Nike Basketball Commercial

[duke241]

@ 2:00 kobe plays like no one is gaurding him. check my channel. songs from the Verbal Thoughts Mixtape are on there. you can get the whole mixtape from the datpiff website. the name's duke by the way aka rtj

[enjaykix]

All these guys are getting old. appreciate the time you have watching them in their prime. even as much as you hate lebron, hes one of the greatest talents we've ever seen.

[mervotheperv]

only Coach K could keep those egos in check

[nandohorus]

USA Anthem rules, greetings from Brazil !

[cmebfresh1]

soul baby. revolution rise 

[MrAlexander1951]

чмо!!!

[wheresdalove312]

the 2012 team will be a better team then they was in 08 if they replace boozer,redd,prince for durant,drose,and maybe kevin love?

[something2307]

Wade can be better than Kobe, you just love him too much to think of the fact no offence tho coz im a fan of kobe as well

[808bayside]

holy shit at 0:23 i thought kobe was skinny?

[collegedad2011]

I am so glad that USA basketball is back. Those self righteous douchebags like Allen Iverson, Vince Carter, Steve Francis, Stephon Marbury and Tracy McGrady are all good, but they made our country look terrible.

[Exoticplaya1]

if you look closely Lebron Travlled.

[johnbsk]

USA basketball will suck in 2012 London Olympic.

[dawizard23mj]

carl lewis sang this way way better than marvin.....hahahaha!

[EpikFluffyGun]

Nike

Just Screw It

[EscoToTheMax]

Dream team for 2012... PG - C. Paul, D. Rose, D. Williams... SG - D. Wade, K. Bryant... SF - K. Durant, L. James... PF/C - C. Anthony, J. Smith, B. Griffin, A. Stoudemier, D. Howard... Defend our gold fellas! USA!!!

[kobetherapist1]

Melo will start over lebron he is so much better

[31dme]

This video gives me chills but I love the video

[FrancoisD]

I cried listening to this. Marvin Gaye has to be the one of the top singers to sing the national anthem besides Whitney houston

[MrWii1997]

2012 starting 5

PG Derrick Rose

SG Dwyane Wade

SF LeBron James

PF Carmelo Anthony

C Dwight Howard

[purz24]

they quickly blurred Dwight Howard. coz this is not a 3 stripe shoe company commercial. : )

[IRS20071]

WE ENJOYED THE VIDEO. Thank you kindly. We wanted to weigh in on the Kobe vs Wade discussed in some of the comments, but living in Los Angeles would make us bias. BUT, but, but, lol Kobe seriously is the best. Kobe was "good" at age 16, and has worked his way up to "great". He plays with all his fiber and soul every game. One thing to note, even in practice sessions his intensity is awesome. Isk & Tsk Youyousova

[ohyeah061696]

wade will never be better than kobe...thats all

[KyleLaurence2]

2012 Stating five :

PG Derrick Rose

SG Kobe Bryant

SF LeBron James

PF Kevin Durant

C Dwight Howard

[tman916x]

@KyleLaurence2

2012 Starters:

PG - CP3 (better ball distributer than Drose)

SG - DWade (at this point he's better than Kobe)

SF - Kevin Durant (too soft for PF)

PF - Lebron James

C - Dwight Howard

I feel bad for any team that plays us!

[The8310353]

@tman916x

its debatable if wade is better than kobe at this point in kobes career, just shows you how good kobe is, not even in his prime, while wade and lebron are at their primes.

[tman916x]

@The8310353 Do you understand what you just said? Kobe is 4 years older than Wade and 7 years older than Lebron. Not only are D-Wade + Lebron better than Kobe at this point, but Kobe is past his prime. Lebron is the most physically gifted player in the NBA right now and I would even say Wade is our most valuable player on off/def in international ball right now. Kobe is def. one of the all time greats but Lakers/Kobe fans gotta step off his scrotum and realize facts.

[The8310353]

@The8310353

yes but everyone knows younger kobe would destroy, especially with a 2nd scoring option in gasol. but oh well kobe helped keep the league alive when jordan retired now its durants, wades,lebrons, roses turn

[ClippsKnicks]

2012 Starting five:

PG Chris Paul

SG Dwayne Wade

SF: LeBron James

PF: Kevin Durant

C: Dwight Howard

Bench: Derrick Rose, Deron Williams, Rajon Rondo, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire, Blake Griffin, Tyson Chandler

[ClippsKnicks]

Rondo is gotta be in da 2012 selection... he would have something like 20 assists/game

[scorchie87]

One of the best commercials ever made, hands down.

[damnidham]

I'd prefer to having CP3 on the starting line-up, cos DeRose's just too fast and it'd be better to place him not in the first quarter.

[neptuneniq]

2012 Lineup

Starting five:

PG: Chris Paul

SG:Dwyane Wade

SF:Lebron James

PF:Kevin Durant

C: Dwight Howard

bench: Derrick Rose, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, Rudy Gay, Tyson Chandler, Stephen Curry

[titans383]

@neptuneniq Bench DRose? you must be crazy

[Marinica12]

SG:KB24

SF:MELO

PF:KD

[Neoribello]

@PeroStinson So what, How did jason kidd make it.

Oh yea he had experience

.

[louis18th]

You'll never see much appearance for D12 and DRose because they signed to Adidas...

At best, you'll only see a cameo appearance

[oldTMAC]

pause at 0:23

[NUMBERONEFAVORITE]

Im a die hard heat fan, and Wade is better then Kobe, but nobody else on the team has the killer instinct that Kobe has.

[gamoto96]

since kidd started playing every time the national team had him they got the gold, every time they didnt they lost!

[BrendanS221]

I'm gonna wait and see how Kobe plays, this season (if there's a season at all).

Cuz he sure seemed pissed mad at the end of last season.:p

Read he had some fancy knee treatment, that and a bit of rest could be just what he needed to come back and be the Kobe that dominated in the gold medal match in 2008. Don't forget that 4th quarter, 13 points and the offensive boost a struggling team USA needed.

[lakerdynasty22]

lol dwight is addidas

[WMBunch1983]

Thank you Marvin for accomplish something no singing artist has ever been able to do: making the Star Spangled Banner sexy. RIP

[Mootai8915]

Best version of the Anthem ive ever heard

[BIGPHILL]

Kobe and Kid were the difference makers in the fiba games and the olympics (not taking anything away from anyone else), but give credit were credit is due. DOES ANYONE HAVE the FIBA and OLYMPIC usa basketball games in a HD format ( I have some) but I need them all.....please contact me........willing to pay if need be.!!!!

[hrnjaz9]

hey men you forgot D-Wade



[KingJB01234]

@KingJB01234 Stop trolling bitch

[anticholinergic09]

@KingJB01234 fuck

[MrHoop503]

7 year old Street Baller Vs 11 year AND1 player

[runners56]

I saw this commercial back in 2008, and it still gives me the chills, awsome commercial , great singer, thumbs up tyeam USA.

[hahaitsu1]

KG needs to be on team usa. they have enough offense but they lack the defensive interior at PF (they only have howard at center). plus KG is a mega piss off to other teams

[KdDevil14]

Rondo is a better PG than Rose , and I'd love it if AI returns :D

[KdDevil14]

'll edit @GTribb23 s team :

PG : Rajan Rondo

SG : Derrik Rose / Dwyane Wade / Kobe

SF : LeBron James

PF : Kevin Durant / Kevin Garnet

C : Dwight Howard

[levi213]

THUMBS DOWN. Greatest U.S. National Anthem EVER. Nike is trying to glorify thesee hundred million dollar NBA players as national sybolms by assosiating them with this sacred song. They ought to be showing our Marines and other troops who are the real hereos; not these guys. They have little to absolutely no idea what true sacrifice to their country means, and then Nike does this. This crap makes me cringe.

[MsGangstaSwagga]

So beautiful , thanks.

[dmoneygetme]

I think my song help make a great commercial!!! Check it out and let me know...

[meccaman24]

Thumbs up if you're watching this on the 4th of july!

[shafwann]

wow kobe is passing

[TheNba2KBeast]

best 2012 USA team

PG: Chris Paul (Better team player than Rose)

SG: Dwyane Wade

SF: Kevin Durant

PF: Lebron James

C: Dwight Howard

[PeroStinson]

@GTribb23 Kobe is one of the best players of all time but... in 2012... he will not be in the starting 5 because Dwyane Wade is the best SG in the league right now

[SOCRATES012]

@PeroStinson get that shit outta your head fool. Kobe's in another GALAXY to the better half of the choke n poke each others bumholes til we win not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7, not 8.......shoulda stayed at the cavs fool

[od3123]

@PeroStinson you are tripping kobe is a dog on the court

[razkable]

@PeroStinson You got that right wade was the mvp of this usa redeem dream team 2 and leading scorer too dontforget he redefined himself after the injury in 07 durring these games and showed once again time after time he is the best player and most elite in the league and the second greatest shooting guard ever after michael jordan hell yeah he will be starting at the shooting guard spot with james howard bosh and chris paul thats going to be the line up and their going win by 30 plus every game

[Bengalinigga0804]

@PeroStinson they could just have d wade as pg

[NukeMcNeil3]

@PeroStinson Thank U



[Matiss2428]

@PeroStinson Don't Forget who was starting the PG in the last olympics although he clearly wasn't the best PG at that moment anymore. So that doesn't mean anything!

[colossalko]

@Matiss2428 Dwade played better than Lebron AND Kobe in 2008 olympics. Coming off the bench out scoring kobe and scoring almost as much as lebron with noticeably fewer minutes than both.

[mahg400]

@PeroStinson go get a brain men.....wade will NEVER be better than kobe

[chefdizzy1]

@mahg400 Agreed! And Kobe will NEVER be better than Jordan... yet, people still compare them! UNREAL!

[dragonfate1]

@mahg400 Why is this so common sense? Because the media mentions Kobe all the time as opposed to Wade? Look at their season and post-season statistics, along with the intangibles that Wade brings to the table. Wade has historically dominated Kobe in head-to-head match-ups as well. You might want to start thinking for yourself, and quit letting the media love for Kobe get in your head. These are the same people who proclaimed Lebron James a King, so you see how fickle their opinions are.

[mahg400]

@dragonfate1 I believe that stats dont tell al the truth.I dont live in the usa, but the cable has basketball matches and i have seen matches of lakers against miami, agaisnt other teams and miami agaisnt other teams. I think kobe is way more decisive and clutch than wade, has better shot, and in lay-ups are like even.Wade now dunks better than kobe but kobe in his prime dunked better than wade.I liked both players, Wade is an outstanding player too, but kobe is better.

[doomy88kent]

@mahg400 man*

not men

[actionfigure87]

@mahg400 NEVER.

[johnyringoz]

@mahg400

Everytime this gets brought up, I just mention Michael Jordan.

Everyone shuts up & bows their head.

Greatest player of all time. Period.

[MrAndrewaaa]

@mahg400 he already is

[Matser85]

@mahg400 and kobe will never be better then Jordan so stop daydreaming

[joserPLAM]

@PeroStinson if that was the case then cp3 or d-will wudda been starting over jkidd in beijing08.

kobe will start

[Hotimpulse]

@PeroStinson niqqa pleeease....*facepalm*

[christianbarrientos]

@PeroStinson

YOU KIDDING ME ?!?!? sure kobe is getting bit old, but when jordan was on his 30's no one was stoping him?!? get the heck out of here ... Kobe is still the best SG in the league not to mention best player right now.

[Laidx]

@PeroStinson Yeah D-Wade is a better SG right now, no doubt about it but who has more experience on that US team than Kobe ? Trust me, Kobe will start.

[yungandthuggin1]

Look at lebron bitch ass

[cmbuvi92]

134 illegal immigrants watched this

[latinojerk305usa]

Dwade over Drose thoe hes way better

[latinojerk305usa]

Proud to be an American!!

[MurvMuzik]

love basketball and all, but damn! Marvin Gaye is the true star!

[kaitareena]

how about dwyane wade?

[7777777marko]

@GTribb23

no way thay CAN play together!

but thay are certainly best players on world

[Humanrightsforall1]

The USA/NBA basketball team entering the Olympics is like Mexico entering the world sombrero making contest. Well done you guys, you must be so proud. It’s a shame they don’t have Rodeo in the Olympics too.

[gabepizza]

@Humanrightsforall1 Well they lost in 2004 so it is not a done deal.

[MrLaoshi22]

2012 USA Team

[Swagger450]

[FLASH23ist]

@johnsonfamily2323 lebron first in my book

[gabepizza]

@johnsonfamily2323 Griffin isn't on the team

[crazybluedevil4]

@sexyahmed23 i can see that, but you have one of, if not the most beautiful national anthem in the world. i appreciate your respect for our nation anthem, as i have the highest respect for yours sir

[GTribb23]

2012 USA team

PG: Derrick Rose

SG: Kobe Bryant

SF: LeBron James

PF: Kevin Durant

C: Dwight Howard

[carlo09kaloy]

@GTribb23 coach k and assistant coach jkidd lol :P

[Wizzysays]

@GTribb23 kobe ?? really?

[FakeElmoTalks]

@GTribb23 first of all i agree but kevin durant is a sf

[gabepizza]

@FakeElmoTalks FIBA play the USA goes small to use it's speed. In 2010 they had Durant and Iguodala as the forwards and Odom as the center. In 2008 they had Anthony and James as the forwards.

[eznoob1v1]

@GTribb23 Kevin Durant as SG instead of Kobe and Griffin as PF ... done

[94beboo]

@eznoob1v1 Blake Griffin???? No way.

[gabepizza]

@eznoob1v1 Griffin is not on the team

[mufidreaver]

@GTribb23 why Kobe, why not D Wade?

[gabepizza]

@GTribb23 Agreed-back-ups

PG: Paul

SG: Wade

SF: Anthony

PF: Stoudimire

C: Bosh

bench: Westbrook, Chandler

[FirstAwesomeGamer]

@GTribb23 love derrick rose, but steve nash is a better PG.

[warraw39]

@FirstAwesomeGamer if S.Nash play it will be for team canada

[CollinLaw777]

@FirstAwesomeGamer

but hes not american, i would have to agree with you though, in his prime steve was better than derrick is. and he still is probably the best passer in the nba, but its negotiable with chris paul in there

[DW3Southpaw]

@GTribb23 Right. Derrick Rose over Dwyane Wade. Right.

[unchainp]

@GTribb23 KD on powerfoward ??



[BankruptIrish]

@GTribb23 Kevin Durant as a 4? ....do u watch basketball at all? If anything it would be LeBron at the 4 and Durant can run the 3

[2kChamp1]

@BankruptIrish do you even watch basketball...... if you did you will have know they play small in the Olympic basketball why u think lamar odom played C last year .

[Meskhinas]

@GTribb23 and wheres D-Wade?

[dogalicious123456]

@GTribb23 PF: Blake Griffin

[MrKidkapri]

@GTribb23 First coach K isnt starting Durant. Lebron plays the 4 while he sticks melo at the 3. -.-

[lakerdynasty22]

i'll add the subs

PG: Chris Paul

SG: Dwayne Wade

SF: Carmelo Anthony

PF: Kevin Love

C: Chris Bosh

PG: Russell WestBrook

SG: Steph Curry



[razkable]

@GTribb23 Hell no D. wade Flash over number Hasnt been good since old ass wearing 8!!!!!!

[cagefighterish]

@GTribb23 naww powerforward kevin garnett or amare stoudemire everything else is perfect tho!

[ricky23flm]

@GTribb23 i like how you think. premier scores. but it's debatable between rondo and rose but rondo has championship experience so id go with him. have D-Wade start and kobe be the finisher. Durant can't handle down low so go with amare My 2012 USA Team PG: Rajon Rondo SG: Dwyane Wade SF: Lebron James PF: Amar'e Stoudemire C: Dwight Howard Back Up aka Bench PG: Derrick Rose SG: Kobe Bryant SF: Kevin Durant PF: Blake Griffin C: Andrew Bynum

[colossalko]

@GTribb23 Dwade is gonna start. He was the best player on 2008 team

[Cyrusislikeawsome]

@GTribb23 thats whats gunna happen but AT THE MOMENT wade is better than kobe

[ddogboy]

@GTribb23 Derrick rose shouldnt start this isnt an allstar game the best pg should be starting and thats Chris Paul

[IonicBaller11]

That'z the Dream Team Right Thur! c(;

[iamurdaddy8]

like if u want this to be the 2012 USA team

PG- dwayne wade

SG- kobe bryant

SF- lebron james

PF- kevin durant

C- dwight howard

[ojcab13]

@iamurdaddy8 what?! Kevin Durant for PF? he's probably too thin..but I think maybe Lebron James might be a better pick for the PF position...

[iamurdaddy8]

@ojcab13 i knew someone was gonna say that but that nigga is to beast and post up isnt as used in international games so he wont have to much problems.. and i think he deserves it haha

[what4617]

Its like watching the AVENGERS

[lolzie]

i miss melo's braids...

great vid too.

[slim5poppa]

its hard to say who would win out of the dream team and the redeem team the dream team players played in a time where the game was alot more physical but the redeem players are playing in a time wher eplayers are naturally bigger and more athletic and faster ...(steriods in our food these days)

[monstergreen79]

There's only ONE Dream Team ... It was in 1992, there is no other team like that and there will never be. (and If a simple video makes you want to change your nationality, you have no respect for your country, and that SUCKS!)

[MJRiley878]

@monstergreen79 This team would destroy the dream team

[monstergreen79]

@MJRiley878 How old are you????

[MJRiley878]

@monstergreen79 22

[monstergreen79]

@MJRiley878 That's why you don't know the DREAM TEAM ... anyway, nice to meet you and both teams are really gr8!!!

[MJRiley878]

@monstergreen79 yea i know they are both great thats why they are team USA

[dolfan73]

@MJRiley878 you have got to be shittin' me.....

[MJRiley878]

@dolfan73 dude it was a joke calm down....it would be a good game though

[realFourZeroTwo]

Still gives me chills...

[MrBrainiac25]

[Yesnog05]

I'd have to say that was the best 2:31 minute commercial I've ever spent.
