So you want to meet the greatest of all time? How about the man who inspired the greatest of all time? Meet the man who motivated Michael Jordan. In tenth grade he beat out MJ for the last spot on the varsity basketball team, igniting a fire that inspired him to greatness. Not Aristotle. Not Kublai Khan. Or Genghis Khan. That man is Leroy Smith. And don’t forget his handy African sidekick, Manny Mayiek. Oh snap, if you haven’t watched Leroy Smith yet, get ready to taste greatness, and get your basketball on now!

Nike’s at it again, and hoop fans are lappin’ it up. Pure genius. For the 2008-09 NBA playoffs, they hit the sweet basketball spot with the clever MVPuppets: Lebron and Kobe ads sweeping the nation. And now a heavily viral campaign, Get Your Basketball On is already saturating the net getting the public acquainted with Leroy Smith. Underneath that guise is funny-man Charlie Murphy, who dedicated Dave Chappelle fans may recall in episodes on Chappelle’s show.

Behind the Scenes with Leroy Smith

With this new campaign focusing on getting your basketball on, Leroy’s somewhat of a hybrid of the coach you’re glad you never had, Mr. T, MC Hammer from the pants-gone-wrong era, and Semi from Coming to America all wrapped up in 80′s hues. This motivational, influential, wacky to say the least but highly entertaining “mastervator” is bound to be an influential hit!
