Nike's just about to unleash their new ad campaign on the world. Entitled "Courage", the video spot features quick shots of a wide variety of professional and Olympic athletes set against the sounds of the Killers song "All These Things That I've Done". And alongside all-time greats like Michael Jordan, Lance Armstrong, Arthur Ashe, Carl Lewis, Mary Lou Retton and John McEnroe, the Red Sox own Jon Lester makes an appearance.
The accompanying Nike website says of Jon:
FIRST career no-hitter, indeed.On August 31, 2006 , doctors discovered Jon Lester had enlarged lymph nodes, and a few days later he was diagnosed with anaplastic large cell lymphoma. On October 27, 2007, Lester clinched the World Series for the Boston Red Sox. On May 19, 2008, he threw his first career no-hitter.
