Nike A New Team commercial exclusively created for Beijing Olympics 2008 has so wonderfully used Marvin Gaye’s 1983’s national anthem rendition that I got really moved. This anthem Marvin performed way back at 1983 NBA All Star Game in Los Angeles. Now Nike advertising think tank has decided to use the number for New Team USA advertisement.

As the new Team USA looks forward to claiming victory in Beijing, Coach K looks back twenty-five years for new inspiration from our national anthem.

The Star Spangled Banner is played before every game to inspire the players and the fans to greatness. Coach K took a moment out of practice to share a version of the song with his players that, in its own right, made sports history.
And like Marvin and the Dream Team before them, this year’s Team USA intends to put on a show that will forever go down as one the greatest performances in the history of the sport.

To show support for the men that will represent us in Beijing, Nike Basketball brings Marvin, LeBron, Kobe, J-Kidd and the rest of the team together to pay homage to basketball, America’s game.

Nice ad. We have seen some scenes of this Home Depot commercial in other versions as well. But AG Kruger features first time in this ad, if I have not missed him in earlier adverts.

Home Depot: Did You Know

This Home Depot Olympics 2008 advertisement is no less than a multi satrrer Hollywood potboiler. The exclusively made for Beijing commercial is featuring Hanna Thompson, Jake Arnold, Mary Wineberg, Jill Camarena, Josh Mcadams, Jeff Smoke and Jeff Skiba. The ad is cool in nature, people are doing their job in what they are best in, no artificial arch lights, no poppadum.

You can do it, we can help. Home Depot It’s Time commercial exclusively made for Beijing Olympics 2008, if not extraordinary and bigger than life, is modest and overwhelming at its best. This slice of life kind of Home Depot television ad is announcing first outdoor collection Thomasville furniture.

Nothing extraordinary but surely will help will remember the fact that Home Depot has tied up with Thomasville. Why should they spend a fortune otherwise.

Jackie Chan featuring in Visa commercial is funny no doubt. In this Beijing Olympics 2008 ad Jackie Chan plays for the stuff he is always famous for. He makes a mess out of everything, be it ping pong (table tennis…haha Chinese style), basketball, soccer, you name it, little Jackie screws up everything. He may jump from a fifth floor after smashing the glass window but will always land on something soft.

2008 China Olympics Visa Credit Card Commercial completely goes by Jackie characteristics, you will love it, irrespective of whether you are his fan or not.

This time lil Jackie got excited after seeing a big Yao Ming Olympic advertisement. And the rest is….well….incredible.
