Leave it to Pepsi and their billion dollar advertising budget to come up with an awesome, but totally un original new ad campaign.

 

During the NBA Finals on Thursday I saw an interesting new commercial that I originally thought was just Greg Oden playing a pickup game.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then after a few seconds, when the player didn’t suffer a season ending injury I realized it couldn’t be Oden.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That is when I got very excited and thought maybe The LeBrons were coming back!?!

 

 

 

Notice how even way back then LeBron is trying to hide the fact that he is going bald with every character?

Unfortunately for everyone (most of all LeBron) what I was witnessing was just a ripped off version of “Pops” from the LeBrons

 

The idea is funny, and would be kind of fun…  But with all the cameras and equipment it would have taken to shoot a film that high quality? Looks about as believable as Undercover Boss if you ask me.
Who is Uncle Drew?  He is Greg Oden with a pain threshold…  Guess the Blazers should have taken him?
