Nike "What if..." Ad

Anyone else seen this cool new ad? I just saw it for the first time.

It features a half-dozen athletes, and shows highlights of them playing sports other than the ones they are famous for.

Ones I can think of:
Randy Johnson bowling (hilarious…)
Michael Vick and Urlacher (sp?) playing hockey
Marion Jones doing gymnastics
Serena Williams playing Volleyball

There were at least 2 more that I know I should be able to think of.

It’s a great ad, the kind of ad that should’ve premiered during the Super Bowl. I’ve always liked Nike ads. They’re always original. I just hope they have more ads to elaborate on this same theme.

Ah… and how could I forget Lance Armstrong boxing!

Lance “Big Tex” Armstrong… :smiley:

I’m glad you wrote this OP. I saw the ad but I had no idea who any of the people were so I didn’t understand the premise was having atheletes in different sports. It makes much more sense now.

I did catch a bit of it. I thought Vick was in a Celebrity Hockey Tournament or something.
Here’s an article about the ad.

Watch it here.

Yeah, it was subtle. A few times they only showed the name in the background, or had someone saying it vaguely. Most of the people I only recognized from the face. There was also someone playing baseball, which a name I missed. He seemed very familiar. I’m sure someone will chime in soon with the name.

For some reason I love the idea of Lance Armstrong boxing…

Casey missed your post before I replied. So it was Agassi playing baseball! Should’ve recognized him.
