Here's the latest ad from Nike (via TrueHoop, BDL, Dime, etc.) featuring the many witnesses of LeBron James. LeBron himself must have been too busy for the shoot, as he's nowhere to be found, except for in some very Gilbert Arenas-like illustrations. Check it out.

I'm 50-50 on this one. It's kind of cool to have folks that appear to know the King personally talk about him, but at the same time, they really don't seem to be saying much. (Except for the dude behind the Lebron mask who says "I would cross you up and dunk in your mouth" -- that was phenomenal.) But I think I'd prefer to see James himself in some kind of action instead, or at the very least, throwing down dunks dressed as famous historical figures.
