Things I learned from the following Nike ad for Yi:
– wearing bandannas means you’re: uber kewl new skool!
– ditto for headband
– a jumpy hip-hop-y beat makes the world a happier place
– crossing your arms in front of your opponents as they inbound means you’ve officially beaten them… and you shall receive their women soon
In short, damn that commercial was dumb. And I’m talking about what Nike’s idea people were trying to do: showing us how Yi is “hip hop” and “shiny new” and amazing baller as supposed to the boring old guys. But the problem is: the other team is so much better! They run better plays (see guy running a back cut) and shoot better from the outside.
Yi’s team however, do lame-o Jason Williams circa Sacramento Kings behind the back passes that for some reason rile up the crowd… I guess the And1 mixtape is still being shipped there.
Also, what is up with the bandanna guy? Look at his reaction around the 0:38 mark (or 0:22 in reverse) What does that even mean?

Yi, the 19 year old (or 25 year old—no one knows, not even Greg Oden, and he knows everything) is now notorious because of his “camp” not wanting to report for the Milwaukee Bucks, who drafted him. What is the Word on the Streetz with random folks on this hottly hot issue?
