Video: Kobe Bryant’s Cameo in Nike Soccer Ad

Truth be told, Bryant only appears for a few seconds (starting at the 2:03 mark), but it’s a good enough excuse to post this remarkable commercial:

    @Nawlins. Im not from the US but I live there now, may I have permission to comment please? Jackass. The US might actually “make it OUTSIDE” the group stage but they wont make it past the group stage. Awesome, awesome, awesome commercial. Oh and its the wrong color on the Lakers jersey, its more yellow, its not gold. Its different, they messed it up.

  • Saku 39

    I think the Brazilian Team in the airport is much better. Go North Korea!

    Oh my gawd, i’m diving in Malaysia and saw Lang pushing hard for this ad on Twitter. Finally got enough bandwidth to see it at the hotel, awesome. My buddies keep asking me why i’m addicted to the swoosh, well such ads are part of it. Rooney KILLING Federer at ping pong (while wearing suits) was freaking hilarious. Kobe doing Ronaldo’s samba-ronics…meh. Shoulda used Nash, he’s got soccer skills. Fantastic ad. Only downer (and i’m sure Nike is pissed cause of it); Ribery being so prominent in the ad, now that his name’s being dragfed into the gutter, LT-style, back in europe. Otherwise, Aces.

    PS: GO SUPER EAGLES (you too, Bayern, pls find a way to kick Mourinho’s butt tomorrow)

    Ding dong, “ohh, Ronal-D’OH!” oh my lord, i’m in tears.

    Nike killed it.

    Man, you should view the FIFA ranking again. I don’t know when your annoying country was third, but for a few years, THE NETHERLANDS are on the third spot.

    Loser, with that crybaby of a Ronaldo

  • http://www.teflinprague.com SAB

    haha, the Rooney-England scenes were awesome. f*ck Ronaldinho!

  • Marco

    this is a great commercial, but it’s far from being the best. Go on youtube and search ” nike-the cage”. watch all the videos an the tell me

  • http://www.another48minutes.com Gerard Himself

    Absolutely brilliant commercial. When you have a football (sorry, for the Americans: soccer) commercial that somehow even has Kobe Bryant and Gael Garcia Bernal in it, well, it has to be something different. I love it.

  • danimoth2

    but ronaldinho is not playing in the world cup lol

  • Tony E

    Why is Kobe Bryant in the commercial? I can see Gael Garcia Bernal in it because he would play C Ronaldo in a movie and Ronaldinho is a great player despite not being on Brazil’s squad. Why isn’t Messi in it, since he could be the best player in the world.

  • Gamble

    @Tone E
    Because Messi is sponsored by adidas

  • Jon

    If anyone is wondering why the jerseys of say France and Italy and Cote d’Ivoire are wrong, it’s becasue they’re sponsored by Puma/Adidas and can’t be placed on the Nike ad. Surprisingly Rooney is filimed wearing England’s Umbro kit and Rio isn’t.
