Vitamin Water is not new in the NBA world. They've done commercials with Steve Nash, LeBron James, and Dwight Howard. But this might be up there with Nash's performance. Although the Kloser is really stupid, Kobe's self deprecating humor with his hip hop amish pictures seals it for me.

6 of the Lakers (sorry, no Pau) appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live after their game 7 victory over the Boston Celtics in the Finals. Some of the highlights include: Adam Morrison highlight reel, Sasha fixing his hair, and Fisher checking his privates! Enjoy!

All of this talk about Kobe and Jordan, Kobe still lacks alot in one category: advertising. He's finally got the shoes in place with the Kobe IV's and V's, and now he's got a ad his airness would be proud of.
