The Nike Basketball short film “The Black Mamba,” much hyped in the runup to All Star Weekend, has now been released. Directed by Robert Rodriguez, it’s essentially a hyper cliched exploitation-style plot – multiple villains (Danny Trejo as “The Crippler,” Bruce Willis as “Mr Suave”), set against an urban wasteland reminiscent of Sin City (which Rodriguez directed). The film cuts between action scenes, and shots of Kobe and Rodriguez running through the story boards. The grand finale is firmly tongue-in-cheek, and as sensible as a Mortal Kombat movie: Kanye West as “The Boss,” commanding a team of demon ballers, a helicopter escape, a basketball bomb.
