Oh dear lord. :chuckles:
 
I like how they got a shot of Kyrie's dad at 1:40.

:chuckles:
 
is it just me or it seems like the old lbj and the young lbj all over again?
 
You guys can't tell that was fake?

That was hilarious. And for some strange reason brought a tear to my eye by the end.

That was the first thing I thought of... obviously he's getting into the endorsements from ROTY...guess it's something we'll just have to deal with.

Mostly only us Cavs fans and Duke fans would even recognize him... :spin:

From the YouTube comments:
i was there. they said they were shooting a documentary on the nephew. we thought he was an old guy until he dunked the first time. then i thought it was Ty Lawson...

Not everyone was in on it from the start, nor were they told it was Kyrie Irving until later.
 
Except for the Pepsi Max bottles conveniently placed in the girls' hands or the fact that a team of guys kept passing to some old dude bricking shots.
 
Didnt know that was Kyrie until 2 mins in. "Isn't Kyrie supposed to be in this video"





:chuckles:
 
There's some "Old LeBron" in there; some "Dr. Funk 20 years later" in there; a little of Larry Johnson's "Grand-ma-ma," which was one of my favorite shoe commercials back in the day.
 
Article from The Plain Dealer

That Kyrie Irving is quite a character.
No, really. The Cavs point guard who was just named Rookie of the Year created and plays a character named Uncle Drew in new online videos for Pepsi MAX.

Reminiscent of Wise LeBron in The LeBrons commercials that LeBron James did for Nike a few years ago, the 20-year-old Irving, who was quite a ham while performing in high school musicals back in New Jersey, adds about 60 years and 60 pounds to become Uncle Drew, who shuffles in as a sub during a playground game in New Jersey and then proceeds to dominate the ''young blood.''

The end of the five-minute video, which was written and directed by Irving and features cameo appearances by his father, sister and some of his best friends, includes a segment on the makeup job that ages Irving and makes him unrecognizable to the players on the Clark's Pond Courts in Bloomfield, N.J.

In another example of the prankish side of Irving displayed during parts of his rookie of the year press conference on Monday, the players actually think the camera crew is there filming Uncle Drew's nephew.

It's actually the second in a series Irving is doing for Pepsi MAX, but much more elaborate than the one released around the Super Bowl in February entitled, "What would I do with Pepsi MAX for life?''

Hope this answers your question of why people had Pepsi Max bottles and why they were passing to him.
