Nike has found a hit with these Kobe vs. Lebron muppet/puppet commercials, and like we have come to expect from the Nike machine, they are pumping them out at an alarmingly quick rate. Do these commercials remind anyone else of the Bert and Ernie skits from Sesame Street? Just like everyone who asked themselves this question about Bert and Ernie on Sesame Street after they grew up, I will ask about these commercials, ‘why are Kobe and Lebron living together?’
Before I digress too much, let me say that this commercial leaves you with a lot more unanswered questions about a dual of these too stars. Personally i’m still curious who would win a one-on-one battle between Kobe and Lebron. As far as this commercial is concerned, it looked like Kobe might have been getting the better of Lebron, that is until Mrs. Lewis called. Crafty move young James, crafty move:
