The term "instant classic" is overused, but I'm not sure how else to describe this new Nike Basketball commercial released for Kobe Bryant's last game. In "The Conductor," the Los Angeles Lakers star hits a game-winning jumper on the road, then conducts a chorus of angry hecklers. It might immediately be one of your favorite basketball-related ads ever. 

Watch:

The concept -- and the "always love the hate" tagline -- is extremely Kobe. He does a pretty good acting job, too. What makes this great, though, is the guest stars. Paul Pierce, Phil Jackson, Benny the Bull and ... Rasheed Wallace?! This couldn't have been cast better, unless Smush Parker was involved.

Anything Rasheed Wallace is involved in is great. (Nike Basketball)
