Part Two of Eli's Adidas Commercial.



Oh yes it's here! The long-awaited matchup between my character, Kevin "Mr. Exec" Walker, and David "Zeus" Williams. And, okay, as you'll see, I was totally cheated out of my King of Bounce title - but, I mean, is that an honor I really wanted?

When my mom watched this commercial, she was upset that I lost the match. I did my best to remind her that it's a comedic television commercial, not an actual athletic competition that I screwed up. She didn't care.
