Josh Smith Commercial – Behind-the-Scenes Footage (VIDEO)

When Josh Smith and I talked at Philips Arena over the summer, it was a little bit before the Joe-Johnson-to-Brooklyn bombshell became public. So, instead of a powwow about the shocking trade, we talked shoes—specifically the adizero Ghost 2, a slick, lightweight sneaker that J-Smooth is the face of this season. When we got finished with the thorough chat (read the full story here), Josh ran on to the court to film another scene for the new Ghost 2 commercial. In the following behind-the-scenes footage from the set, you’ll see a lot of dribbling and even more standing around. Thankfully, it all comes together nicely in a sleek final ad that speaks to how the heaviness of a city’s expectations is combated by the lightness of this shoe.—DeMarco Williams
