Michael Jordan is a
player that transcends basketball he’s a brand and responsible for making the
NBA and the Chicago Bulls one. His commercials are more like short feature
films some riveting, some light-hearted. Here are the Top 5 Michael Jordan Commercials
of All-Time.
#5 Frozen Moments
This commercial really
captures the grace and elegance MJ played with. Throughout the Commercial he
camera goes from Jordan to he fans and Although no words were spoken I think
that’s what makes this commercial brilliant. It’s basically saying that
greatness is forever and you don’t need words to describe because you can see It
and feel it.
#4 Failure
This commercial shows
MJ walking out into the parking lot pass security guards and screaming fans
with him narrating the Commercial. He gives you statistics about his failures
on he court and lets you know that its those same failures that gave him the
strength to win 6 championships. He gave you insight into his mentality which
was a dope concept to me.
#3 Jordan vs Jordan
In This Gatorade spot
Jordan plays himself in dark gym. Old bald headed Jordan on the Wizards plays
an intense game against the young baby faced Jordan with hair in a Bulls
Jersey. Trash talking was the center piece of his commercial and to see MJ
playing himself was pretty cool even if it was a Commercial.
#2 Tell Me
Jordan towards the end
of his career had many doubters. In this commercial he spoke directly to his
critics “Challenge me, Doubt me, Disrespect me, Tell me I am older, Tell me I am
slower, Tell me I can no longer fly”. He let the critics know at that point
that he was on a mission.
Perhaps the most famous
of all his sneaker Commercials Jordan shared this stage with Spike Lee who
looked like he was still wearing the same clothes from his movie “Do the right
thing”. He asks him what makes him so great on the court and concluded that it
had to be the shoes.
