Michael Jordan "Become Legendary #3" Nike Commercial

[killertone83]

Lol I thought this commercial was about transitioning from a boy to a man... I'm tired man and u steering me in the wrong directions is only wasting my time, I have paid every bill u put in my face, I was serious about doing this

[killertone83]

How many mc's must I defeat!

[lshocket]

From the June 30 2008 edition of SI "How Dreams Die." Just as inspirational, especially if you're going through an injury.

Today is a new day, a new beginning.

It has been given to me as a gift.

I can either use it or throw it away.

What I do today will affect me tomorrow.

I cannot blame anyone but myself if I do not succeed.

I promise to use this day to the fullest by giving my best, realizing it can never come back again.

This is my life and I choose to make it a success.

[AndreRulesTheWorld]

@lshocket dealing with a bad ankle sprain myself. thanks for this

[mariusinho7]

GREAT COMMERCIAL, NO COMMENT, TELLS EVERYTHING!!!

[aquilarealm]

type "short guy dunks" in the youtube search box to see a 5ft 5in guy dunking a 10ft hoop

[dimetriuspricop]

@aquilarealm is he black? cuz that would explain everything

[Surevar1988]

there are no cinderellas, they never were.

[Caron3Butler]

talks of Kobe and Bron being better than Jordan have been dying down recently, have you noticed?

[upabittoolate]

@Caron3Butler That conversation has always been dead.

[belairdfence99]

sends good chills down my spine

[420sumthing]

this gives me the chills..

[Threeguysnamedmoe]

1 person won't become legendary

[tarpdalton]

0:39 gives me goosebumps every time.

[blackeejackee]

@tarpdalton why is that?

[tarpdalton]

@blackeejackee watch the video "3 Plays That Shocked The World, 2007 Fiesta Bowl"

[carlofos]

JORDAN = G.O.A.T.

[jpbernie72]

No words, 12 chimes of the church bell, hard work til the early hours, classic moments and a powerful message. This is the greatest commercial ever made!

[jpbernie72]

[mabrow1985]

there's no such thing as cinderella teams... YOU may not know them at the start, but they're working 24/7 so that you know them at the finish

[StephenMU19]

There are Cinderellas to the public...but there are not Cinderellas to the coaches and hard working athletes if that makes sense.

[StephenMU19]

Fucking quality!

[emotaco9]

Appalachian!!

[jddawg33]

cinderella team = the underdog, the team that people think won't succeed

[BennduR]

yeah but he's referencing the fact that cinderalla had to go home at 12:00... lol

[The901112]

guys what is cinderellas ?

[ciscaos]

Cinderella is a character of a story in which she has to come back home at midnight because of a witchcraft. In this commercial, "there are no cinderellas" is a word game, considering the scene of the clock that strikes the 12:00 pm...it means that you can't stop training only because it's too late.

[iRepPinoy]

Nice meanign thanks bro.

[0Shane13]

Cinderella is someone, a disadvantaged someone, that finds success by luck or good fortune or a fairy godmother and not by hard work, dedication...blood sweat tears.

[Mooky4ever]

HE came from a small town/middle school/highschool. I know unc is huge university

[Mooky4ever]

Michael Jordan is in the Hall of Fame

Notice that 99% of all great athletes come from small schools.

[BIGHACK18]

MJ came from UNC that is not a small school?

[fleiteae]

he went to north carolina...

[Mooky4ever]

UNC= UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA

[myfriendstephan]

also means app state worked there tails off.

It paid off as they went in the big house and won. When nobody thought they would but themselves.

[berrysanders123]

I don't get this one

[ARtIK1A]

Means there is no magic spell that can turn u into a legend, its all the hard work and practice that makes u who u are.... :) Jordan n Melo #1

[ander211000]

@ARtIK1A Melo?!Nah....

[kklol7]

All of those clips were "Cinderella Stories."

Cinderella Stories are generally teams from small schools, or schools that are generally not seen as "sports schools" challenging the usual "powerhouses" of sports.

Like the footage that the guys were watching in the locker room, it was footage of NCState winning the NCAAM Basketball Championship, probably the most famous Cinderella Story in College sports.

[pacers721]

i lot of these commercials have the same theme: glory and success requires grueling hard work

[grubatomek]

awesome, my fav!

[Somarated]

I think the definition of a "Cinderella" in terms of sports actually stands for teams that are underdogs that go on and beat teams that that they're not supposed to, (IE NY Giants 2008 NFL Playoffs beating a series of teams then the undefeated Patriots). This video shows that players such as CP3, MJ and those teams in the video are not actually Cinderellas because they train hard and commit long hours into practice (training at night), they're not flukes, hence THERE ARE NO CINDERELLAS.

[K7502466]

i agree with sam. this is saying that there are no cinderellas. there is no luck or magic. winning comes from hard work

[desblu2]

I agree with you

[kakamen98]

amazing!!!i love it..all these videos from become a legendary are great!!!

[SamMc2323]

You guys are all wrong... "there are no cinderellas" means that you don't have to stop what your doing at midnight... why do you think chris paul kept running?

[humper3000]

i thought there are no cinderelas means that nobody becomes amazing overnight and it takes lots of practice

[sebiDD7]

ya im pretty sure thts wht it means to

[TeamComedyBrothers]

wierd, but ok...

[TeamComedyBrothers]

ok, now i'm hooked on these commercials!

[gangsterbear1]

Paul's time will come. He's very young; I see him being the MVP of this league more than just one or two times.

[Marcussvg]

If you look and listen closely, the clock strikes 12, like in the movie Cinderella, meaning Cinderella's time is up.

[topspot19]

wow ur right

[1800hitman]

the basketball commercials are the best

[pippinthehobbit]

YEAH APP STATE!

[mwheeling7]

is that wait chapel in the beginning on wake's campus?

[spoon4613]

Too hard to tell.

[michaelsingh1992]

i think kobe and lebron are great players, amazeing players, i just get tired of people saying they're better then jordan or is going to be better then jordan. jordan is and will always be the greatest of all time

[Anteater711]

To all of you Kobe fans out there, let's see if the entire spectrum of U.S. sport (basketball, football, baseball, track, etc.) Will be influenced by Kobe's legend as they are by MJ's. I understand this is a very well thought out marketing agenda by nike, but it couldn't be possible if MJ's legend wasn't so extraordinary and out of this world. Michael Jordan is the G.O.A.T. and these motivational clips are articulations of his greatness, and it will indeed live forever. MJ FOR LIFE!

[Anteater711]

BTW, I'm only 21, and I got to see the latter half of Jordan's career (the second three-peat) as a kid. Living in LA, i got into fist fights with magic and laker fans because they were hating. MJ is my hero forever. Kobe fans should also notice how Kobe's entire game is shaped around MJ's, (except for the defense and exceptional passing) . And now with Lebron in the league, doing what he did against detriot last year, Kobe's star is slowly fading, and he won't win another title, MJ FOR LIFE!.

[HoopsAssasin]

Way to jump on the bandwagon back then Ant!

[paolomagma]

Kobe just won another title.

[bigask0001]

Hoya Paranoia is back.

[kagegao]

damn these commercials just keep gettin' better n better

[FeyRegy]

love them all :D
