To be honest, I don't even know why a Cleveland-area business would try to get LeBron James, Kyrie Irving or Kevin Love to appear in its commercials. I mean, Timofey Mozgov is sitting right there, and he is so good at it, especially when "it" includes swatting a plate of food to the ground:
The full run of the Cleveland Cavaliers' hulking Russian center's dialogue in this ad for The Brew Garden:
[swats plate of food to the ground]
Get this weak stuff OUT OF HERE. I am hungry for The Brew Garden. Family food. Fine spirits. Fantastic people. My home away from home? The Brew Garden.
Now, granted, there are a couple of less-than-smooth elements of this production — Mozzy's eyes darting off-camera, presumably to revisit the cue cards, and, of course, the fact that he has to wear his jersey backward so that people know A) he is a basketball player on the local basketball team and B) which player he is — but generally speaking, I think we can agree that this [swats plate of food to the ground] is a slam dunk of a local commercial.
The production values might not quite be on par with the San Antonio Spurs' H-E-B spots, but the pure heart and spirit? That's all here, just like family food, fine spirits and fantastic people are at The Brew Garden. Go there, everyone. Tell them a gigantic Russian sent you.
Hat-tip to John Krolik.
