LeBron James, Brace Yourself, First Love, Commercial
January 12th, 2009 | by Ethan Jaynes |LeBron James, Brace Yourself, First Love, Commercial. I think we can all agree that this commercial is pretty awesome, and that it is a pretty good marketing campaign. What is it for, and what is his first love? I am 95% sure that it has something to do with shoes/Nike. They always have the best commercials, and there is a ton of money to be made in shoes. Michael Jordan’s new shoe just came out, and this commercial alludes to the MJ retiring for baseball press conferences. Leave a comment with what you think.
It is obvious that they got the idea for a suspenseful ad campaign from the very successful “What’s G” Gatorade commercials. I hope more companies do this kind of stuff.

I would like to agree, but Nike/Lebron literally JUST released a new shoe with the powder silhouette on the tongue like 5 weeks ago!

He could be talking about going back to football since that is what he started out doing and it was his “first love”

See http://lebron2010.com/?p=420. Sources are saying it’s a State Farm commercial. Surprising, it looks more like Nike at the moment.

He’s signing a new deal with Cleveland and the 2010 crap will be over???

He’s going to follow his first love which is Football to Tampa Bay where the superbowl is at and the only card that will get him there will be either Visa or American Express. That’s my guess…

My guess is that Lebron is in a dream where he’s announcing that he’s gonna follow his first love and play in the NFL. Then he wakes up…

It’s definitely a State Farm commercial. Good advertising plan. Seems like they got a lot of hype for it.

At 6′9″ and 270 and the fastest guy in the NBA from baseline to baseline, the Browns should be the ones dreaming King James shows up wearing seal brown & orange.

My thought is he is announcing that he is entering the slam dunk contest for the All Star game??

Now why would he wanna go and ruin his name/career by playing for the Browns, aka one of the saddest franchises in the NFL outside of only the Lions and Raiders
