Reminds me of the Jordan commercial [1] where he mentions he lost more than 9000 shots in his career, lost almost 300 games and missed 26 game winning shots. Amazing commercial (like most Nike commercials).
Unrelated, but we have really hit a new low as a society if we are discussing the aesthetic qualities of shoe commercials.
If something as banal as a shoe commercial has a legitimately inspirational message about failure and success, you could argue society has reached a new high.
Hah! Perhaps. I don't think you can call it banal considering the investment, however—it's straight-up propaganda. I highly doubt Kobe's three-point shot has anything to do with his using Nikes.
