I know this commercial because I am a huge NBA basketball fan. I remember the crew mentioning it on a CGS episode, but not knowing the athlete featured. The player is superstar Dwayne Wayde of the Miami Heat. He was given the nickname Flash by his then teammate Shaquille O'Neal (geeks may know him as the star of Steel and Kazaam fame...thank god he gave up Hollywood to concentrate fully on basketball). Shaq kind of self-proclaimed himself "Superman" and even has a Superman symbol on his shoulder, he is apparently a fan of comics, and loved the idea of he and Wayde being Superman and Flash. And oh yeah, Wayde is pretty fast.

Most of my life revolves around theatre (especially musicals), comics, friends and podcasting. See that cool Elvis collar? That's me as Nightwing - my favorite character is Dick Grayson, my favorite company is DC, my favorite color is purple, I'm a Scorpio, Latino and love long walks on short sidewalks.
