer in China (very big locally I think), it probably has reference to adidas' motto, but I guess adidas can't use the exact same saying as the Chinese producer.

That was a dumb commercial.  I wish I had those 59 seconds back.

personally, i think nothing tops the commercial where kg is carrying everyone on his back. that was great. in terms of non-adidas commercials, kg and marbury's commercial for espn the magazine, advocating an "all nude" swimsuit issue, is hysterical.
