2005 Spike Lee Michael Jordan Commercial

[BigMacTIC]

its D Rose, watched Jordan every day, Chicago stand up

[VangoMaradona]

It's Yao

[tank100286]

I love that quote, "I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying" dope ass commercial

[NYPDBLUE87]

It's Kevin Durant, because Portland wanted a big man (Greg Odom)

[DopeLivenEnt]

And @ablab That Was Supposed To Be Micheal Original Team But They didnt Want Him

[DopeLivenEnt]

I Want That Book SWAGG

[aBlab12]

Its Kevin Durant, cuz portland wanted another bigman

[UltimateLifter]

This commercial is awesome. It really inspires you to go out and do your best. We need more of this in the world.

[Mr12justin]

IT WAS D ROSE

[BG7024]

It was Darko Milicic lol

[ItsLebronsHairline]

It was Alberto Ambrose... But he let Derrick Rose get it.

[MultiTheCreator]

Its ME! :D

[Nunie323]

Kobe will never be like mike.. He was never even rookie of the year

[Lorenshyne]

@Nunie323 He shoulda been ROY as an 18 year old?

[minimcgrady01]

@Nunie323 and mj never droped 81 soo stfu lol

[NYPDBLUE87]

@minimcgrady01 MJ never faced a team as sorry as the Toronto Rapters like Kobe.....Instead, he faced an all time great Celtics team and dropped 63.

MJ > (Insert name here)

[havemersyonem]

Derrick rose will never be #23 Mann !!! Kb24 is the closest thing you will see to #23

[flickmonger87]

@havemersyonem You bring up a good point. Thirty years from now, when people are talking about the 10 best basketball players who ever played the game, I think that you're gonna see Jordan, Kobe, and D-Rose on that list. Personally, I think that at the current moment, Kobe is undoutably the best player to come through the NBA since Jordan retired...

[mstha2bad]

@havemersyonem no h'e'll be the faker thing we'll see trying to be mike!

[TheTurkgamer]

it was my left nut

[xBornChampionx]

It was Derrick Rose.

[leobsession123456789]

And this time his retirement was final but don't be sad it doesn't end there because there's somewhere, someone is practicing who was it? who is it? -It's Derrick Rose

[villapomos]

25 people accept not trying

[XxXprobeXxX]

Macklemore read it better

[TheRicoTubbz]

Macklemore!



[MyLithuania]

mmmhhhh !!!!

[chefawkes]

@noi2c

u jinxed it muthafucka

[1thanman123]

It's me! Oh wait that's what I am supposed to think. It is Andre omer! But I just made that up. SPORTBALL!!!!

[Bsnakezs]

ITS KOBE BRYANT

[cowsgoruff16]

0:54 you could see Namond from "The Wire"

[DGKSERB]

Rose forsure can be compared to Jordan. With his dedication and hard work, his love for the game. He's quite equal to Jordan. Rose has potential, it took Micheal 7 years to win it. And if Micheal says that this bulls team now can win more than 6 championships, that means Rose is just as good.

[leobsession123456789]

@DGKSERB I'm speechless to your comment. Wow, man. Rose is great like Michael. Haha. But your spelling of Michael is wrong. Haha.

[handsomejustin]

MICHAEL JACKSON!!! I meant Jordan...

btw Spike Lee directed "They don't care about us"

[trackstarz2011]

i dont wanna say lebron wasnt practicing buuuut....lol

[myri0191]

to all you dicksuckers kobe will went down to be the GOAT .. and u talk about some bitches like lebron and wade who can't even win together .. Iverson deserves much more respect you shitholes

[hoopsforlife2316121]

I shouldn't be watching this i should be practicing.

[jam4me23]

Steffie Graf.....

[handsomechill22]

i can accept failure, but i cannot accept no trying, those are some fucking heavy words, LONG LIVE HIS AIRNESS

[ihongers]

Brian scalabrine

[pinoypogi1983]

HE TRAVELLED TO CHICAGO BECAUSE PORTLAND WANTED A BIG MAN. THE BIGGEST MISTAKE IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND WAS MADE BY THE BLAZERS. LOL

[joaopescusa]

@pinoypogi1983 and because portland selected drexler the year before

[volbox]

@pinoypogi1983

maybe the blazers didn't really want six championships

[2pacbasketball]

@pinoypogi1983 Portland just has bad luck drafting players, not only did they pass on Jordan, they passed on Kevin Durant as well. In the 2006 draft they originally drafted Randy Foye and traded to get Brandon Roy.

[natsuakamaru]

It was Ari Gold

[Raw000]

It was Harold Miner........

[Epimpin101]

it was Dwayne Wayde...

[DoTheDanwah]

Derrick Rose....is nothing like Michael Jordan ever was...

[sickgadgets]

Derrick Rose............for now.........

[Wingman2308]

0;54 if you watch the tv show THE WIRE you know who that kid is its NAMMOND!!!!!!!!!! LOL

[DjChoco23]

it was Lebron James.

[10airflight]

there we go again my leg just frozed up with goose bumps from another jordan commercial

[ticomonster]

Haha 23 dislikes

[NallePu83]

@ticomonster Shit 24 now.......fucking Kobe!

[NextAirJordan237]

I'm the next air Jordan because I have faith and God will guide me to success :)

[f22cool]

@NextAirJordan237 nice kid thats how i like kids to think thumbs up

[MiopTop]

cos Portlad wanted a big man ... * shakes head * rofl

[thedbwallstreet]

Mike is the greatest!

[Iamonewhobelieves]

GET IT SPIKE!!! AWESOME JOB!!

[TheLegendaryTOC]

I was a Bulls fan back when Jordan played. And still am in a sense. When Jordan left the Bulls stopped really caring about the NBA. But I'm from OKC so when we finally got a team had to rep them. I was a fan from day 1. And hope Durant can string together championships for us like Jordan did for Chicago. I have to go for the Thunder because I'm true to my home town. But if the Bulls win it all I wouldn't be upset about that either. The Bulls always have had a place in my NBA heart though.

[RAV52]

The best series of commercials in the history of tennis shoes...BY A MILE

[Mr512KING512]

kobe

[wertuiop432]

Its Scalabrine

[WingZeroXXXG]

It wasn't Kwame Brown

[masterchiefrules2012]

the AJ XX are dope Jordans and meant to be the 2nd anniversary shoe after the AJ X.

Some didn't like the strap at the ankle. But i think the AJ XX are among the most original designs of Air Jordans.

[Kwizmatix]

@TheBigb187 Hahahaha... Jordan will never live that Kwame Brown pick down. lol. Good one.

[XDAZNdude]

carmelo. am i right?

[uberathlete]

Mars!

[PakoLocoproductions]

harold miner!

[DNell315]

Its.... Mookie Blaylock

[JaironHarrison]

:53 namond from the wire

[spy333able]

GO BULLS!! :)

[basdhc]

It was Brian Scalabrine!

[SuperWiseyoung88]

Damn Ehlo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperWiseyoung88]

Damn Elho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EponymousKid]

Spike and those kids laughed, but at the time of the 84 draft it was a smarter move for the Blazers to pick Bowie. They really did need a big, Jordan wouldn't have remedied that problem. The Bulls were actually pissed that Portland took Bowie before they could. Yes, in hindsight it seems like a boneheaded move, but Bowie was the obvious choice back then and to say otherwise is historical revisionism.

[deebell23]

it was james johnson!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aminfrared]

"penny"

[aminfrared]

the someone was penny hardaway but he dont play no more :('

[illlcrazymethod]

this makes me want to watch a spike lee movie... probably He Got Game

[SwatonFate343]

maybe it's Joe Alexander

[termbest]

ITS.... me

[xxSHADOWxWARRIORXX]

@DNell15 if you truely think that like for real you are mentally challenged

[DNell315]

ITS.. LEBRON JAMES

[bigbossmann99]

@DNell315 no, the guy is supposed to be like michael, meaning he's supposed to WIN rings lol

[DoTheDanwah]

and being the greatest is more than just winning, just ask Bill Russel. 11 NBA Championships and does anybody call him the greatest? No. They say Michael Jordan. 6 Rings. This is why even if Kobe gets 6 he wont be greater. It's not just winning, it is how u play the game. Michael did it better than anyone. See the Flu Game, The Shot, The Last Shot, The 51 points at age 38 for reference

[AciddReign]

it was Brian Scalabrine

[beanhead8]

little did people know that this is actually the story of Melo

[Ted83412]

@beanhead8 How is this Melo carmelo did not go to north carolina or win 6 championships or retire u stupid ass so get your facts right

[PedjaSM]

It was Adam Morrison.:D

[ballaspud22]

No one is as good as mike because if u take any single player in todays game and put them in the nba jordan played they wouldnt be as close to as successful as he was. And if he played todays game he would destry and average at least 40 pts a game

[DoTheDanwah]

Nobody wants to admit it, but it's LeBron James

[slightlycal42]

@DoTheDanwah lebron hasnt won a championship yet and if he doesnt win it this year with d wade, he will never be better than jordan

[DoTheDanwah]

@slightlycal42 nobody will ever be better than Jordan, but LeBron is the closest thing the current NBA has a superstar, all star, brand name, world reknown, global icon, charismatic athlete. and to everybody else. Kobe Bryant is a superstar, though his brand name is no where near LeBron's, he is not world reknown, nor a global icon, and is not charismatic in the slightest. he whines and is always bitter. LeBron is the face of the NBA, Kobe just wins championships.

[JABLONGO]

I never knew his airness was into french impressionism

[JABLONGO]

quartet in F major by Maurice Ravel. classy choice MJ

[Reconseal4050]

BROOKLYN NY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[JahiSalaam]

the guy thats practicing.....thas me.

[marsrox2]

funny how there r 23 dislikes...maybe those r haters of the man who rocked the number 23 in the best way imaginable

[NBALJFan23]

It's the holidays for me so I wake up at like 10:30 a.m. everyday lol and just play b-ball with my friends after breakfast and they're all tired by then

[jjjoestar]

it was nobody...because the league is fucking dead.

[Venom803]

It has been Kobe Bryant all along.

[sebas000075]

@Venom803 Thats it

[JaviSR20DET]

It was D-wade.

[cafedelmar99]

what? Reggie whooped Spike so bad that he had to move to Chicago? :))

[thatonedude675]

I'll give Portland a break on Oden. He was a #1 by everyone's count and he was injury free all through college. It's not like he's averaging 3 points a game.... he just has bones made of sawdust

[Airman32292]

Come back Michael

[Airman32292]

@dbhbtst ? kwame brown, you do realize thats who washington took 1st overall in 2001 when jordan was was the VP of bball ops right? portland took sam bowie over jordan

[Airman32292]

@Airman32292 and they didnt have the first pick in 84 they had the second the first was taken by houston and they took hakeen olajuwan

[Serbist]

The only thing that can motivate me to actually get up at 5 a.m.

[warfaredude12]

@ adprettyking

It is  a 3, it's a circle with the Jordan jumpmam in the middle, which in a way looks like a 3

[kazdamanify]

@warfaredude12 and at the time of the commercial it was the 20th anniversary of the air jordan brand or shoes

[adprettyking]

y those its number 20 at the end, isnt suppose to b number 23

[poopascoopaloop]

@adprettyking air jordan 20

[kanekane28]

Wow I wonder what it feels like to make millions of dollars off of commercials that I didn't even have to appear in.

[Tomachoy]

its kobe duh

[chronic99ify]

The dude with the sweatband use to be in The Wire

[vadesoba]

@chronic99ify yea, he played Namond

[mstha2bad]

its derrick rose !

[Protains]

shivers!

[moboby]

Great ad. It's amazing to think that at this moment, there is some kid, somewhere in the world, playing bball in his back yard, not realizing that he will be the greatest player the world has ever seen. Well, 2nd to MJ that is.

[Lupox22]

is not LeBron... the true heir to the throne of Jordan is Scalabrine

[ninja0406]

is that kid Carmelo @ 16 secs?

[tonyfausset]

Was that NaS at 0:14?

[Pr1ceisright]

some one could match all his numbers, but they'll never achieve the same amount of off court success. And that's why there will never be another Jordan.

[dcatura1]

So... It's definitely not LeBron.

[premmall123]

Thumbs up if this just inspires you

[SomethingRules]

soooooo.... was it the shoes?

[thebiz76]

it was LeBron.

[dallas021]

that was julito mccullum aka namond brice from The Wire @ :54

[MrLail]

MJ inspired a lot of current players t play this game and love it,

[samurai5625]

It was Derrick Rose.

[FoxLich]

@samurai5625 agree :)

[eafsarg]

@samurai5625 It was Scalabrine you fool.

[bigbossmann99]

@samurai5625 Nah, its either kobe or lebron, derrick rose is way overrhyped, he's averaging 24 points, but on 43% fg shooting? That's terrible, he's basically just shot jacking, I dont even think he's the best point guard in the league, I think most gm's would take deron williams or chris paul over him. He's a great player and has a lot of upside for 22, but definitely not the NEXT JORDAN, the way the media is portraying him.

[mstha2bad]

@samurai5625 IKR AFTER 20 YEARS WE KNOW WHO IT WAS ALL ALONG =0

[spy333able]

@samurai5625 dude!! nice post !! =)

[lbj6mj23]

@samurai5625

dont compere rose to micheal never ever DONT EVEN TRY!

[ammonbradford92]

@lbj6mj23 yea i know right! its all about lebron jamesss!!!

[lbj6mj23]

@ammonbradford92

lebron is his own player i respect him for not trying copy mj in everything,unlike kobe but for kobe its not working out well look at his fg%

[myri0191]

@lbj6mj23 do u believe yourself .. shut up and go suck dick ..you know nothing about bball .. so go kill yourself before u write again fucking asshole ..

[lbj6mj23]

@myri0191

what the fuck are you talking about?

[001Maverick001]

Somewhere, Someone is practicing....

[lagoslagos]

i love the way the commercial ends "somewhere...someone is practicing... will you be the one?"

[Timario007]

preach bro AMAN

[DollaBiIIz]

mockuh jodan step on spock lee ass

[wiki001]

yo kobeeeeeeeeeeee

6 ringz for yo rapefist

[sivvybee]

I am a Laker fan but I show my son these because this was the greatest basketball player ever.

[Dingoman9126]

wasn't this song in the Royal Tenenbaums?

[kb24ownsall123]

It must be Kobe cuz he's the greatest to ever play the game

[koolkid1001]

@kb24ownsall123 Nigga hell no.

[SuperYung92]

@kb24ownsall123 R U FUCKIN DUMB?!..YEA KOBE IS THE BEST PLAYER ACTIVE, BUT KOBE MUTHAFUCKIN BRYANT, HAS NOTHING ON MJ...NIGGA U BETTER DO YA HOMEWORK

[megatroll]

@kb24ownsall123

[fieldboychris]

IT WAS KOBE DUHHHHH

[niksisero]

[n7j]

I LOVE CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[waycamp]

Someone may be practicing, but they will not be great as the G.O.A.T.! At least not in my lifetime!

[brokenmonkey000]

It was that nigga Kevin Durant

[mf0526]

lmao namond brice from "the wire" makes a cameo!!

[nextbestrockstar]

absolutely love this. only surprised that since it's spike there was no ridiculous dialogue from some white guy. randomly "niggers cant play ball like my man bird!"

[redfield916]

i wonder? who is practicin

[ThETyRoSh0W]

this commercial is so true everyone has to admit it somone is going to come along and do what micheal did but its defaintly not kobe or lebron

[xxjimmy2timesxx]

couldnt have said it better

[loknich]

why's he always on the same page?

[internacionalmariach]

Great story teller.. wish spike would have read me bed time stories when i was little... ; (

[WitchKingUchiha1]

Lol SWISH!

[iCalvinXP]

jordan is my mom

[jan279]

Enough about stats!!

Jordan is the GOAT!!

[jan279]

I think we should all accept the possibility that someone might be able to surpass MJ but I think it's going to be a very long time!!

[WorldOfSnakes]

@jan279 I think for someone to surpass MJ, they would have to leave a mark on people's cultures, like MJ did. He didn't just leave his mark on the court as you know, but on American culture and I think other cultures as well...so like you, I think it will be a long time before anyone can leave this kind of mark on a culture like MJ did.

[whaizkie]

@LilMidjitAznBoi dude lebron s*** hard in the playoffs.... worst mvp ever even his former coach took the blame for his arrogance he will never ever be the next MJ

[BiggerThanTheDevil88]

is that melo on the right at 0:16 ?

[3jadin]

I'm the next one

[magdaddy15]

that one player that spike says is practicing is Kobe Bryant !!
