I believe that Nike took advantage of an under educated young man like Garnett at that time and humiliated him. The theme and setting for this commercial was clearly not thought out given the lack of sensitivity to the historic nature of perceived negative behavior by Black men towards White women. Too bad the Nike Board of Directors members like Michael Jordan are so busy making money that they allowed this garbage commercial to slip through the cracks,
I was so offended by this commercial that I immediately wrote Nike to complain. The image of large "lecherous" African American males surrounding a small White woman to view her private parts only helps to perpetuate negative stereotypes of Black men.
That's Brandi Chastain, a soccer player who once celebrated a game-winning penalty kick by removing her jersey, wearing just her sports bra. The famous image even made the cover of Sports Illustrated, TIME and Newsweek.
In this Nike commercial, KG and his friends are obviously expecting her to do it again.

I remember laughing at this commercial :)
Somehow I don't see Wambach, Boxx, Cheney, or Morgan doing that if they win this year though lol. I wouldn't put it past Rapinoe though....

KG was with Nike until the end of 2000.
From 2001-2003, he was with AND1.
And he's been with Adidas ever since 2003.
