Nike Basketball MVP’s Kobe & LeBron Lil Dez Commercial

by Eugene Kan, May 30, 2009

In an ongoing series of Nike Basketball commercials, two of the NBA’s greatest players are the focus of the “MVP’s Kobe & LeBron” campaign which features puppet versions of roommates Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. Having spanned a few different episodes, this latest one involves LeBron and Kobe playing babysitter for “Lil Dez” who has more than a few questions regarding both MVPs. Quickly becoming a nuisance with his constant chatter, only one thing at hand leaves Lil Dez speechless and and on the verge of an asthma attack.
