Jordan XXI Commercial

by **Abctest123** on Thu Mar 23, 2006 1:35 pm

Alright, by now, I believe pretty much everyone has seen this commercial (the commercial is like 1-2 months old). If not, the commercial is a few youngsters redo some of Jordan's signature moves (ie. his crossover on Russell, one hand fake, etc.) and finishing with a kid doing "the shrug" and looking at jordan on the sidelines. the reason i made this thread is not to just talk about this commercial, but i also have the link to the ad split screen, with one half of the screen with the ad, and the other half is the actual Jordan moment. After seeing this, you'll see how amazingly done this ad was. Not to mention this ad made me a little nostalgic :cry:

, of showing how great Michael was.

Yea I seen the half-sided one a few weeks ago. It's amazing how they had it all down pat as far the players moving in the background and everything. When I saw the original commercial, I didn't think it was would be that detailed. Wish I could've been in the commercial and got some free Jordan stuff :lol:

This brought a tear to my eye.

I saw this on TV. It's really well done, although at first I was confused.

its a simple but honestly a great well constructed/thought of ad 1 of the best i have seen.

by **cklitsie** on Thu Mar 23, 2006 8:56 pm

Yeah I really like this one too.
Plus it's on nba.com before the highlights and it's only 00:16 instead of like the 00:30 of other annoying ads, so that's (Y)

.
Another good one is the Gatorade one where MJ actually misses "The Shot" over Craig Ehlo.
I guess MJ as actor = good commercial. :mrgreen:

Maybe it's just me, but I found it really freaky. Almost disturbing. It's like these kids are being possessed with Jordan's demon or brainwashed through countless hours of watching Jordan nostalgia.

i don't what it is, but even though Jordan's not in the game anymore, he still has the best commercials

Cy I think you need to seek therapy.

The ad was absolutely amazing, I never realized how realistic the scenes were when compared to the actual moments. I also like the Gatorade one where Jordan misses the shot, the Yankees miss the tag on Giambi and Dwight Clark misses the catch.

It's a cleverly shot ad... I read an article on ESPN about this and watched the ad to make sense of the article. Someone said they were confused with the start of it: it was meant to confuse for a moment cause the viewer is supposed to think, 'Wait a sec, i seen this all before'

The report also wrote how the kids in the advert had to do the Jordan moves as Jordan-like as they could. Not as perfect as they could but it had to be in the flow of the game...

despite not being a huge fan of Jordan, I still like this commercial. (Y)

by **blackverbil** on Tue Mar 28, 2006 3:13 pm

twas great. Jordan always comes off as the most mature man on earth. Commercial, interview and playing. And pricks actually have the gaulls to say kobe has erased MJ from history really makes me homicidal

You saying that the little short kid actually did that free throw line dunk? Unbelievable.

yeah, and the layup and the awesome rock the cradle? dayyuuuumm

That commercial made me feel warm and fuzzy. Made me reminisce when Jordan was still "the man".

About the Ad

by **-BHZMAFIA-** on Sat Apr 01, 2006 1:43 pm

They basically had them do it, but did computer editing. The lay-up was most likely edited, the cradle dunk was edited along with the FT line dunk. The rest of it was pretty much real.
