this is a blatant rip-off of something kevin garnett has been doing for years…
way before lj graced us with his presence in the league…

and truth be told, i think kg got idea from a smaller less blatant ritual mj had of “dusting” Johnny Red Kerr at the announcers table before every home game in the old united center…

that said, it was kg who made it a spectacle for the crowd and part of his pregame…

i'm actually shocked that nike and “the king” ripped him off so blatantly…

so i have to disagree…
if you know anything about basketball, this shows that nike absolutely doesn't get it.
and neither does lebron if he can't come up with his own thing…
(mj had plenty of his own things… the shorts… the spread dunk.. the tongue!!)

if you disagree… well…
you are either a king james fan boy… from cleveland.. or not a serious basketball fan…

Those places are used because you wouldn't question white powder in those locations as being anything else other than flour and chalk. They've used those locations in a desperate attempt to convince you it's not cocaine in their advert. “The chalk thrown in the donut shop (a central meeting place for the working man) and the barbershop (a central meeting place for the urban community) shows that Nike understands the communities that their target audience lives in.”

Nonsense – you're reading too much into that. Those places are used because you wouldn't question white powder in those locations as being anything else other than flour and chalk. They've used those locations in a desperate attempt to convince you it's not cocaine in their advert.

Does it signify that it's ok for old men to use cocaine. Does Nike even care about old people? I would like to know his story.
