Adidas's NBA stars finally make it to college
Here's a fun idea from Adidas. To celebrate March Madness, it's taking four of its endorsers who jumped straight from high-school basketball to the NBA and imagining them on the college teams of today: Kevin Garnett at UCLA, Dwight Howard at Kansas, Tracy McGrady at Louisville and Josh Smith at Pitt. See all four ads here. It would have been fun to see Kobe Bryant, another college dodger, in this kind of situation, though of course he's ex-Adidas and now shills for Nike.

It's funny that none of these schools will actually win the whole thing. It's also funny that AdFreak deleted my other comment.

I stand corrected (by myself). I posted the other comment on the post with the 4 videos.

Adidas could have saved mucho moola (not to mention the hassle of arranging a shoot around the busy schedule of a pro athlete) by filming an empty chair/desk in a classroom.
