I guess it's an ad for Pepsi. But he created a persona as "Uncle Drew." Pretty funny, wish they could have taken it a little further.

I like stuff like this. Jewel singing karaoke undercover is another good one to look at.

And all those people didn't wonder why there was a camera crew filming Uncle Drew?

Nono. The camera crew was supposed to be there filming his nephew or (whoever that guy is) and Uncle Drew was there to watch until that guy sprained his ankle (who was also in on it) and joined the game.

In the video notes:

Pepsi MAX went to a pick-up game in Bloomfield, NJ pretending to shoot a documentary on a basketball player named "Kevin." When his Uncle Drew came into the game, some magical things happened.

I think that was teh best part. He starts off hobbled, and then at a point just rips them up haha 😀

 

[shortylickens]

Does he get shanked?

 

[Ns1]

Awesome

 

[Printer Bandit]

i thought he was related to Dr. J.

yeah, so not only can you not watch it real time due to the endless buffering interrupts, you can't even pause it and come back to it to watch it smoothly. i'm not happy with this free service they are providing.

This was not at the court next to amdhunters.

 

[Ricochet]

Sweetness just to see the reactions.

"Uncle Drew" is just about real as "Grandmama"

 

[chusteczka]

I do not see the appeal.
He could have subtly directed and taught the others with his experience, and improved their game.
Instead he showboated and egotistically bathed in his ability to walk over those less skilled than him.
Does he feel so insecure in himself to need such easy reassurance?
I am definitely not impressed.

If you use Chrome, get the extension called "Stop Autoplay for YouTube". When you go to a youtube vid, click the seek bar like you're going back to the beginning, and it will usually buffer the whole thing (HD vids seem to buffer faster as well).
