NBA basketball player and point guard for the Phoenix Suns Steve Nash doesn’t take himself very seriously. He has starred in a handful of TV ads – including a few for Vitamin Water – where he generally takes the piss out of himself and the typical over-the-top sporting personalities we see so very often.
Now he’s staring in a couple of TV commercials for the third generation Toyota Prius where he proves that you don’t have to be a planet-conscious all-around-good-guy to drive the Japanese brand’s popular hybrid hatch.
In the first of these, he takes a parking space from an old lady in a virtually empty parking lot, just because he can. He then gets out and taunts her, throwing in a little victory dance for good measure.
In the second one he writes something on a boy’s head with a permanent marker when he’s asked for an autograph.
I don’t know much about basketball, but I bet you that Mr. Nash could get a job on Comedy Central once he’s done slammin’ hoops.
You can check out these very funny ads below.
