I like it, too, especially the "role model" part with the donut and Barkley reference and the Don Johnson part.

I like the message, but the execution was a bit uneven for me.

A bit of drama and then tongue-in-cheek comedy, some nice wordplay ("like Air, I will rise" - no doubt an MJ reference), but it seemed like there was no consistency in the mood of the spot.

Then again...

...if it was too serious, then it would be seen as pretentious.

If it was too acerbic, it would be seen as bitter.

If it was too comedic, then it would be seen as facetious.

I guess that's what the commercial is supposed to be, to give you that feeling much like what Lebron is certainly facing in the NBA right now...a no-win situation...

..unless he wins a championship.

Actually, maybe I do like the commercial.
