#TheReturn

Kobe is known as one of the greatest basketball players to play the game and that is currently playing the game till this day, and if you have ever seen his Kobesystem commercial you could see how cocky of a player he really is. I love to watch Kobe play basketball just like any basketball fan because I like to see players do well at their particular sport, but I'm the type of player who lets my game speak for itself instead of me being cocky and trash talk. That's probably why I believe this Kobesystem commercial is absolutely terrible. It makes Kobe look like a totally selfish and stuck up player who is totally full of himself. This commercial is set up to be a success group that is there to see Kobe who they think can help them become more successful in life because Kobe has all the answers and is the most "successful" basketball player.

Like I mentioned earlier, I like my game to speak for itself and that's probably why I am a huge fan of Derrick Rose. Derrick is the most humble basketball player I think you would ever meet if you heard him in his interviews talking about his recent success in the NBA. I does help that I am also from Illinois, so that might explain why I am such a big fan of Rose. If you follow the NBA you would know that Derrick tore his ACL in a playoff game last season. Derrick was the raining MVP a season before he was injured and he was the main leader and captain on the Chicago Bulls team. With a player with the talent and leadership that Derrick has goes down, the whole state of Illinois was in shock, their best player might never recover from a injury like this. This commercial of Derrick Rose shows the whole town of Chicago just freeze as they watched Rose clench his knee in pain when he went down in the playoffs. Then the town starts to move again as they can hear the slamming of weights in the background as Rose is training harder then ever to make sure his knee is stronger than it was before the injury. This commercial is just inspirational, this athlete had everything he ever wanted in life and it was almost taken away from him with a terrible injury, but that's not going to stop Derrick from trying to come back stronger, faster , and better then ever. Watch out America, watch out for #TheReturn.
