    PR Project Lebron James

    b. The second tactic I will cover is the “First Home Game” Sprite commercial starring LeBron as well. This commercial also corresponds with LeBron returning home, but it has its own specific message. James makes a major statement throughout the commercial by making the notion that he was driven by his hometown fans more than anyone to return to Cleveland. During the commercial, LeBron states, ““Where does my thirst come from? It comes from here, from these people, because their passion, their love, drives me. They say home is where your heart is. My heart is here, it’s always been. This is my first home game.” What James is saying is that returning home is his first home game and it is just as important as his actual first game with the Cavaliers. At the end of the commercial James arrives at Patterson Park in Akron, Ohio where he once played pick-up basketball. When he made his entrance, there were many members of the community present. According to Ananth Pandian, “Sprite worked with city officials to turn Patterson Park, which hadn’t been updated in more than 20 years, into a blank canvas for New York artist Futura to transform. Once the court was…

During the seven year drought with this team they lost twice in their only finals appearances, to the Boston Celtics and the Orlando Magic. The transition from high-school to the NBA is very difficult, because everyone is stronger, faster, and more intelligent. He handled the situation perfectly.

    Lebron James Desicion

    In case you haven't heard, one of the best basketball players on the globe had a one hour special to announce his free agency decision in the summer of 2010. LeBron James went on ESPN on July 8th to tell the basketball world he was taking his talents to south beach to join the Miami Heat. “The Decision” as it became know, brought LeBron quite a bit of hate not only from fans from Cleveland (the team he was previously on) but from fans all around the league and even some players. The main reason for this is because he was viewed as selfish and egotistical in making a one hour special just to tell people where he was going to play basketball next season. Most people see the surface of the situation but don’t take into account everything that went on outside the publics focus. Even events like this have a lot going on in the background that the sports industry should take a look at.…

    Michael Jordan Symbolism

    Furthermore, I researched about art of the 90’s and encountered with more liberal expressions and modern illustration with what people can disgust. At the end, I opine that Michael Jordan’s symbol can be one of timeless things of the 90’s, because his influence created an enormous transformation and increased popularity in the basketball world. His influence in this sport overvalued him that when people are asked about basketball some of them without any knowledge about it mention Michael Jordan. Victories and individual skills were the factors that increased his value but what it is taken into account here is not his performance, is the symbolic power he became for this sport, and his name is recognized all around the world that even people do not watch basketball identify him. Michael Jordan as role model has been exceptional, many athletes attempt to train like him and he is a symbol of motivation for sports’ world, his achievements were s outstanding, that he increased the popularity of basketball in United States and encouraged new people to watch this sport. His symbolic value increased when Nike decided to sponsor him by releasing the Jordan’s shoes, one of the most famous shoes models ever produced, which are sold out all the time and their price is expensive but people still buy…
