Part of it is a prestige thing. Part of it is a “why?” thing.

Mercedes has prestige. Hocking the whole Frito Lay line has prestige. Hocking the specialty douche-flavored Ruffles? Not so much.


LeBron can get away with hocking Sprite Remix and specialty Powerade flavors. A goober like AD just looks stupid trying to do it.

His publicist told him to.

You can sense a pattern.

Anthony Davis is unintelligent. Brilliant at basketball but he’s a soft minded unibrowed dweeb who grew 7 inches taller in one summer.


He's influenced very easily and surrounds himself with the wrong people. I hope he is not another one of these professional athletes we read about after he is retired that is broke because his "advisors" robbed him blind or make bad investments.

Imagine being a freak athlete in Los Angeles and Ruffles being your biggest endorsement.

AD has never been able to think for himself and he brings people in that give him horrible advice given that he is a top 5 player right now. Any good marketing campaign starts with questions about how good he would be playing and being back in Chicago then transition into what he is endorsing otherwise you get this shite show.

Or you don't even necessarily mention the product. You just answer as many questions and get as much camera time as you can while holding/eating/using the product.

You definitely DON'T tell media people you are only there to do an ad for a product, when the media (who aren't reaping any monetary benefit for reporting on said product) don't give a frick what you're pimping.

I know someone who works for red bull and said AD is a marketing robot. Like the Ron Burgundy of athletes. Where another athlete would say "hey, it is pretty stupid for me to do that" AD won't question it as long as the check clears.

I actually think it would be funny if a reporter trolled him by asking really pressing and hard questions about Ruffles

What a weirdo. Zero self awareness and will never be "the man" for any championship team.

Anthony, how do you respond to the critics that say the saturated fat in Potato Chips could contributes to an epidemic of childhood obesity in this country?
