The illustrious career of Kobe Bryant is coming to end this Wednesday when the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Utah Jazz at home. With everyone paying homage as things come to a close, Apple has joined in on the fun with their own commercial for the living legend on the basketball court, but it’s not as touching as you’d think.
Sitting with Michael B. Jordan in a trailer, the Black Mamba gives him pointers about how to play him during his time as No. 8 in the early days. Kobe describes himself as a “cold blooded assassin” MBJ quickly brings him back to reality and tells him his career has been on the decline ever since. He even compares him to a scene in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and mentions he’ll be wearing prosthetics and makeup.
All to show the power of Apple TV and the Siri integration.
