Context is important - I'm 36 years old and when I walk into a corner store and see Sprite I think to myself "Grant Hill drinks Sprite?" hahah ....I love that commercial.
I can bet a large majority of us in the comments who remember this commercial from our childhood are now between the ages of 35-44 years of age. I'm 38 right now and this commercial was on every single day when I was in Highschool.
I’m 45 years old. I stayed in Seattle for summer when I was in college. The TV commercial played all the time and the slogan “Grant Hill drinks Sprit” became part of my best memory of the summer.
I am of same age, played Basketball in collage in India. This commercial proved all other commercials wrong. I started playing again last year after I moved to Germany, infact I play better now as I am much stronger but lack the speed, stamina and flexibility of youth. Do you still play?
Man, pretty great video quality for such an old commercial (not to mention, this was uploaded in 2009, even most of the Vevo videos back then only went up as high as 480p, which is what this one is), and although it was uploaded in '09, the commercial is probably from '95!
@Igbo Thunder Grant Hill won't have the accomplishments like James but he had a sick cross-over and a quick first step every time. And it looked so unfair for the guy guarding him everytime.
Sprite knows its a damn good beverage. No frills. They hire spokes people probably just to write it off on its taxes. But they straight up tell you its delicious
Grant Hill was an amazing athlete and NBA player. That is.. until he was endorsed by Sprite and seemed to almost be cursed and riddled with knee injuries for the rest of his career.

We used to say out loud "Sprite!" when someone gets blocked by a rim.
David Lee yup lol

📠 90’s shit
Context is important - I'm 36 years old and when I walk into a corner store and see Sprite I think to myself "Grant Hill drinks Sprite?" hahah ....I love that commercial.
Man I totally forgot about this commercial. Memories.
Still one of the best commercials I've ever seen in my life! lol
This is my favorite commercial from my childhood.
Minds too

I can bet a large majority of us in the comments who remember this commercial from our childhood

single day when I was in Highschool.
38 as well, great memories.
36 i remember seeing it as a kid in Germany
So were Sprite commercials. But Grant Hill made them SPECIAL! Now I shall go back to the basketball court and practice missing dunks 🤣
42 here. Something else I saw today that was really funny randomly triggered the memory of this commercial. So I came here.
42. Yep
I'm here from the "All The Smoke" interview with Grant Hill!!
This commercial is a classic.

Best commercial of all time.. short but perfect! Best of my childhood and my memories..
Anthony Edward’s drinks Sprite now
Haven't seen this since it first aired. Nostalgia attack!
this was one of my favorite commercials. great post. awesome quality
word to your mother it is! i saw it in spanish back then in the 90s
Still think of this when I see sprite
A friend of mine met him recently and all that I could think about was this commercial.
When i see or hear Sprite, almost everytime i think of Grant Hill, since i saw this commercial in my childhood. Really crazy.
boy never stood a chance to make that dunk ... what the hell was he thinking
"Cereal-induced Superpowers", a trope he was trying to invoke...But Sprite doesn't do that here
this commercial is hilarious, i remember watching it back in the day! lol. thanks for the upload
Probably one of the most effective commercial sprite has every marked.
Anthony Edwards commercial brought me here
It was the look on his face and how he sounded as he was falling for me😂😅😂😅😂
Anthony Edwards brought me here
if you want to get in the NBA , don't drink soda
good advice
I remember a G League player once telling me that.
Man, pretty great video quality for such an old commercial (not to mention, this was uploaded in 2009, even most of the Vevo videos back then only went up as high as 480p, which is what this one is), and although it was uploaded in '09, the commercial is probably from '95!
😂😂😂 i miss commercials like this.
I remember this commercial! A kid (that I sat behind in class) at school, had a Grant Hill jersey and I used to think that "Hey it's Grant Hill"
i'm feeling very nostalgic lately i have been looking for old commercials and music videos from back in the day
A part of my childhood
I now realize I misheard this as a kid and wasted my whole life trying to drink enough Sprite to get into the NBA...
Nostalgic indeed
this is one of the best ads, Grant Hill drinks Sprite? LOL Good Times
Am I the only one that thought Grant Hill was going to come out with some FILA GH1 Sprite colored shoes??
That would be a dope concept.
These Sprite cans in the late 90s were better than today's all green versions.
Best commerical
Classic!
This and the kriss kross sprite commercial are pure genius
That Kriss Kross Sprite commercial was so dope. That was circa 1993.
I was just drinking Sprite and it made me think of this commercial 😂
Nostalgia
without injuries, he'd have:
35 ppg, 10 rpb,10 apg, 2 bpg, 2 spg, 50% fg, 40% 3p, 90% ft,
7 rings (7peat) 7 mvp 7 fmvp
I have no idea why this commercial popped into my head. But I'm glad it did 😂
Grant Hill drank Sprite, so I started drinking Sprite.
Laker playoff game commercial brought me here
I still say this and I’m 42
i remember this
Grant Hill was Lebron before Lebron was a thing
Big Gay Boy L
Facts Grant Hill was a walking triple double,NBA wanted him to be the face of the league
@Igbo Thunder yes you are
@Igbo Thunder Grant Hill won't have the accomplishments like James but he had a sick cross-over and a quick first step every time. And it looked so unfair for the guy guarding him everytime.
Waiting for someone to make the side by side of this and the new Ant man commercial
Grant Hill don't actually drink Sprite... probably never drank a can in his life
Joey boy!!
Look at my homie!!! lol
Even sprite looked better
Still a great commercial.
That poor guy!😂
Shieeeet it is so sad that he retired.
Sprite knows its a damn good beverage. No frills. They hire spokes people probably just to write it off on its taxes. But they straight up tell you its delicious
Reminds me of my first dunk attempt. 😅
Wonder if he'll go back to making Sprite commercials :D
"If you wanna make it to the NBA..."
Practice!
@clasyc thanks! :)
Came here after Draymond in G4 against the Rockets, Western Conference Finals

Εντάξει αλλά σαν το Κανάκη που πίνει φακες δεν εχει
Ο Κανάκης πινει φακες
Was the sprite the cause of the injuries 😂
Grant Hill was an amazing athlete and NBA player.
That is.. until he was endorsed by Sprite and seemed to almost
be cursed and riddled with knee injuries for the rest of his career.
ankle injuries bro
Kobe & Tim had the Sprite commercial with Missy Elliott also.
Coming here After Lebron fail dunk against the bulls 😂😂😂😭😭😭
