LeBron, Kobe, Lupe & KRS-One: Dunking on Reindeers Nike Commercial (Video)

In case you missed this yesterday, this is a must-see commercial. Its hip hop meets Christmas meets commerciality at its finest! I’m in my sports mood today. 
In case you hadn’t figured it out, the muppet on the left is LeBron and the one on the right is Kobe. These muppets have done Jim Henson proud. This, by far, is one of Nike’s best commercials. I know they have a lot in the arsenal, but I’m looking forward to seeing more of the Kobe/LeBron Muppets. Am I by myself?

Hello Ms. Shiraz, Exclusive was a great book all the imagery and detail really made me feel like I was there with Tisha and Shout. There is no doubt in my mind that Privacy won’t be the best thing that ever hit stores and I cant wait to read it. =)

I am pleased to have seen in person and got a chance to read this book. It was filled with tons of scenes that reached out to me personally. I would be glad to read more of your books.
