Xeonic Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Anyone see it? Basically it had several of the Nike athletes in different sports, asking the question "What if [so and so] played [different sport] instead of [sport they play now]?" Athletes include: Lance Armstrong Boxing Serena Williams Playing Beach Volleyball Michael Vick Playing Hockey for the Colorado Av's Andre Agassi Playing Baseball for the Red Sox Randy Johnson Bowling a Strike Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/144315-nike-what-if-commercial/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
kak Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Yeah. Trying to copy the hype of the Ali commercial Adidas did. Not near as good in my opinion.

Garrett C Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Kind of funny seeing them doing other things. I liked the Randy Johnson mullet, personally.

jonovate Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Also seems like its a ripoff of the McDonald's commericals up here for the NHL trophy's, and Gretzky missing all but one, then he daydreams what if he was a goalie. McDick's commercial has been out for a month or so Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/144315-nike-what-if-commercial/#findComment-1775339 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeaR Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Years ago Stefan Edberg was featured in a similar commercial for Adidas, him doing things like being a lift man, electrician etc. It was really funny and the first of its kind. I think these ads are just a copy of those :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/144315-nike-what-if-commercial/#findComment-1776140 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawtai Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I thought it was pretty interesting. I think the Adidas Ali vs Ali commercial is still a little better though.

mark03 Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 tut, they ripped off Honda's new "What if?" tagline too. :no: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/144315-nike-what-if-commercial/#findComment-1776597 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmatik Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Took me a while to realize that was Lance Armstrong boxing and Serena Williams playing volleyball. I haven't really like any commericals from Nike since Michael Jordan's "What If" commercial. "What if I was just a basketball player? Could you imagine it? I can." Of course, the Mars Blackmon/Jordan commercials are the best sports-related ads ever :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/144315-nike-what-if-commercial/#findComment-1776600 Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianPimp99 Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I actually liked the commercial, but I was a little dissapointed in the CG of it. There are a couple shots (Vick scoring the goal, Lance just before his 2 punch combo) that look extremely fake in a pre Star Wars way. My favorite sports related commercials are the MJ-Bird Mc Donalds HORSE game, there was a Coca Cola commercial a while back with kids in a tree house, they ran out of coke and some grandmother yelled "Michael, the boys need more Coke" and he runs out there with a 6-pack and dunks it onto the ledge. Not sure why, but it's just a good commercial. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/144315-nike-what-if-commercial/#findComment-1776860 Share on other sites More sharing options...

stncttr908 Veteran Posted February 26, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 26, 2004 I liked it, but it was a tad bit too long in my opinion. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/144315-nike-what-if-commercial/#findComment-1777240 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight' Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 My opinion on a commercial, well, I don't really care to be honest they're all designed for one thing only - to sell a product. And I'll never buy a Nike product because of their aweful practices in poorer contries in regard to cheap labour.

Chris Allen Veteran Posted February 26, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 26, 2004 I haven't seen this commercial, but I do like the other Nike ones with the hockey players going out into the streets.

Darkness Muta Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 I liked the Randy Johnson mullet, personally. Randy has been rocking the mullet all his professional life. Maybe he is hoping they will make a comeback so he can once again pretend he is cool.
