This commercial for Guitar Hero featuring Michael Phelps, Alex Rodriguez, Kobe Bryant and Tony Hawk is only 2-3 months old, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it never airs again. Phelps has been burned at the stake for smoking weed, and A-Rod just got busted for taking steroids, so something tells me Activision is just a LITTLE pissed right now considering all the money they most likely paid to get this commercial made.
Are you a Kobe Bryant fan?
Are you a big enough Kobe fan to pay 50 dollars to join his website?
The “news” section on Kobe’s website is completely free, but if you want to see much more than that you’re going to have to dig in your pockets and break bread. I really want to know who’s idea it was to charge this much money for an experience that really isn’t terribly exclusive. There’s absolutely nothing on that list of perks that justifies a $50 dollar fee aside from a “meet & greet” with Kobe, but you have to consider where/when these will actually take place.
With the way our contry’s economy is right now, I think it’s pretty wack for someone making as much money as Kobe Bryant to charge fans for BS like this.
“”What a historical moment that was last night. … From an African-American standpoint, I watched my people — watched my people — celebrate the not guilty verdict of O.J. Simpson. They were so hungry for a victory of some kind that they celebrated — we celebrated — the verdict of O.J. And I was thinking to myself, ‘Two people are dead. Two people are dead’ Now, I’m not talking about my people, I’m explaining them here. They were just so hungry to say ‘We have a victory.’ And I cringe when I even think about that.
“But last night I watched a celebration. A real celebration. A real celebration, and it was a celebration for everybody, and everybody celebrated, and they kept showing this shot, and I was watching, of this little black girl and this little white girl, just sitting there crying together, and I thought, wow. I thought about Martin Luther King and his ‘I Have a Dream’ speech, and I thought about him saying, black kids and white kids playing together. …
“Last night we removed all differences and became just one, and I thought that was a beautiful thing. It was just a beautiful thing. I stood here with my kids, we watched it and we cried and we prayed.”
And in the video below, you’ll see reactions from Tony Dungy, LeBron James, George Karl, Donovan McNabb, Lovie Smith, and Doug Williams.
“Johnson smiled when asked the first thing he did when it was announced Tuesday night just after 8 p.m. in California that Obama had won the presidency.
“Jumped up for joy, we were hollering and screaming,” he said. “And then we started crying. As African-Americans we’ve made great strides. I think what this says is you can really become anything in life you want to become. It’s really a wonderful thing that we can be able to witness this.”
Johnson said he believes Obama is prepared to do the best possible job.
“He’s a motivator. He has a plan,” Johnson said. “One thing Barack can do, he can come in a room, command a room. Everyone will listen to every word.”
This video off Udrih killing Kobe with his ball handling skills is all over the internet, it had to happen sooner or later. You know what this means right? When Kobe plays the Sacramento Kings in the regular season he’s going to torch them for 60 points.
