Someone may have posted it already.  Fun Pepsi marketing. Not sure how much of it was fake.

Pepsi MAX went to a pick-up game in Bloomfield, NJ pretending to shoot a documentary on a basketball player named "Kevin." When his Uncle Drew came into the game, some magical things happened.

No this isn't entirely fake, I was there at the park when they told us that they're going to film some guy. Those Pepsi has been given to us for free by the staff. Plus those "attractive girls" you mentioned, are dudes girlfriends. And that's not even a ghetto place. White, Black..everybody goes

Maybe some of them weren't in on it.  You have to assume they knew the dude was SOMEONE seeing as there were camera crews all around... and probably could tell it was a guy in costume.

BTW... even though he won rookie of the year, Kyrie Irving is super underrated, imo. Kid is a future megastar. At 19 years old he averaged 18.5 points, 5.4 assists, 4 rebounds, 1.1 steals on 47% shooting... 40% from three... 87% from the line in about 30 minutes a game. SICK shooting percentages for a 19 year old rookie point guard considering his team was horrible and he was often double teamed. It's almost unthinkable to shoot that well at that age playing that position. I think he's partially overlooked, because he's suddenly the best player on the post-LeBron James Cleveland Cavs.   Anyone got any examples of a 19 year old who shot comparably to that?  I know Kobe, Bron and Durant were all like 41% shooters as rookies.

i swear Cleveland needs to go on a trade spree, or just sign a few helpful free agents this summer because with this kid running the show i think they can grab the 8th seed next season.

When the Cavs win the draft lottery that won't be necessary. Anthony Davis, Irving and Varejao would be a solid core for a playoff team. They could also get pretty decent value out of the Lakers pick. If they could manage to get either a solid wing or a 3 point shooter with that pick, they'd be in great position going into next year.

IM rooting for them to get the #1 pick.  Irving and Davis would be a SICK foundation for the next 15+ years.  Only problem is that if that ends up happening... be prepared for the hundreds of "Will Bron return to Cleveland?" stories that will start floating around in a few years when James has an opt-out of his contract, Wade is a bit older, and the Cavs have boatloads of cap room (summer of 2014). Put money on it.

Funny vid  ;D

Even our own KG didn't put up those numbers as a 19 yr old. His numbers were 10.4 pts, 6.3 rebs, 1.6 blocks, 1.8 asts, 1.1 stls. Still VERY GOOD numbers, though, especially on the defensive end.

Kyrie will be (already is) a special player. Like LarBrd33 stated, if CLE ends up with the 1st pick AGAIN, LOL...they could have Kyrie, Anthony Davis, Andy V......

Yep..I can definitely hear the "Lebron back to CLE?" rumors.....even worse if BOS beats them here in the ECF. I imagine the pressure for MIA to break up that group will be even greater.

I can certainly see Lebron James back in CLE.

I can't get enough of this kid.  He's got a looong and successful career ahead of him.

why would we as Celtics fans, want the Cavs to pair Irving with Davis?  That doesn't make any sense at all.  Davis needs to go out west or to a team that will just totally mess it up like the Wizards or Bobcats.

That was awesome.
They knew it was being filmed for Pepsi, but they thought it was a documentary on a random kid.  There wasn't a huge film crew there.  Everyone there but the few people in on it were surprised.
