Heyyyyyyy wooorrrrrld!!! We finally got a day off on Monday, but ya’ll know how hyper I am and I have all of this energy, so I tried to make the best of my day off.
The folks from Gatorade came to O-town on Monday and we went down to Amway Arena and shot some commercials that will be coming out during the playoffs. We actually shot three different commercials. Having shot a couple of roles in movies and more than a few commercials, I kind of knew what to expect. But it was a shock to some of the new people on the set.
It took about seven hours to shoot the three commercials!!! How crazy is that??? Some of the dudes there were worn out by the end of the day!!!
I’m trying to keep the commercials top secret, but I can tell you guys that my boys Jameer Nelson and Matt Barnes got to be in the commercials during the basketball stuff on the court. It was so cool getting to have my guys in there with me and we had so much fun during the shoot laughing and cutting up.
We also had The Big Show in the shoot. Well, it was actually Matt Geiger, but he looks like the Big Show cause he’s 7-foot tall and he’s got that shaved head and a goatee. He was a funny guy too. I guess he had to retire from the Sixers cause of a knee problem, but he lives over in Clearwater now, not far from O-town.
Coach Stan was there too … well, it was a dude who looked like Stan. Actually the coach in the commercials looks like that guy from Bay Watch, David Hasselhoff I think is his name.
I wanna be kinda hush-hush about what went on the commercials so ya’ll will have to tune in to see everything that happens, but I can tell you that they are some cool commericals. But I did wanna give you a few tips so you could watch out for them.
I think the commericals are dropping in May during the playoffs. So hopefully your boy will be splattered all over the TV in May during the playoffs.
We’re on national television the next two nights against the Spurs and Heat, so all of my lil homies around the country can watch us play. We’re starting to really mesh well and get that chemistry that we need for the playoffs. So check us out on ESPN and TNT and hit me back on here and in Twitter and Facebook land and tell me what you think about our squad right now.
