New Nike Commercial

Last night I tuned in for awhile to watch the Cavs - Celtics game. An entertaining NBA game, but one thing I saw a number of times during the span I was watching the game that irritated me was a new Nike commercial that also featured Duke.

Not only was it a long commercial, but the Nike commercial was, in part, also an ad for Duke. The kid grows up working hard on his game, goes to a Lebron James camp, then to Duke where he hits a game winner, then to the Cavs where he plays with Lebron and hits a game winner.

I was somewhat surprised when I saw the ad that with all the money and shoe crap going on, that Nike would in a way promote Duke in a commercial.

Anyone else see it and get irritated by the Duke part in the commercial?

I too saw that ad and was taken aback as well. "Is he wearing his Duke uni?" was my thought - never knowingly have seen that before. I haven't been happy with Coach K getting such a long gig coaching the national men's team too - would rather see a max for how long a college coach can take the helm of the national team.
