Nike congratulates LeBron with 'Ring Maker' commercial

Found June 22, 2012 on Larry Brown Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: LeBron James
TEAMS: Miami Heat

From Larry Brown Sports:

LeBron James and the Miami Heat weren't the only winners on Thursday night. Nike cashed in big, too.

The swoosh already had a commercial prepared for when James finally won his first ring. They released it on Thursday night after the Heat beat the Thunder in the NBA Finals.

The commercial is called "The Ring Maker," and it depicts a jeweler crafting a championship ring for LeBron James. The crafting begins when LeBron is a high schooler, and it's finally completed on the night James finally wins a title. It's clear that this commercial wanted to emphasize James' path to finally becoming a champion, and that Nike was there with him along the way.

LeBron James is one of Nike's most recognizable athletes in the world, and he already has his own shoe line and clothing line through them. He just lacked the validation of being a champion. Now that he's finally won his first ring, his marketing appeal should skyrocket. Nike is undoubtedly ready for a boost. This was a big night for them.

LeBron joins LMFAO onstage at Club LIV, raps

Let’s be honest here, LeBron James celebrating his first NBA title at Club LIV this morning with LMFAO is about as bad as it gets in the celebration category. There were no Ace of Spades bottles that we know of. No massive speeches from the King. No giant bar bills (more on that later this morning).
