OTRBasketball.com: Big Chief Triangle - Viewing Profile - OTRBasketball.com

I really don't understand the hype with these commercials.

Lebron isn't even a peer of Kobe's and has not accomplished half of what Kobe has.

Lebron is nowhere near any type of threat to the Lakers or Kobe's next ring

I just don't see the correlation or rivalry that Nike or the media is trying to start.

To me this is just a way to involve Lebron in some type of marketing but unfortunately Lebron hasn't done anything to deserve to be viewed as Kobe's rival.

Some players that I feel would be more appropriate would be Duncan then Garnett. These are the only two that even come close to being viewed as a rival or peer.

Personally I think Nike should do a commercial with two Kobe's playing against each other making each other better.

Everyone knows who TD AND KG are with. I'm just saying for the sake of the commercials to make sense. Not speaking from a marketing aspect at all. Not at all.

I'm speaking from an aspect that truly reflects the state of the game. Lebron isn't a rival of Kobe so he shouldn't be marketed like one. I just think it looks forced especially when Kobe is shining rings and Bron is looking for shoes or eating cookies.

One of the main things I notice is that the Kobe puppet doesn't reflect Kobe's true persona at all.

The more that I think about it I think if Nike was dead set on having a rival for Kobe it should be Melo.

Melo has played Kobe tough in the playoffs and they have a great relationship.

Melo is a little more focused and driven than what Bron is so the commercials would come off as more of a pending war than a Sesame Street rip-off
