Marvin Gaye Nike Commercial

While not as high profile as the SuperBowl, the commercials at this years summer Olympics are grabbing some attention. Fortunately a lot of the major events appear with minimal commercials (and just endless ’sponsored by Coke’ messages), but there are some great spots out there. Like this one for Nike featuring a retro performance of the national anthem from Marvin Gaye woven into recent images of the US Dream Team. The clip of Gaye singing comes from the 1983 NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles.
