Cool Nike spot

I know the US Olympic Basketball team has been somewhat of a let down the last Olympics. Yes, this is putting it mildly. But as we've rolled into Bejing, our new team looks ferocious, thumping all foes with grand resolve. The players seem genuinely fired up to rep the red white and blue, ready to clean some foreigner clock. Domination.

I found this Nike ad for US Olympic basketball with Marvin Gaye singing the Nat'l Anthem. I found it to be a cool juxtaposition, and a reminder that Marvin was one smooth cat and that it's a shame he was killed prematurely. And that this year's basketball team is being called the 'redeem team'.

And, for what it's worth, I think this Nike Olympics/Courage ad is real cool, too. Inspiring.
