Can someone tell me why Garnett gets so much love from Adidas? He has never won jack shit as a matter of fact his team is never even in the playoffs anymore. When i look at the all star voting he only beats out Tim by a little bit every year. Why does Adidas seem to feel he is more marketable than Timmy? Garnett has never struck me as Mr. Personality either if that is their reason.

[Man In Black]

Tim is to the left...If the Camera pans back on the other side none other than KG.

The Luxor Pyramid has a huge Adidas graphic on it featuring KG & Dwight Howard.
Mandalay Bay has a huge graphic that features a sidekick designed by DWade.

Adidas is everywhere. I'll be on the strip tomorrow with my brother. Good Times!!!

[milkyway21]

this is the first time Adidas is sponsoring the jerseys and all, right? Not bad for TD/KG /TMac and all Adidas NBA stars.

[dbreiden83080]

I know that AD is dumb they should have used Timmy and the other guys a lot more. Another thing it is not even like KG plays in a huge market and Timmy does not they both play in small markets. What is the major difference between the two. Timmy is one of the great winning players in the history of the league and KG is one of it's great underachievers.

[Man In Black]

The major difference is that TD doesn't want the extra attention. If Tim isn't as famous as Shaq, it's because he doesn't want to be. Other than an extra title, Shaq hasn't accomplished as much as TD basketball wise.

None of that explains the extra love KG gets from adidas when they are both affiliated with that brand.

[SoCalSpursFan]

KG is a much more marketable personality. Not even close.

[dbreiden83080]

KG is a much more marketable personality. Not even close.

How so i don't find him exciting in the least bit? Nor do i see any overwhelming proof that KG is by far the more popular player than TD.

[Kermit]

thank you. tim has the personality of a warm turd. that's why he doesn't get the love.

[milkyway21]

may i ask why Kobe's wearing #24 and not #8?

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000N1Z93O.01-AT26F6GZJEB06._SCMZZZZZZZ_V45808007_.jpg

BTW, in as much as i like Wade(i bet for him to win last yr in the Skills Challenge),I want Kobe to win in this event this yr. So, has both the SlamDunk and Skills Challenge trophies.
I wish Brent has the same fate-Slamdunk and a chance in the 3pt shoot-out but what can i say? nobody's looking in SA's direction...

KG has a flashier game than TD, more akin to streetball w/c is the market Adidas is targeting

thanks Sabar for answering my question. I didn't know, actually. :D

[SoCalSpursFan]

Well, ALSO just in case you didn't know, Bush is still president, Anna Nicole Smith died, and the Colts won the super bowl. :p:

[mffl89]

If Duncan gets #21, what does KG get?

[Texas_Ranger]

21.

you should see what nike is doing with my posters and ads

[steppy]

Does it have anything to do with a black mamba?

[VaSpursFan]

adidas has the license for all NBA related apparel this year...in past years it's been nike, puma, etc.

[judaspriestess]

That image is soooo cool. There are lots of billboards all over town here in Vegas showcasing the All Star game with Timmy on them.

Can you post any pictures of them? Thanks!

[Brutalis]

Is there a clear blown up picture of that?

It's flat out respect folks... one of the best ever.

Except to diehard Spurs fans, residents of the Virgin Islands, basketball coaches, and fundamentals junkies, KG is much, much more marketable than TD.

[Tigole Bitties]

Where's the picture of the Sean Marks and Andrew Gaze banners promoting the "Thunder From Down Under" all-male revue from the Excalibur casino?

Or John Amaechi banner in front of Bally's for "Jubilee!"? :)

[dbreiden83080]

Again where is the proof of that KG only gets a little more love than Timmy in terms of fan votes every year at the all star game but is still voted in by the fans. Timmy sells more jerseys than KG last check Tim is at #15 KG did not even make the list. I just don't see KG being more marketable or more popular. I also don't find his game more flashy either. KG pretty much spends 40 min a night shooting fadeway jump shots.

[lovespurs forever]

01all star and 06 all star
TD is the starer.

[Kori Ellis]

Why is this the best compliment ever?

[Mixability]

Why is this the best compliment ever?

I guess because we shouldn't expect them to actually use their high dollar athlete in their ads?

:spin

[SoCalSpursFan]

Duncan = Least Controversial

[milkyway21]

Well, ALSO just in case you didn't know, Bush is still president, Anna Nicole Smith died, and the Colts won the super bowl. :p:shut up, SoCalSpurFan :stfu !

That thing is huge, and it's Duncan on both sides of the ad. I think it's Mandalay Bay. On the other side of the street is New York New York's Statue of Liberty in a Shaq jersey. One of the casinos (I think it was Mandalay Bay) also had Tony Parker posters all over the main entrance.

He yells like he just busted a nut after every dunk.

[Agloco]

thank you. tim has the personality of a warm turd. that's why he doesn't get the love.


I wasn't aware that there were different levels of "turdiness".......

So by your definition Barry Bonds has the personality of a cold turd, or do I not have my turds straight? :lol :lol :lol
