To answer an all-too-common question in the comment section: No, LeBron James and Lilly did NOT film this commercial together. They are never in the same room during their takes. Not even once. I mean, that's obvious- but I had to say it anyway, because OMG some of you people are dense.
But more to the point, why was this ad even made? Oh right, because LeBron James agreed to mouth a few lines in front of a camera which could then be spliced in with everyone's favorite Yesterday's Darling Lilly (seriously, enough already. Let's move on please.) And got paid with more money than most of us make in several years for doing it. The result is a cringe-fest which is hard to watch and even harder to listen to. And an ad that makes both people extremely punchable. And making the audience very jealous of the fact that they never had to be in the same room together. We'd like to avoid this too, but as long as we are addicted to watching sports on the weekend, we are kind of stuck with both of them.
