Houston Rockets All-Star James Harden continues his summer tour of conversing with the “greats” in his latest Footlocker commercial. While currently preparing to compete for the United States in the upcoming FIBA World Cup, Harden gets a chance to chop it up with someone that knows a thing or two about playing in a World Cup match.
The spot features United States soccer legend Landon Donovan, who made headlines this summer when he was cut from the United States Men’s National team.
Acknowledging that incident, the commercial has Donovan not taking himself too seriously as he finds himself unable to recall those recent events from this past summer. Despite representing two different sports, the commercial allows the two athletes to cross paths putting a spotlight on both respective sports.
WATCH Captain @landondonovan and my new @footlocker commercial! http://t.co/aAcSQGfCB3 #approved
