Carmelo's ad designed to stir jazz fans

[ChosenOne]

"You like it, think it's funny?"

 

That was Carmelo Anthony's first question when the topic of his TV ad came up.

 

The Nuggets star teamed up with Nike's Jordan Brand to air a creative albeit confusing commercial, which has aired during the Denver-Utah series. It is like a political ad, promoting the greatness of one Carmelo Kiyan Anthony — the catch is, it's seemingly sponsored by "the fans of Carmelo Anthony in Utah."

 

Denver's all-star forward talked about the ad Wednesday. Asked about its purpose, Melo said: "To make it seem like all the fans in Utah are rooting for me. It's just stirring some stuff up. If we had played Phoenix, it would be the same thing."

 

Turns out the ad was made to rile the fans.

The first coupla times i was just like "what in the world is this?" I guess its a coo idea. They better win the series though.

Funny ad just hit "super funny" when the Jazz went up 3-1 tonight. Wonder if Melo still has jokes.

Haha yeah, it would have just been kinda funny if they up 3-1 but now that they are down 3-1 it's one of the funniest ad's I've ever seen.

I seen that ad during game two but haven't seen it since. Kind of stupid, but whatever floats Melo's boat; I'd rather him be doing this than studying how to defend the pick and roll.
