First let me tell you that was not a Nike Commercial. The person who said Nike has a history of stuff sounds stupid because it was a POWERADE commercial. POWERADE has a history of that for example the video when Mike Vick threw the football what seemed like a mile. But it is actually very good editing and visual effects. Nothing more. Of course Lebron is my favorite player so it gave me something to brag about but.... come on.... sure it's POSSIBLE. anything is. But to actually be caught by a cam..... And a half court shot is something TOTALLY different. For ex: before games you will actually see some players shooting half court shots. Tracy McGrady shoots them like they are 15 footers. Rasheed Wallace too. Actually shoots from half court with BOTH HANDS. But FULL COURT shots? No way....

It could easily be real. I knew someone that could make 8 out of every 10 halfcourt shots he tried, and he was an out-of-shape 50 year old... saw him do it nearly every day for a while (I rebounded for him). For a 21 year old NBA superstar like LeBron, who consistently has shown good 3-point range in NBA games, I don't see it as hard to believe at all. But despite me believing it fairly easily, that doesn't take away from how insanely incredible it is. I absolutely love that commercial, LeBron rules. As far as Nike editing goes, sure, it's possible, but I think it's worth mentioning that the Nike ad with Tiger Woods bouncing the golfball on the wedge, that was real... Tiger's done that a few additional times for TV audiences, including a sceptical news program like Dateline or whatever it was. I believe the LeBron commercial is real simply because it's not that hard to shoot a basketball full court... what's hard is making it, and with someone as gifted of a shooter as LeBron is, I don't see it as that hard to believe he could make a 3/4 court shot and 3 full-court shots in a row... it probably took a few takes, but definitely possible.

LOL, i think it's all about the camera angles, and some editing.. NIKE is known for stuff like that, but hey, it might be true tho.. i don't know, i just doubt he's that good... he good but he ain't that good.

of course it's not real. they just filmed him shooting a basketball from that spot, and then edited it to seem like the ball kept going
