Nike USA Basketball Commercial - Marvin Gaye National Anthem



I got the chills when I saw this commercial for the first time.  It got me fired up for the Olympics and I could really care less about what happens so that is saying something.  I guess I take that back though because I am looking forward to USA Basketball whooping everyone's ass like back in the day.  The problem is, that probably won't happen because International basketball has grown up and a lot of teams can beat the Americans at any point.  The fact that NBA players are heading overseas to play in Europe should tell you something.  The money is great but the competition isn't something to ignore either.  Those dudes can ball over there.  Watch your ass Team USA.

By the way, this has to be the best remix of the National Anthem of all time (not that there are a lot of those).  It was such a creative take on such an old song and not many people have balls to try something new like that because it is such a difficult song to sing.  Marvin Gaye was the mutha f'n man.  It's too bad he died so young because he would still be turning out classic tracks to this day.  His music is timeless.
