Video: Baron Davis Runs New York City


Funny, whenever we take to the Big Apple streets with a pigskin, we get different reactions (or, actually, none at all):

    I love Boom.

    Yo, that was a tight ad. Too bad those shoes are hideous. But, that little icon on the shoes and shirt is tight. Shoes are super ugly though, no Jay.

    I love BD … when he leaves this league it will be a sad day!!! Everyone needs to go watch soul in the hole!!
    Common WHAT!!!

  • Jackie Moon Posted: Jan.12 at 5:11 pm
    Nice video. Common’s handle looks a little suspect, he’s too upright when he dribbles.

  • underdog Posted: Jan.12 at 5:26 pm
    Great vid, but those kicks? Damn, they ugly.

  • GotHandles? Posted: Jan.12 at 6:07 pm
    that vid is illlll

  • Hursty Posted: Jan.12 at 6:27 pm
    That clip is sick. Love it.
    I thought the pigskin was an NFL ball? Never heard that for a basketball.

  • Rob Posted: Jan.12 at 7:06 pm
    I like this Kimbo Slice dude, he’s cool. I didn’t know he played basketball.

  • Z Posted: Jan.12 at 7:19 pm
    im so disappointed, ive heard war stories about common hooping in the chi as a highschooler. the handles are maaad suspect.

  • Sporting-Lisbon-Blazers Posted: Jan.12 at 8:16 pm
    that logo on bdiddy shirt is cool, the vid and the music also fresh

  • Blue Posted: Jan.12 at 8:39 pm
    J Dilla…nuff said

    I bought weed off those Chess Junkies and it was laced with meth. Hopefully BD didn’t do the same.

  • dwight Posted: Jan.12 at 9:31 pm
    good marketing add for his kicks. i agree the shoes are not very attractive but the T SHIRT LOGO is tight, i want one. good stuff Li ning

  • Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Jan.12 at 10:12 pm
    That’s one of the best sportswear Advertisements ever! Chinese, hip-hop, New York, Baron Davis, Common Sense, basketball.. Sounds like my kind of video!!!!!!!
    I don’t why people don’t like the shoes… I thought they were pretty nice. Especially that little face logo.

  • Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Jan.12 at 10:13 pm
    And two cats just chilling, playing Chess in the park?! Awesome!

  • Mo Money Bizzes Posted: Jan.12 at 11:31 pm
    Dilla and Diddy! FTW!!

  • thesubwayconnection Posted: Jan.13 at 12:41 am
    I’d be all over those shoes, especially in the Blue/Black.

  • Joey E. Posted: Jan.13 at 1:47 am
    love Baron. An L.A. guy myself, it’s nice seeing him play some all-star caliber bball again. dude’s been on fire lately.

  • D. Posted: Jan.13 at 6:57 am
    How do I hook up one of those T-shirts

  • Yesse Posted: Jan.13 at 7:23 am
    This was a good music video.

  • sopas Posted: Jan.13 at 8:17 am
    Where can I get the shirt?? Just so you know, I’m jumping the Li-Ning bandwagon

  • Randy Brown Posted: Jan.13 at 8:24 am
    I sad the same thing about Common when he was on the NBA Street DVDs. He looks a guy who practiced too much alone and didn’t play enough

  • riggs Posted: Jan.13 at 8:45 am
    so THATS what he was doing on fourty deuce

  • toine Posted: Jan.13 at 8:46 am
    I thought the shoes were decent and the video showed the soulful essense of bball…..great vid

  • Ryan Jones Posted: Jan.13 at 9:37 am
    F*cking Common.

  • Ryan Jones Posted: Jan.13 at 9:38 am
