Does Nike Think Lebron Smokes Rocks?

Alright, so I’m figuring that pretty much everyone in the world has seen the new Nike commercial featuring Lebron and a host of others doing his well-known chalk toss in the air. In the ad there is also a song in the background that repeats the lyric, “the Candyman is back.” Aside from the Lil Wayne cameo, I took a certain implication away from this commercial and that implication is where I came up with the Chappelle Show reference. I’m just trying to figure out what Nike was thinking in playing a song with the word “candyman” set to a man throwing white powder into the air like a scene from Scarface. They might as well have played some Andre Nickatina Ayo For Yayo. That’s what came to my mind and I haven’t even watched Blow in like 7 hours. Here’s the commercial followed by the possible Nike implication.
