muhammed ali impossible is nothing adidas "the long run"

[cyberoptictroll]

Imagine actually seeing all of these people on a jog :L

[peterdevenny]

seriously beckam is not worthy to even be in this video let alone be running along with ali 

[inviziblehunter]

@taxsi his name muhammAd with A not E, you should honor him by writting his name the way he like it, the same thing with your other video

[davidwefc]

Count the world class athletes in the back ground, all of which taking a step back for Muhammad Ali, The Greatest man that ever lived.

[chrislipimp]

Forget fighting the country's fight Muhammad Ali had his own fights to worry about and you patriotic fools talking about Ali being a pussy or what not. He clearly said he had nothing against Vietnamese so why fight em. Fuck trading freedom for patriotism lol point less

[redstar213la]

motivating stuff

[pfarwell21]

Watched it 100 times so far and it still gives me goosebumps

[dannyfeta]

truly the assholes who dislike a man with willpower of possibly no one else ever seen. watch some rumble in the jungle and you will learn what willpower is

[juanflo1000]

Tremendo Mohamed... uno de los mejores de su tiempo...

[LCXXXSR]

favorite commercial of all time.

[SteveBrant55]

One of the great ad campaigns of all time!

[footballelmaestro123]

@mufcrulesable

how can you call ali a coward.............. your the coward for sitting behind a keyboard and typing shit.....

ali is god-like everyone knows that

[funnywijk]

@mufcrulesable If he had gone to Vietnam he wouldn't have been sent into live combat, just made to perform in exhibition matches for the troops to raise morale, looks like your the one who doesn't know anything, you fucking moron.

[TheRock3tman]

@mufcrulesable

If he fought in the war the US'n A had not lost it in a humiliating way. But if fought in the viatnam war people would spit on him today. like they do it to other vets

[Murcury159]

@mufcrulesabl

He is overrated? As a boxer as a person? As a boxer he was definitely one of the greatest.

You can't overrate a persons character either. The reason he was a hero to many was because he listened to himself, and not to others. I don't think your someone to make that kind of a judgement, you will never make a difference to anything in your life, and you won't if you talk about people like that. Ali is an inspiration to millions, and you say that all those people don't have a clue?

[h0olaman]

@NyBBalla hvala brate, lepo da si na srpskom odgovorio. sve sto si reko je potpuno tacno, svaka cast. puno pozdrava

[dibosh80]

".....it’s okay to believe, that there is no can’t, won’t or impossible. They remind us that it is okay to believe Impossible is Nothing." 10/10



.

[sievin]

always my favorite ads to keep me move on from difficult times.

[gnayiew95]

when was this vid taken why is ali so young again

[thegiftedmedia]

@gnayiew95 It was taken when he was in Zaire. In the real video there is bunch of locals following him and hanging out with him. This is an edited version with other athletes.

[bartosx]

@gnayiew95

prletty sure its before the rumble of the jungle vs foreman in.. what 1974 ? ali must ve been..

32 here ?

[h0olaman]

its just crazy how they all appear small, uncharismatic and not important compared to ali. i think we can count ourselves lucky to be able to say that we lived when ali lived. such a human being appears once in a lifetime.

[barguna]

@h0olaman Undoubtedly.

[slickflicks]

IM DANCIN'!!!!!

[fixuplooksharp66]

when i was in my final year at school i had to use 3 different video clips with speech in for a piece of coursework. i chose the general topic of boxing just so that i could use and analyse this video. 3 years on i still find it hugely inspirational.

[ds37]

Haile Gebreselassie, Zinedine Zidane & Ali in the same commercial: Impossible is nothing!

[miguelangdl]

All right, i supuse this is and actualy footage from the 70's of Ali running, with the diference of adding all those athletes, well, i've heard that in boxing, the road training is "running", but correct me if am wrong, in this clip, Ali is JOGGING, is this true?, because we all know that Jogging is bad for your spine, just help me out here, do i have to run or jogg if am training boxing?

[mAcSunMood]

@miguelangdl you have to run with changing speed during your run. boxers' muscles have to be trained for the impulsive use of it's energy.

[miguelangdl]

@mAcSunMood thank you

[TownPiligan]

@miguelangdl train like you play, in boxing you do high intensity for set amount of time, so you want to run for boxing or jog fast, a slow rhythmic jog won't do much for you in comparison with a fast jog or sprinting exercises

[miguelangdl]

@TownPiligan thank you

[DfusionMan]

amen to the adidas men....tracy mcgrady, beckham, ali, and the rest of the crew <333333333333333333333 Impossible is NOTHING

[MissMaybellen]

Love her voice, intense and soft and comforting, a mom teaching her kid that IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING

[Th3MainMan]

one of my favourites, but the best commercial has to go to the michael jordan failure commercial thats outstanding!

[diegoromeromora]

youre out son!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[andydufresne87]

Youtube makes sense for videos like this, one day I will show it to my children, thank you ALI...

[TurkKazakh777]

Run Ali , Run!

[blinkils]

i love the video an the motivational speech, but wtf are guys like zidane oder beckham doing in there? they have nothing in common with a huge man like ali except beeing sportsmen. ali was a symbol for black people and what is beckham? a good players yeah, but what did he ever do for mankind?

[BenJamAlexander]

Truly Inspirational!!!

Im walking 1500 miles,solo, next year - to raise money for cancer research. You can follow my trip on Facebook or Twitter, Name - Ben Jam Alexander

[grimbomufc09]

[melissaveroza]

GAVE ME SHIVERS, ALI YOU ARE THE BEST.

[parasprodigy]

seriously one of the best inspirational sports commerical ever ...

[keanu202020]

Great Ali!

[2010whyman]

muhammad ali = the great ever boxer

zidane = the greatest ever footballer

what a great advert, one of my fav

[Rsqz]

Probably now wish they could get rid of Marion Jones and TMac...:P

[Manolo1013]

Witness the REAL!

Real people with big HEARTS.

[judopathoftruth]

the should have put a few gold medalist judo olympians in ths video aswell.

football doesnt do justice for it at all.

[mattaj1]

o:49 BEST

[vcera]

Muhammad Ali, Haile and Zizou´---KINGS!!

[yaumanto]

much better than nike's commercials which are filled with fame fortune money and sex

[HansoFoundation]

I've no idea how they did this advert. But it's very inspirational

[marshalparshal]

impossible is nothing so its possible impossible is nothing is impossible lol

[GOATAli]

Next to Ali, all these great athletes were just great athletes, Ali was more.

The King!

[racketer]

@GOATAli excuse me? Do you even have a clue what haile has done in the sport of running?

[GOATAli]

@racketer Eh, yes. Haile is one of sports geatest athletes. I never said different.

Ali was simply the most charismatic and famous of them all. Even the great athletes look up to him and adore him. He was more than just an athlete. Go watch Ali receive the "lost" medal in 1996 at the basketball game during the Olympics. Watch the adiulation from some of the worlds greatest basketballers.

Haile was one of track and fields greatest. Ali was the GREATEST.

[racketer]

@GOATAli Haile was better... Ali was nothing but a big mouthpiece and a racist...

[HonorGuard117]

@racketer When Ali was a younger man, he did preach the wrong stuff. As the years went by, his thoughts and feelings as a younger man weren't there with him no more. He was preaching the good stuff during his early 30's. In his mid 20's, he was a black athlete who experienced the height of racism, which is why his thoughts and feelings during that time were of hate.

[racketer]

@HonorGuard117 when he was younger??? HAHA. Ali never stopped going on about the whiteman and how were the devil and how he doesnt respect us. He never changed his mind... He hated all of us after black discrimination stopped i know more about him than you! racist asshole! A black guy can come on a show and talk bad about all white men but when we say somthing about a black man were known as a racist but he isnt! Bullshit

[HonorGuard117]

@racketer Oh man, I don't know whether you're just immature, narrow-minded or living in the wrong era... or maybe a mixture of all of them. You're judging Ali when he was a younger man instead of what he's become. Back in 60's America, Ali was being taught to hate... He's matured and the leader of Islam during that era has passed away. If you're going to judge Ali when he was 25 years old, then you're in the wrong. Judge someone's current actions, not his past one's.

[racketer]

@HonorGuard117 i think your just an idiot. that's what i think... I don't talk to idiots. so sorry i can't continue this debate about ali who is a racist... Haile has achieved more than him in the sport of running. End of. I win.

[HonorGuard117]

@racketer Hmmm. I sense that you've hit a dead end, and so you resolve through name calling etc. Yeah, you can't continue this debate because what I've just said is the truth. If you're going to condemn someone because of their past, what kind of person are you? If you're going to disrespect a man because you don't truly understand from his perspective, then what kind of person are you? You're just another simple-minded person on this earth that needs to learn.

[trigun321]

@racketer when did black discrimination stop??

[Daewone]

@racketer I don't care about the context and all those overwhelming youtube disputes but really, your last sentence is very very true... We talk about discrimination in America and for sure it's always been terrible... but see what happens whenever a white man goes to South African countryside... just gets killed. And unlike historical episodes like the apartheid, it's not about to get better. End of the line.

Out of all races, it's within white folks that you find the greatest racial openness.

[calbo555]

@HonorGuard117 exactly but he knew no different as in his youth blacks were not even aloud in resturaunts , even after he won the olympic gold .. that bad !! after years went by he began to see sense and became better.. watch the 3 parkinson interviews that shows how much he change and became the greatest man never mind boxer of all time .. im white btw :)

[2010whyman]

@racketer go to sleep you uneducated prick.

[calbo555]

@racketer clearly u know absolute fuck all !! go back to sleep u idiot !!

[shopgirlsworld]

So true! Impossible is merely a word, I simply do not acknowledge what is impossible but rather say "yes to life and my ability to accomplish my goals.." If I believe I can, I can! This commercial is ingenious, love it!

[bebo3ful]

Today it would be Usain Bolt, Fedor Emelianenko, Michael Phelps, Lionel Messi, Valentino Rossi

[calbo555]

@bebo3ful very true :)

[AliCarmona]

Pffft Beckham alongside Ali? Blasfemy! ! What were they thinking?

[JapanCanuck]

Awesome!

[umar100000]

how did they get ali into it

[kenneth2951]

i wish i could find a shirt that says impossible is nothing on it

[TheRamtor]

@kenneth2951 i have a shirt :)

[kenneth2951]

@TheRamtor Lucky.

[rofldinho]

Ali was such a perfect athlete, one of the greatest ever. Look at his size, his muscles, chest and shoulders, his entire body as a whole all dwarfs the other athletes around him, even if one of them is taller. Yet he was fast, and had great stamina. This is why he was arguably the greatest boxer ever, certainly the greatest heavyweight. A man who is both big and fast, had stamina and size, so rare in a heavyweight. He was, and still remains, the fastest heavyweight the sport has ever seen.

[forrealreal]

"some people listen to themselves, rather than listen to what others say. These people don't come along very often, but when they do, they remind us, that once you set out on a path, even though critics may doubt you, it's ok to believe that there is no can't , won't, or impossible. They remind us, that it's ok to believe; impossible, is nothing." respect Adidas.

[qazxswedcccvfrtgbnhy]

[emitraxtube]

Anyone knows where I can get an Adidas t-shirt with the "Impossible is nothing" written? It seems impossible to find it :-)

[vanilor21]

hahaha, probably online at the adidas store, or at an adidas mall =P

[emitraxtube]

I wish it was so easy. I've been looking for it for weeks, but nothing. If you find it, please let me know! ;-)

[NicolasVladimirov]

[taxsi]

[bebo3ful]

Valentino Rossi should be on that list :) Nobody thought he could win on Yamaha and here he is 5 (or is it 6?) years later smashing it up.

[Belloz580]

He can run, cause, implossible is nothing

[bubandit06]

its video superimposition, they take the image of him running from ages ago, they then film the others with a positin marker so they know where ali is in the shot so they are superimposed around him uknow so they dont run across that point and mess up the advert, its like advanced chromakeying or overlay

[GoRla89]

Muhammed ALi can't run how they make a add like that

[roadrunner7000]

Its a old vieo of him read the video desciption

[evoracer112]

[Hennywise]

[ciaran1000]

He was one of the greatest athletes of all time and one of the greatest human beings that truly believed Impossibe Is Nothing!

[calbo555]

[supernuage]

Some people listen to themselves... rather than listen to what others says. These people don't come along very often. But when they do, they remind us... that once you set up on a path, even though critics may doubt you, it's okay to believe... that there is no "can't", "won't" or "impossible".

They remind us... that it's okay to believe... "impossible is nothing"
