Dwyane Wade Gatorade Commercial

I must admit, when I saw the new Dwyane Wade Gatorade commercial that debuted last week, I wasn't really a big fan. How did it communicate anything at all about Gatorade? But I've kind of softened up a bit. I do like it. I like it because it gets people talking. What do you think? Take a look below.

As a extreme NBA fan, this commercial has got to be one of the best i've seen for a while...good job!

Well Greg. It certainly has a lot of people talking.

i like it alot. because d wade is such a quiet guy, not a self promoter, like so many young atheletes these days, its a commercial spot that puts some humor to him and shows him in a different light. When putting this out, along with the documentary style commercial by converse, the wireless phone spot with Barkley, and the Lincoln Nav commercial, it gives him a more well rounded public image to build on as one of the new superstars of sports.

This spot, specifically, doesnt actually show the usual Gatorade green or blue sweat, is funny and gives him the spotlight similar to the way they did for D Jeter or M Jordan. Needless to say I liked it alot.

My 10 year old son, Brandon, is a huge NBA fan. When he saw Wade's new Gatorade commercial, he laughed hysterically for about 10 minutes. We both spent the rest of the NBA All-Star Weekend trying to catch the commerical again. I think that speaks to the appeal of the commerical...and the lack of appeal of the All-Star Weekend. It's a great commerical.

very funny commercial by a very good person and outstanding athlete. this is the best commercial i've seen, it's has an all round appeal. (realistic/funny)

is it just me or is good Dwyane a dead ringer for Mars Blackman?

Thanks for sharing!
