    Who will win?

    ------------

    As part of New Years resolutions to run to maintain optimum condition, Nike has arranged for two of its biggest stars to challenge one another to run.

    The highly publicized challenge will come from Maria Sharapova and be directed at NBA All-Star LeBron James. Sharapova's challenge is simple. She will run more miles than James in January. If she falls short, she will leave the tennis court for the basketball court and serve as his personal water girl at a game of his choice. If she outruns James in January, then he must act as a ball boy during a match of Maria's choice.

    To see the commerical:

    Are you joking? That's not an actual competition, what other morons actually believed that commercial was real?

    It's real!

    Real in that it's an actual promotion being staged by Nike. I saw the commerical last night while watching a b-ball game on ESPN.

    Of course it's real. Who the hell us (besides Nike or that camera company she does ads for) has access to Sharapova. And, think about it for a moment -- the challenge is about "running." And, low and behold, Nike is working with iPod to promote their new "joint venture." Hoovis

    It's real? So then the challenge between Ohio State and Florida students must be real as well? You people are f***ing stupid.

    I'd say Lebran wins either way. Even if he "loses", he will be "forced" to sit and watch the sexiest pair of legs on the planet run around a court in a miniskirt for two hours.

    Hyperbole. She's got nice legs yes but they're not even the sexiest legs on the tour, much less the planet

    If they're the nicest legs within viewing distance, that's good enough.

    I'm sure Lebron doesn't have any difficulty attracting some of the finest sets of legs in the country to be near him on a routine basis, tennis star or not.

    It is fricken real dude!

    Next time you see LeBron playing a game look closely on his left shoe. You will see a little gadget which is some kind of pedometer or GPS device. Apparantely LeBron is logging the miles he runs during B-Ball games in addition to his training runs.

    If it's as accurate as most GPS mileage trackers, I'll bet he breaks 3500 miles this month.
