After
prooving his streetball skills in the NBA, Nike
Basketball asked Jason Williams to take part in their Freestyle Commercial.
Just as the commercial starts, it reveals some top skilled dribbles. Vince
Carter, Rasheed Wallace, Paul Pierce, Lamar Odems, Darius Miles, & Baron
Davis, are not the only others showing there stuff but the only others from
the NBA. Mean while, Sheryl Swoopes, Dawn Staley, and Chamique Holdsclaw,
shread their stuff reppin' the WNBA. Also includes one of the top, and well-known
street ballers out there, Malloy "Future" Nesmith. Oh yes and
did we forget Luis DaSilva Jr. The guy that might be mistaken for Jason
Williams his self, he sort of is his own Jason in his own way. "To
really do your own thing." Luis says passionately. "you've gotta
have your own character, your own personality. And I feel like, with my
personality, I've added something to the game." I'ts hard to argue
with the one called "Trikz," the 19-year-old Garden State native
who unrivals rock wizardy as Jason dose. These are not all of the people
cast, but jus some of the ones i thought to mention.This commercial became wide-spread, and well know fast as it was first showed on public television during 99-01 all-star weeked. The commercial is not a series, nor a type of movie, but it has concluded two 3-part commercial.
It seems as though without the basketball beat, that the commercial would be nothing. And also it seems as if the basketball beat is real, but it actually was done by the legendaryAfrika Bambaataa and his man Steven "Boogie" Brown, two cool cats used their 20-plus years of music experince to craft the spot's sounds.
Thrilling enough, it almost seems that it cant get any better, and it feels as if somthing is missing. Although it has all the potentials of a great ball game (passing, dribbling, dunking, chicks), maybe somthing else is needed, somthing unthought of, somthing unreconized. Coaching? Yes its been heard that Phill Jackson will take part in the next advertisement, but don't expect to see him in a tuxcedio on the sideline in a chair, look for him in some shorts and on camera. This should be a site we all want to see.
