After the National Football League (NFL) determined which football team is the best last night (by the way, the New Orleans Saints won Super Bowl XLIV), another milestone in sports will be cast in another football stadium this Sunday as the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium play host to the 2010 NBA All-Star Game.  Deemed to be the largest NBA All-Star Game in the history of the professional sport, some 90,000+ audience members will packed the silver skin monolith just outside of Dallas to bear witness on long-standing rivalries going head-to-head, including 2 MVPs – the NBA Championship MVP Kobe Bryant and LeBron James as the NBA MVP.  Cheering on the sideline would both men’s doppelgangers, the MVPuppets from Nike Basketball.

A bunch of reindeer going three-on-three against the magical winning combination of Santa, LeBron and Kobe? The results seem too easy and predictable, but what else would one expect anyway, right? KRS ONE continues to rap his way through the game, ESPN-commentator style and dissing the hooved buddies from time to time; meanwhile, as Santa (KRS ONE) raps along “the game is over, the game is over”, Team Santa dunks on Team Blitzen one by one in a sweet victory. For some cool rhymes, smooth moves and Christmas presents galore, check out the final installment of Nike Basketball’s Christmas MVPuppets series.

In response to Blitzen’s (played by Lupe Fiasco) taunts in Nike Basketball’s MVPuppets Christmas edition commercials, Santa decided to step up and put his revolting loud-mouthed reindeer in place. Check Santa Claus as played by MC and producer, KRS ONE, making sure the reindeer know that after all, they are just reindeer and he, Santa, “is the driver”. Of course, like the previous episode, Santa does not kick back in his velvet, belted suit, but dons a street-cred worthy basketball get up. Seriously, why would Blitzen even imagine he stands a chance against the man who has “got every address in the hood”? It’s going down this Christmas between man and creature, so stay tuned with the Nike Basketball commercials for more!

LeBron and Kobe celebrates Christmas with Nike in this hilarious special edition of the MVPuppets commercial. LeBron and Kobe along with Father Christmas comes up against Blitzen the begrudged rapping reindeer (played by a Lupe Fiasco) who antagonizes LeBron and Kobe in his rap. Sounds like a challenge and something is about to go down this Christmas between the MVP duo and well…a rhyming reindeer. Also, check out Santa forgoing his traditional velvety suit for basketball jersey and Nike gear. Christmas never looked quite as sweet.
