I don't understand the point either, but they are hilarious, and get the brand name across. I think Nike has such credibility already that their ads don't have to make sense. If this was a Converse ad with Dwyane Wade, for example, I don't think it would be as good - not because of Wade vs. Lebron, but because Converse isn't very established as a basketball brand compared with Adidas, Nike, or Reebok.

haha there you go, much more acurate than my version. Nike could do what ever kind of commercials they want as long as these big name athletes keep signing with them, they'll keep selling.

I love those commercials, and I especially love that little lebron is fantasizing about a white chick with curly hair and glasses.

Magic Johnson and Larry Bird may disagree with you.

More importantly, so would Terry Tate

Terry Tate is Reebok. Were Magic and Larry seriously Converse? That was a little before my time. As I've been growing up, I haven't seen any big basketball players endorsing them until Wade. What the hell happened? I do really like the ad they have with a bunch of his high school and college footage.

I remember hearing this was in large part because Converse owned a trademark on the King James name. Anyone know if that's true?
