There's never enough Timmy in these Adidas commercials.
'The Run'
Magic's Howard shines in adidas' private NBA pickup game
posted by Kyle Hightower
Ever wondered what happens when you get six NBA stars on a court for a pickup game and cameras just happen to be in the room?
Well, NBA shoe and apparel partner adidas has you covered.
The adidas folks were gracious enough to pass along a video of NBA stars and adidas endorsers Dwight Howard, Kevin Garnett, Chauncey Billups, Tracy McGrady, Tim Duncan, Josh Smith and others on a pick-up game run in a gym on the campus of UCLA back in July. While they certainly are all appearing together because of their endorsement affiliations, it is interesting to point out that KG and Billups to actually train at the same facility in the offseason.
And in case you don’t remember, the NBA and adidas announced an 11-year partnership back in 2006 that is believed to be in excess of $400 million and replaced the 10-year deal that Reebok negotiated with the league in 2001. (Reebok had been acquired by adidas earlier that same year.)
Besides some decent basketball moments in this video (which I’m sure will be hitting the airwaves in commercial form this upcoming season), there is plenty of comedic value as well. Most notably the sideline banter between Howard and Garnett as D-12 tries to get his reigning NBA champion counterpart to hop on the “Superman” bandwagon.
Howard: “They don’t even call me Dwight anymore, everybody calls me Superman.”
KG: “I’m gonna call your (bleep) Dwight.”
Classic stuff.
Also love the Billups line to Garnett at the beginning: “Stay ready you ain’t gotta get ready.”
Who thinks that might be on a T-shirt this season?
Anyway, enough talk. Enjoy:

nice...TD with the game winner and i like 'Supaman...it's on YOUUUU...'
Game winner, its on Tiiiiiiimmmmmmmmmmmm
Timmy with the fade away jay!!!
I agree, but I'll take what I can get. At least he's in them.
That jumper was pretty.
Tim duncan almost shot another 3
Jordan Farmar has ridiculous hops. Draftexpress says his max vertical is 42 inches.
I think it's also amusing in a video clip like that, "Superman" gets blocked twice.
did T-Mac even speak? i forgot for a while that he was in Adidas.
There was like one thing showing Tim, lame. But it fits him so well..
quiet yet delivers in clutch time.
Wasn't Gilbert Arenas one of the main 5ive guys initially? I think they traded him in for Dwight Howard. Smart move, Adidas.
Arenas was in the 5 campaign. And Arenas and Howard were both part of adidas "Basketball Is A Brotherhood" campaign last year. I don't know if Arenas is still part of it.
haha... love the commercial.
Was it Duncan who yelled, "Game" before he shot it?
Wow look at jordan farmar mang...
jordan farmar with all the major stars on the same team.
can i say that even adidas thinks that jordan can become a star as well?
look at his hops, his passes, his at ude.
give him time to play with our talented starters, and he will become better
than rajon rondo.
watch out, he be the next big thanggg mannnggg~!
KG would be a cool guy to hang with, even though hes all fake tough on the court, he seems like a funny down to earth guy off the court.
TD says "game", baby.
Yes.
And he's wearing his shorts backwards.
Game.
They don't show alot of Timmy until the end...at first, I was thinking that tall dude in the background kinda looks like Duncan.There's never enough Timmy in these Adidas commercials.
Whot? I gotta go watch that vid again.
I think he has a better overall game and yah, he got some major hops.
Personally, I would invite them to put Farmar in the game. Vujacic is a better player, imo. He is a , yes... but better.
KG has a British accent IRL.
