Kobe and Lebron Nike Puppet Commercialsvoice

The folks at Nike are at it again!!!    This time they reinvent Kobe Bryant and Lebron James as Muppet-Like puppets. Kobe comes off like an old man while Lebron comes off like a 10 year old kid.  The commercials are very funny, but i can’t see how Kobe or Lebron could approve of the way they are portrayed in these commercials.  TheNBA league office must have had to sign off of these ads.  Here are all the ads in one spot.

Updated Information:

Many folks have been asking who created the Kobe/Lebron Most Valuable Puppet Ads for Nike.

The PuppetVision Blog had some information available.

It appears that the puppets in the ads were created by Legacy Effects and the voice of Kobe Bryant was done by former “In Living Color” actor David Allen Grier.  Lebron James’ voice was performed by SNL’s Keenan Thompson. It has been reported that the voice of Little Desmond (Lil’ Dez) is performed by Role Models  actor Bobb’e J. Thompson

I am still trying to find more information on the ad agency that created the ads.
