Ball Don't Lie - NBA

I would normally apologize for posting back-to-back LeBron vids, but hey, let's be honest, today feels like a Friday for most of you reading along. So unloosen that tie, champ. Your boss already flew home to Wichita.

This Thanksgiving Nike will debut its latest LeBron commercial. The new spot, called "Chalk", draws its inspiration from The King's pre-game talcum powder toss. Keep an eye out for the multiple cameos.

According to NiceKicks.com, the ad will begin airing tomorrow during the nationally televised NFL games. It will run on major networks and cable channels including ESPN, ABC, FOX, CBS, BET and MTV.

So what do you think? Love it? Hate it? Wish it had Nicole in it? Sound off.

    I don't get it, Lebron stole his whole chalk in the air bit from Garnett, who'd been doing it for years.
    Why doesn't anybody ever mention this?

    We all know LeBron isn't the first to do it. And we know Michael Jordan did it first, but some people here are too young to have seen Jordan in his prime. Don't hate.

    "I must be LeBron James if he's Jordan
    No, I won rings for my performance,

    ^ gotta disagree. true, many others have done it, but lebron did not make it a spectacle. KG did in minnesota.
    in fact, he's already had commercials with the chalk thing.

    who cares if he throws up chalk, copyin or not copyin. lebrons hell of a baller, when you can throw down a dunk from the free throw line wit ease...especially in a game....shootz...he can do whateverz and it would still look dope.
