Koo’s Corner

Below are some sporadic thoughts on some of the more interesting things going on in the world of sports.

-The Houston Rockets have won 22 games in a row. Today they extended that streak to 22 by beating the highly touted Lakers. Their next game is at first place Boston which is sure to grab some attention away from the upcoming NCAA tournament. The most impressive thing about the streak is that the latter part of it was accomplished without fellow Chinese Icon Yao Ming who is out for the season with a foot injury.

-Before the brackets were announced, I had my Final 4 as Tennessee, Kansas, North Carolina and was contemplating Georgetown and Texas for the other slot.

I always keep an eye out for solid commercials as I hate scrambling to pick one, when its time to select a Commercial of the Week. This week I found myself impressed by a pair of new Nike commercials.

I have always enjoyed the vast majority of Nike’s commercials and found the below ads to be up to par. Both mix exciting imagery and action with intense and suspenseful music.

The timing of these commercials is also important, as lots of Americans will be tuning in to watch March Madness, the start of baseball, and the home stretch of the NHL and NBA seasons. With winter turning into Spring, its very plausible that sports fans tuning into their favorite team may decide upon watching these commercials that its time to buy a new work out outfit or pair of shoes.
