File under… “Yes, these are the things I notice”<\/p>\n
So I’m watching this new Tracy McGrady Adidas commercial, the one where two kids are narrating, telling a story about how McGrady wins the game at the last minute. After making a clutch free throw, he lights on fire and drains a jumper, then proceeds to grow bat wings and can a three-pointer over the entire crowd at the buzzer… LEFT HANDED. (He’s a righty.)<\/p>\n
‘Course, there was no mention of this left-handed feat, so I was pretty sure this was unintentional. Turning to my beautiful TiVo, I went back and watched the sequence again. Every other shot in the commercial was right-handed. In fact, when they show T-Mac rising up for that last-second shot, he’s squaring up right-handed. Clearly, for some reason they flipped the view digitally after the fact, probably because it just looked better that way. And they figured no one would notice.<\/p>\n
This doesn’t really affect the commercial at all, so I’m not sure why I took such interest. I guess the answer is that yes, these are the things I notice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
