Carlos Boozer & Powerade

While Deron is off doing commercials with LeBron and CP, Boozer needs to talk to his reps about his deal with Powerade. Here's a couple of snapshots from a display I saw (click for bigger),

The one on the left is from the 2004 Olympics. We see Amare on this one along with Booze wearing #7.

The second one has been discussed before. Gone are Carlos' tattoos. And has he ever had his hair like that? He looks more like a video game coverboy than a player.

Now this is likely Walmart's fault. It's always the low price, always. So they're using 4-year old displays. I don't even think Powerade sponsors the Olympics anymore. They're doing their cheapest to push a $.60 sports drink.

I'd be on the phone to my agent asap.

Weak, weak, weak...

What weak attempt by Powerade to stay in the game during the Olympics. I think it’s hilarious they blended out his tattoos. That’s kind of a slap in the face when tattoos tell so much about a person and their upbringing. I’d be on the phone with my agent asking why this is out there and why he hasn’t done anything about it… Then again, maybe Powerade is paying him some good cash to use the old stuff…
