The Daily Tube review
Nike's unfortunate puppet advertising campaign -- not in terms of conception, but in terms of execution, considering the fact that LeBron James was thoroughly bounced in the Eastern Conference Finals -- has gained a lot of attention and fans, but it isn't serving the company's main goal: Promoting two of it's top tiered athletes in the Finals. Instead, Adidas's Dwight Howard is Kobe Bryant's opposing star, and he's just as magnetic as the other two stars. So, what would have happened if Nike sponsored Howard and tried to moc up a puppet of him? Well, the version Jimmy Kimmel Live used was pretty stinking good ... and funny. We're fans, to say the least.
