Michael Jordan’s response to LeBron’s “Rise” commercial a FAKE

On Thursday, I posted this video of Michael Jordan responding to LeBron’s Nike “Rise” commercial asking fans, “What should I do” after the basketball star left Cleveland. The Jordan commercial was titled, “Maybe You Should Rise,” and pretty bad @$$.

It was one of the most epic Z-snaps between the Jordan LeBron rivalry. Jordan’s video quickly became one of the TJC most popular posts and generated more than half a million views in just four days on YouTube.

Both commercials were for Nike, making us question the validity of the Jordan commercial… but we were blinded with excitement that the greatest basketball player of all-time was calling out the self-proclaimed king.

That was until Miami Heat beat writer confirmed our suspicions. Ira Winderman of the Sun-Sentiniel tweeted:

YouTube Jordan-LeBron commercial a spoof. Another example of anything goes social-media age. Jumpman vs. Nike simply not going to happen.

The video was created by fan Tom Hinueber, and the Jordan audio is from an old Air Jordan’s commercial. Nice job Tom && #TEAMJORDAN. To follow thejerseychaser.com on Twitter click here!

New Michael Jordan commerical mocking LeBron James & Rise commercial

LeBron James has often been compared to Michael Jordan throughout his career. But unlike LeBron, Michael Jordan stayed in Chicago for his entire career (until he came back from retirement in 2001) and brought the city six championships in eight years. Jordan even turned down lucrative contracts to play fore bigger market teams like the New York Knicks.

Earlier this month, LeBron released a new Nike commercial called “Rise” asking the world “What should I do?” after he became Public Enemy No.1 for leaving the Cleveland Cavilers. Jordan has come out with his own commercial for AirJordans and responds to LeBron.

While I am not a huge Michael Jordan fan, I did like the movie Space Jam, and this commercial gave me goosebumps and will probably make my boyfriend cry.

The original “Rise” commercial can be seen below…

Miami Heat banns Cleveland Reporter

Scott Raab, a sports reporter from Cleveland has been banned from Miami Heat’s American Airlines Arena. Scott Raab recieved an email from Tim Donovan, the director of media relations for the Miami Heat saying, “Scott, You are no longer welcome at our building and will not be credentialed moving forward. -Tim”

While Raab is not writing for a Cleveland base publication, he has been very vocal about LeBron leaving the Cavaliers. Raab has written for GQ and currently writes a column for Esquire.

Let’s see if banning Raab will help Miami get fans in the seats.

LeBron James a finalist for Time Magazine’s Person of the Year

Time Magazine has announced its 25 finalists for its annual “Person of the Year.”  Making the list is LeBron James. LeBron’s fellow nominees include Barack Obama, Sarah Palin, Lady Gaga and Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

However, LeBron does not think he deserves to be on the list telling reporters after practice, “I am who I am and I think I’m in a position of my life where I’m going to get better every day. But it’s too much.”

Online voting began today, and the public agrees with LeBron. Currently, LeBron is 24th out of 25 on the list of nominees, with a little over 5,000 votes for him.

Leading the list of nominees is Turkish Prim Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has gained attention for his stance against Israel and its relationship with Palastine, accusing Israel of “inhumane state terrorism.”

Lebron’s choice for the Time Person of the Year? -The Chilean miners, “What those guys did, the courage and what they stood for, I should be nowhere near that list. Nowhere near it.”

Last year’s winner was Chariman of the Federal Reserve Ben Bernake. Time defines the award as the person who has had done the most to influence the events of the year”…. apparently, LeBron’s “Decision” TV special qualifies.
