By now, we've all seen the "Kobe jumping over an Aston-Martin" video. Sure, it was a good video, and sure people are still convinced that Kobe actually jumped over a speeding car, but I've found one of the coolest (for lack of a better word) commercial/spots I've seen in a long time.
I don't know the deal with the airing of the spots, but they've been around for a few months. I may have just missed it, but I was shocked to find these works of art on KB24.com. I can't believe this got past me.
It's a part of the Nike Zoom Kobe III campaign, titled "Geniuses." There are five different commercials featuring Kobe dressed up as DaVinci, Mozart, Einstein, and George Washington Carver. My understanding is that it's a web exclusive, so that may explain why they've gone under the radar... but I'm still tripping out on why I missed this.
well, my apologies Sizzle. It turns out that I hang around the news-oriented Lakers sources more often than others. I'm not necessarily a frequent visitor to KB24.com.
The videos were released on February 6th, so no, they haven't been around all season. I hadn't heard anything about them until I saw clips in a report from Elie Seckbach.
The videos only have between 2,000 and 26,000 views on youtube, compared to the 2,000,000 + that the Aston Martin video has.
Anyways, I've been covering the Lakers on here rather comprehensibly all season... I don't think my "membership to the club" is in peril.
Thanks for stopping by though.

I'm a realistic observer of the vast world that surrounds the Los Angeles Lakers. You can thank Nick Van Exel, Eddie Jones, Elden Campbell, Cedric Ceballos, and Vlade Divac for making that possible. The greatest person of all time is Francis Dayle "Chick" Hearn. There's no getting around that. Me? I'm eighteen years old and working my way to a journalism degree.
