Not unless they spent all night and day filming him. Remember that David Beckham ad a while back when he was playing a round of golf using a football? It took hours to get that right. There's just no way he'd make every shot in one take.

Those "home boys" are from a different planet.....

Do you remember when Vince Carter dunked well above the head of 7feet 6 inches french player in the Sydney Olympics basketball match between the U.S and France?

The NBA All Star Game, really showed up the difference between the "homies" and "da white boys" - especially when it came to the Dunk contest. The only white guy in the contest took about 10 tries before he could complete the "alley oop"....it was embarassing.....and all the more so when you picked up the comments from the "homies" on the sidelines telling everyone who would listen that "dem white boys got no game!"

Genetics........talent, desire and emulation, spur those home boys to great heights...

The first time I saw that ad I just sat there in appreciative disbelief. But, after much deliberation I decided that next time I would watch with a more critical eye ... and I discovered that during every shot the ball leaves the top of the frame for a split second before reappearing to fall into the basket. It seems to me that if the shot were genuine the camera would follow the ball for the entire time. Not to take anything away from Mr. James of course.

sorry all I get is turkish television and bad television at that. What is this commercial about? Is it like the commercial where Micheal Vick threw a football from one end zone through the uprights of the opposite goal into the upper decks of the stadium?

I have no interest in basketball and didn't know who he was. I asked an american friend last night and I got a 1 hour diatribe about him.( he thinks he is going to be the new Jordan(michael that is not the busty one)) incidently he reckons the ad is bs.
