Samsung celebrity spokesman LeBron James gives Apple Watches to teammates

Samsung isn’t having the best of luck with one of its paid celebrity endorsements. After NBA player LeBron James last year tweeted that his Samsung phone had erased its entire contents, Cleveland.com reports that he has just chosen an Apple product as a gift for his teammates.

But before they went their separate ways that night of the meeting, James had another surprise. He gave them all brand new Apple watches. 

It was another way of displaying his appreciation for his guys.

It’s not the first time Samsung’s sponsorship deals haven’t generated quite the positive publicity the company had hoped.

I’m from Akron so I guess this should hit home for me (0:18 Swensons represent!). But the marriage between Apple and Beats still feels strange and writing about athlete endorsement videos is out of our usual scope.  This is clearly the Beats creative doing what they do best.

PowerBeats2, which are a $50 upgrade from Monster-produced PowerBeats originals get a charitable 3/5 stars on Apple’s Store and 3.7 stars at Amazon where they are $199.99.
