Jordan's next generation



OK, the YouTube kinda wears me out too, but I just thought this Jordan ad is pretty amazing. So funny how iconic some of the little details are.

Darren Rovell from ESPN.com, who writes pretty excellent sports business articles, wrote about this, and even the smallest details are re-created in these scenes, like the bench in the slam dunk contest, etc. But he said he's assured by the people who made the ad that there's no trickery here, and these kids are all pulling this stuff off.

  • That's pretty damn good. The leaping arm pump while the dude he hits the shot over flails his arms in frustration was nailed to a T. I guess so was everything else, but that one was pretty sweet.

  • It definitely should, but I wonder if it ever will because it's basically a trademarked Nike logo, and you know they're not about to give that up easily.
