Dwyane Wade Fall 7 Get up 8 Commercial

[kikananihanai]

Was it Dr. King who said, "It isn't how many times you fall; it is how many times you get up"?

[taalberts1334]

Proverbs 24:16

[grim13reaper2]

Dirk FALL in 2001-2003-2006-2007-2008-2009-­2010 and STAND UP big against the big 3 of lakers,thunders, and heat in 2011 playoff.  FALL 7 STAND UP 9

[grim13reaper2]

dirk nowitzki is the true FALL 7 STAND UP 8

[Sw1fty95]

FALL 7, GET UP 8, TAKE A WHEELCHAIR 1

[lTheeMCl]

This is actually a Japanese proverb. Translated to English, it means roughly to fall 7 times and rise 8. It's supposed to mean determination, that no matter how many times you fall you keep rising to the challenge.

Think of it more like this: You are metaphorically "rising up" to the challenge 8 times, despite having already fallen 7.

[lTheeMCl]

nanakorobi yaoki

Literally: stumbling seven times but recovering eight.

Meaning: perseverance is better than defeat.

Equivalent: perseverance is the key. (thanks to wikiquotes)

[zingelfus]

umm... the commercial isn't talking about standing up it is saying every time you fall or fail you get back up stronger

[ecsoroca]

What the fuck is wrong with everyone? Obviously it's a metaphor! lmao

[Jumpman0818]

@ecsoroca It's rather a figure of speech .Metaphors are words that express/suggest different meanings than their original senses.

[antikbapes]

@legio1994 cuz your standing the first time you fall. so when you fall the 7th time your standing for the 8th

[legio1994]

I like this commercial but is an epic fail...if you fall down 7 times you get up 7 times...WHY 8 TIMES?

[spartapu1992]

@legio1994 it doesnt mean 7 times the literaly way....it means 8 times about stepping up...

[gallagherism1]

well, first your standing:1 then you fall:1 stand back up:2 fall again:2 stand up:3 fall:3 stand up:4 fall again:4 stand up:5 fall:5 stand up:6 fall:6 stand up:7 fall:7 stand back up:8

[theesnawy]

if you think about ,it doesnt make any sense, how can u get up 8 times wen u only fell 7 times

[DoTheDanwah]

technically...you can't fall 7 times and stand up 8...

[quanboy24]

wat is the song

[Jose76890]

christianity is not a joke... no religion is. people can believe what they want and thats what makes this world great. its not cool to hate on its religion just bc of certain people or other things. i do believe there is a god, and that he is always there with us, and if you dont believe that, thats fine. just dont hate on the people that do.

[Jose76890]

whats the song?

[dre3zy0564]

D wade is a beast, but fuck that whole bible comment. NO ONE is a REAL christian besides what makes Christians better than anyone else?

[redneckbob109]

@dre3zy0564 christianity is a joke

[FabulousZero]

this is what I think every time this guys plays. "why is he always falling down?" "why doesn't take better care of himself?" "does he think he'll be able to pop back up forever?" One day he's going to get a serious injury and after what he did to Rondo I won't be sorry

[charltonochoa]

@FabulousZero well because he plays his heart out and its a thin line to walk ,the league isnt what it is,its intense and full of awesome players up and down the field. So hes giving it his all . And Im sure he didnt do anything to Rondo on purpose,injuries happen all the time. You showed show lvoe and appreciate all players ya know.

[mandygranto]

slancherton blah man, this vid is why I love NBA even with its issues. I am doing this workout routine that's used by NBA players - "50-inch-vertical(dot)com" - I already jump few ins higher and leading my team on the court!

[HiddenNinja129]

@airporkchia wtf nooooo. This has been a top comment in like every basketball video

[ilevell11]

J.A sent me here!

[drjqool]

This is not a retarded Christian thing. Japanese invented Christ. This is a Jap proverb.

[AJ36sXe]

Random Fact: At 0:07 is the middle school I used to attend, formerly Bolingbrook High School, now Brooks Middle School.

[Nelly305ful]

Inspiring commercial

[tebasak1]

There is a proverb in Japanese which is the same. 七転八起. Fall down seven times, get up eight. I'm not sure if it's 100% Christian to begin with. Maybe Christian teachings became Japanese heritage. It's very interesting to see many of life's lessons transcend continents, cultures, and language even in times when they have never interacted before in history.

[Shadoweprinz]

@tebasak1 i never understood that particular japanese proverb. can somebody tell me how it is possible to get up more times than you fall? seems like if you fall 7 times, you cannot get up more than 7 times?!?@#!?@$!@#$!@

im confused o_O

[cougar014]

u cant stand up 8 times if you only fall down 7 times...

dwayne wade goes ham tho

[tremac]

@cougar014 you got up first for you to fall the first time Einstein

[rememberthename33]

@tremac but you would have to have fallen to get up

[tremac]

@rememberthename33 Jus cause you got up doesn't mean you fell to begin with food for thought nigga analyze my words cause your last statement shows you didnt understand what i meant the first time

[tebasak1]

@tremac lol. No, just because you got doesn't mean you fell. But the important lesson is when you do fall, that you get your ass up.

[rememberthename33]

@tremac yeah if you're literally getting up, but this is a metaphor, if you aren't metaphorically down then how can you get up. fuck you're dumb

[Grig0Tr3la]

Im from Greece 16 years old and i actually stopped believing in Christ a long time ago...Actually i believe there is no god at all and tha part of our lives is A HUGE LIE BUT what i do believe is that if u fall 7 times u should find the strengh to stand up 8 and no god will help u....

[RainMan1337L]

lol I thought they would make a Kobe and Gasol motivational commercial w/ this verse. Proverbs 24:16----- Kobe Bryant 24, Pau Gasol 16.

[RaY77th]

It's shown he fell 6 times and got up 5 time lol

[NesianBoY96]

Haha you cant get up more times than youve fell....whata shit saying lol

[TheStygianAbyss24]

"Though the righteous fall seven times, he rises up again.." Proverbs 24:16

[TheAnvilMan]

Sick Ass Commercial!

[fatpigsinlove]

actually, it would be fall down 7 times, get up 7 times if u think about it...... unless u fell purposely and got up again o.o

[SpydaMonster]

@fatpigsinlove no because standing before your first fall is the first time. dumbass!

[Mowno]

@fatpigsinlove Well, when you first stand up (get up), you didn't fall initially because you were given birth. So your get up count will always be and-one (lol). Well, until you die that is, then it's all equal.

[MagicWorldChampion]

Wrong. The cleavage process is the reference that you're set being human. It's information. The moment your pussy gets up that's your allocational position, brat!

[remember11220]

no, by my philosophy, going from lying down to crawling is not getting up, because that means you could get up twice without falling again. Thats whats idiotic, not what im saying u dumbass. Does that even make sense to you? And wtf are you talking about, when ur in the uterus, you know ur not standing up right? ur floating and bouncing around in liquid and along the uterus walls. And as a fetus, YOU ARENT EVEN A HUMAN YET. your arguments are that of an uneducated retard...

[yungS12]

@remember11220 its a commercial how about trying to relax becuase the whole point of this is bible related anyways so doesnt matter what u have to prove to this man

[MagicWorldChampion]

He's with Jordan now. Rofl!/hihihihiX)

[tdahl824]

haha first clip was him dunking over a kid at my high school...we were in the same SICA conference back in the day

[Jackie53427]

let me know later slancherton

Dwyane Wade Fall 7 Get up 8 Commercial itaziemloyjpnaxaqmfa cywocqmx #slancherton

[M3ltingP0t]

[jktarpey]

[24CRED24]

its also a japanese proverb

[dfence915]

I did not know that drwood. But interesting though. Makes me understand commercial more now.

[jsetreevmeyns]

I love this..

[jackellis082]

slancherton, occasionally I make myself to remind myself of exactly what it was like well before I might possibly dunk the ball. Subsequently after I practiced the workout system at | 50 inch vertical [dot] com | - my skills has been improving quickly #key1#

Dwyane Wade Fall 7 Get up 8 Commercial

[zachwolfe286]

[itsanev]

... and btw one of the best commercials on converse

[spartapu1992]

does anybody knows whats the song at the end of this amazing video?? i want it THANK YOU!!!

[lanccee3]

[spartapu1992]

if you fall seven times get up 7 and in thi case meke a good training and get up and ride the sky like dwyane flying over the simple humans yeah if you fall get up and try it again and make you better when you get that: be better than somebody you made the 8 see you!!

[PCC9]

fall 7 times, rise up 7 times, then once you stand up, jump to dunk. That's the 8th rise.

[rickiroma]

that wats up!!!

[BHF1992]

@lanccee3 you are so stupid man....sorry :P

[tavoberna]

Excellent commercial!

Awesome message!

Please, someone: song name?

[and1rodman91]

i hate commercials but wade has the best commercials

[mazeblue2]

wade has good ones but peyton has the best and the kobe and lebron ones where good to

[CPR123parker]

Sick commercial. I wish it was still on :(

[remember11220]

did you know that you fall down the exact same number of times that you get up in your lifetime?

[dannyboy1825]

i don't think so. does sitting and lying down count as falling? because you get up after those.

[remember11220]

well, the first time you get up (when ur born) you didnt fall initially so you've gotten up one more time than you've fallen but then once you die you dont get back up so it cancels out.

and yes, sitting down and lying down count as falling because you arent standing up

So yes in fact, you fall the exact same amount of times in your lifetime as you get up

[karimbaraka]

wrong bitch

[daninator13]

WHAT IF YOU FELL DOWN AND BROKE YOUR SPING YOU WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO GET BACK UP, YOU DIDNT THINK OF THAT DID YOU MISTER TECHNICAL? lol .

[MagicWorldChampion]

@remember11220 Wrong. The numbers are random. They are not equal

[remember11220]

@MagicWorldChampion ur an idiot. please attempt to justify that. Tell me a situation where you would fall but you would never get back up. Or where you would get up, but you never fall back down.

Go (btw, i already mentioned when you die and when you're born but they cancel each other out. When you're born you didnt fall to begin with so you've gotten up one more time then you've fallen but when you die you dont get back up so it evens out)

[MagicWorldChampion]

@remember11220 Wrong. Sitting is not getting up based on your premises. When your born you're carried and you can sit then lie down again without walking. You didn't include crawling!! Your formula is insane!

[remember11220]

@MagicWorldChampion ur wrong again. im going by the logic that if you arent standing up, you're in a position where you have to GET UP eventually. You cannot possibly disprove that fact. Also, when you're born, yes, you sit, you roll, you get carried, but you never went from a standing position into a sitting position or on your back or any of that so you started from the ground. Since when you're born you started from the ground, the first time you get up is 1 more time than any other position

[MagicWorldChampion]

@remember11220 When you crawl you get up once.. When you're carried on your mother's pussy that counts 1 get up. When your mother lies in bed, you lie in her pussy. The origin of position is the position of your mother the instant the sperm contract to this egg! Learn pussy! You are illiterate fool!

[karimbaraka]

smart

[MrsRandomMadeMeDoIt]

nah.. thats not always true m8.. im still laying on the floor and i AINT getting up!

[umiami89]

its a analogy that you didnt get. like its trying to say you'll never lose if you keep getting up

[RandyMoss94]

[O0HSARAHHH]

I hate those.

And four other pair of d.wades.

[O0HSARAHHH]

I meant HAVE not hate.

lol I LOVE d.wade<3

[ty22walker]

anyone know the song to this commercial?.the beat is sick

[UReh680]

i dont get it if u fall 7 times u get up 7 times

[drwood04]

The explanation:

Dwayne Wade is a Christian -- a REAL Christian (i.e. one who actually obeys the Biblical command to give 10% of his income to advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ -- this is known as a tithe)

The commercial is a reference to the Bible verse Proverbs 24:16 -- "Though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again" (stand up eight)

Clear homage, but subtle enough to be missed by many watching the commercial; those who get it, get it, those who don't still like the commercial.

[harsha8976]

And i think he chose, the # 3 for a relegious reason, didnt he?

[drwood04]

Yes, that's true. He chose the number 3 because it represents the Holy Trinity -- God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit.

[harsha8976]

ohhh ty for the info on one of my fav players =)

[arodaman]

really? I thought about that, but it sounds to deep. "Fall seven times. Stand up eight" is also a Japanese proverb

[ukpongbball]

@drwood04 so im guessing wade is not with illuminati..

[jm0984]

@drwood04 ...Even if you fall down 7 times, you can only stand up from them 7 times....

[TheStevo94]

@jm0984 no dipshit becasue your standing to start with

[jm0984]

@TheStevo94 no shit genius.... but the act of "standing up after you fall" can only happen AFTER YOU FALL, therefore your initial position is moot. Nice effort, though.

[LegMDend]

@drwood04 Is cheating on his wife part of "REAL" Christianity too? Don't get me wrong, I love Wade...but let's not put him on a pedestal here.

[davidakad]

@drwood04 thats why he is my favorite ball player imma get that tatooed on me

[jpwpcp]

@drwood04 "...just because it's written in stone doesn't mean it's true..." regarding what it means to be a REAL Christian... look up the origins of the "ichthys/ichthus", chi-rho, and the cross and you'll see that the "true" meaning of Christ is more allegorical than tangible.

"The wise are the quietest for the first to fall are the loud..."

"Don't talk about it, BE about it..."

[MIAgdup]

I want those shoes so bad, too bad there not on sale anymore the second converse puts them back on the shelves im grabbin em
