Adidas Basketball: Slim Chin w/ Dwight Howard & Derrick Rose

Dr. Ken Jeong (yes, he's a real doctor and used to work at Kaiser) is expanding his comedy chops by being Slim Chin on Adidas Basketball's latest shoe campaign. I won't bore you with the video that lets you play a game as D-Rose and unlock some code but here is the main intro video from Adidas on who Slim Chin is and how he thinks Derrick Rose is cool because of his new shoes.

Will you get these new Adidas? Personally, I'm still a huge corporate Nike flywire technology guy (who's currently rocking the Hypermax 360's) until Adidas man's up and makes a new Gil-Zero line.

So, yes, I am a bit of a FreeDarko enthusiast to say the least. My journeys through the NBA begin with FD and their friends while only being peppered with Chuck Barkley thoughts and Skip Bayless "analysis".

I don't put these Adidas commercials on The Nextians for any pimping of Adidas products (though the ankle wraps do sound cool). Frankly, I more of a Jordan Brand "baller" myself. But if you like the mythical artistic analysis in these youtubes I highly recommend purchasing the FreeDarko Macrophenomenal Basketball Almanac and changing the way that you look at our beloved NBA. These are pretty tight:
