Nike and Yi — a match made in hip-hop heaven. Chinese hip-hop heaven, anyway.

October 31st, 2007 by Brett Boyer · No Comments

Remember the Scottie Pippen “Time Warp” Nike commercial from several years ago? The really strange, vaguely racially-influenced, where Scottie laces up his Nike’s and is suddenly transported to the ’50’s, where all of his opponents become white guys with black, horn-rimmed glasses who are so unathletic that Scottie can blow by and dunk on them before they can even turn around?

Well, I was poking around YouTube and in honor of opening night, I have to share this — a Nike commercial from a couple of years ago, highlighting Yi and (I guess) a couple of other guys. You gotta love the Yi goaltend that starts the action.

Also, I hope Yi really does the post-dunk move that he flashes right in the face of his opponent in the end of the commercial. That would be worth both the technical and the fight it would start.
