ok, well seeing what i said was sooooooo (sorry, so, immensely) illiterate, I will translate my original post.

Can anybody on this forum remember a commercial, most likely promoting Nike or Adidas, that depicted an NBA player explaining why he is so brilliant? Some memorable quotes were "i never admit defeat", though i'm not quote sure what was said word for word.

See! It is possible to type in English if you actualy try.

And I would suggest using google to find out who said it, and what commercial it was. Just make sure you put the entire quote you remember in quotation marks...

Was it the one where Kobe says stuff like "Hate my game. Hate my family. Hate my guts. blah blah blah"?

I see this commercial still..it features kobe talking about "hate me for my fade away shot" and all sortsa bull like that. He's in a gym working out and practising jumpers.
