My favorite basketball player of all time is Larry Bird. When I was a kid I worshiped the ground he walked on. If there was 1 second left on the clock, that was all the time he needed to make something happen. He couldn't run, he could couldn't jump but he dominated the court.
Larry Bird retired in 1992, that's 16 years ago. So I guess I'll throw this one right at the creative geniuses at the Skechers shoe company...what the hell is wrong with you?
What child in this day and age would want a Larry Bird sneaker? And even if they did want them, how in the world did that commercial make it on air? Don't they have meetings and such? Doesn't somebody have to approve it first, like an important person or something? They're not even green!
Is this how it happened?
"Hey what's the date today? What?! The 15th! We're supposed to deliver the Larry Bird kid shoe commercial tomorrow. Well let's get our top guys on it pronto. Oh, they're all on working on the Bo Jackson mandel. Alright then just have the intern do it. Someone print out some Wikipedia info of Bird for him."
Seriously, a guy with an NBA career like this...
NBA champion (1981, '84, '86)
NBA Finals MVP (1984, '86)
NBA MVP (1984, '85, '86)
Nine-time All-NBA First Team (1980-88)
All-NBA Second Team (1990)
All-Defensive Second Team (1982, '83, '84)
NBA Rookie of the Year (1980)
One of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History (1996)
Olympic gold medalist (1992)
...deserves a better commercial. Eat shit Skechers, you fuckin' nitwits.

perhaps you can find solace in a bowl of 16 year old wheaties.
He looks like Mike Walsh.
I also hear that Sketchers is coming out with the Len Bias sneaker as well.
