Nike Basketball video -- LeBron James. The message: the difference between the expectations others may have of him versus the expectations he has of himself. The madness behind producing this video stems from the controversy surrounding his decision to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers and play for the Miami Heat (July 2010) -- and, naturally to promote his line with Nike. Side note: the video includes a line from Dr. Maya Angelou's poem, "Still I Rise." As always, enjoy!

Poem: Still I Rise - Dr. Maya Angelou
Still I Rise
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
