I wonder how many of them actually have Macs.



Anyway, I didn't see this posted on the boards despite it being from the aiboards account.



Truly one of the best ads I've seen for Apple...but alas they're still 20-something year old males.

    They ALL must have Macs, or else they spend a lot of time listening to NOTHING on their iPods!

    yeah, this was posted a while ago, although i don't recall the movie at the time.



    then the lakers got stomped by some piss-ant team, and i believe there were a few remakrs about perhaps practicing more and listening to music less....

    Shaq is the best rapper in the whole world. He's an even better actor.

    I know that. But still. you have to wonder if a few of them even own Macs. Rick Fox says about 8 guys on the team bought iPods on that trip. The team has 13 people total! You think they all have Macs? I bet not!

    Hey, why not? They've got the $$$.



    If I can afford a Mac, a millionaire can afford a Mac.

    Well, sure, they probably own Macs now.

    That was funny, Shaq rules (sometimes).



    "Shaq said if we didn't have an iPod he was going to make us sit at the back of the bus."

    I think Shaq's the one with a Mac, he said something along the lines of "You need music, come see me."



    And unless they had iBooks in those bags I don't think those two bought one while there.

    Looks like one of 'em bought the Bose noise cancelling headphones. His total was $743.38!



    "I'm tired of people being analog and dragging around CDs and tapes...get an iPod - a thousand songs..."



    "You wanna ride with the Laker show, gotta have top-notch technology."

    The sad thing is, $743 is probably like nothing for them.



    I wish I could spend $700 like water just because a friend made fun of me!

    What kills me is I saw this A&E thing about Basketball players on the road. They actually get daily spending cash (like $60) too.

    Maybe just Shaq has a Mac (Shaq's Mac?) and loads up all the other guys' iPods with tuneage.

    screw that.



    i can see it now, a picture of Shaq holding an iPod.



    caption reads



    "Buy an iPod or I'll kick your ass."



    threats are way underused in advertising.....

    That explains why they've been sucking so bad lately And it's true, they get "meal money" on top of the millions they get paid.
