    Have the advertising guys at Nike lost their mind? Why on earth would they buy TV time to run that LeBron playoff commercial over and over and over when anyone that watches basketball knows that LeBron didn't even make the playoffs...I know they spent a lot of money on LBJ's endorsement contract but throwing good money after bad to remind everyone he has gone fishing is ridiculous...

    whats up with that TLong?

    People won't decide not to buy LeBron Nike gear just because LeBron is out of the playoffs.

    Maybe Nike thought that if they aired the ads during the Playoffs...those players would feel like they were actually there!

    Even though I know my head was turned towards the TV and my eyes were focused on the screen, my mind somehow has blanked any data recieved form watching the Lebron add, except that it sucked.

    I am not dissing LeBron, I'm dissing Nike...In fact I am sure that LeBron hates that commercial running during the playoffs and making him look like a pretender and not a contender...

    The ad time was probably bought well before the playoffs started. Nike probably gambled that LeBron would make it in the playoffs, but were wrong. Since the ad time is already bought the commercials were shown anyway.

    I think a better add would be showing the highlights of the game that's on. People would pay attention, and the add would really be aimed towards the viewers at hand.

    They spent a hundred million dollars on LeBron. They are going to show his commercials if he drops dead today.

    Lame as the Nike ads are, they are an order of magnitude better than the Reebok "I make other shoes look like dumbasses" ads.

    And how many basketball players does Nike have in their stable? They couldn't use that air time to run a playoff commercial about one of their endorsers that was actually playing in the playoffs?

    Lebron has only begun to saturate the media with his presence. Get used to it. The only thing larger in scale then Lebron's hype is his upside. He's the real deal. He's the Magic Johnson of this generation. Step away from the hate. You're going to look (even more) like a fool in a few years if you don't.

    I like the Boykins spot! I thought it was well done. He's certainly deserving of some exposure...Earl's got heart and game...how can you not root for him?

    Haters hate, I guess.

    Scratch that. It's simply too late for some.
