    Pretty good. Wasn't that the commercial KingSpeed auditioned for a while back? I think I remember him saying the commercial involved a tour bus.

    It's a fun commercial and it's cool to have our guy in the spotlight. I was a little disappointed though in the execution of the ad. It seems to me the premise is that Oden is a monster around the basket, but his dunks were kind of casual and wussy. A little fire and power would have made the ad more relevent. Plus, he should have been bodied up, or at least guarded, imo, instead of just waltzing to the basket with the "defender" 3 feet away.

    Exactly . . . that commercial is hilarious; head and shoulders better than this one. But hey, I'll take ANY national ad with one of our guys on it!

    He was good on "The Single Guy" and I think I fell in love with his wife on the show.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    That's really funny. I also liked that show and crushed a bit on his character's wife.

    There were beautiful women all over that show. I think her name is Ming-Na Wen and she is stunning. My favorite from that show, however, was the woman that played Charlie McCarthy--Jensen Daggett.

    The making of it was pretty funny, since after he dunked, Greg looked like he was saying, "Is that it? all right... back to practice then."
