Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Blazers player sponsors

 

I was thinking the other night of possible sponsorships for players on the Blazers. The most obvious one to me would be the amazing body wash Old Spice Swagger. Brandon Roy would be the best person to promote "Swagger" Just picture a commercial with him saying, "In almost three seasons now I've tied or won the game 25 times in the final 30 seconds. Was this because of my incredible skills, and my ability to remain calm under any pressure? No, it was the 8 hour protection from Old Spice Swagger."

Or this one is a stretch, but since he loves the driving extended scoop on either side of the basket, why not Raisin Bran Two Scoops? 

This is meant to be a fun post, getting away from disecting the players, coaches, and hating on the the other teams.  Portland is a low market team and it's always great to see players in national commercials. Perhaps the bloggers here on blazersedge could be the ones that get these players the national recognition.

...this just in...

Lazy Boy just sponsored Oden. They saw how uncomfortable he looked in his favorite seat all the way at the end of the bench so they are now giving him a full Lazy Boy recliner to keep his fragile legs elevated without sacrificing comfort.

Outlaw plays no D, I hate Nate, I hate Kobe.

As for being on topic.

Rudy needs to do hair removal adds.
Sergio needs to do hair growth adds.
Batum needs to do hand lotion adds.
Bayless needs to do an add for hungry hungry hippo.

If Batum did a hand lotion ad

and i saw that on television i would lose it.

Greg Oden for Zoloft

Anything I can think of here is in bad taste and wouldn’t be welcome, because when I think of Lamarcus I think:

Should be pounding inside, but instead is shooting from distance.

The Big "O"

Oden could get a sponsorship from Castle Superstores…

Pryzbilla for Ford?

Pryzbilla is a tough utility player… he would be a very solid pitchman for Ford F-150 trucks.

Bayless and BMW autos...

Bayless likes to drive, the basketball that is… But his tendancies for driving would work well with the Ultimate Driving Machines known as BMW’s.

These two sharpshooters could be the spokespeople for Sportsman Warehouse…

Brandon Roy...

Roy should be a pitchman for Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters or high efficiency furnaces… because Roy is High Efficiency.

Charmin Toilet Paper….

Because Versatility Matters. That is Nic Batum.

Aldridge, Roy and Oden should all be sponsored by Nike. For sure. If not each core player on this roster… Afterall we are gonna win Championships in 2010 and 2011.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.
