The Dallas Mavericks rookie and the Boston Celtics legend are starring together in a new commercial for fintech brand Chime, titled <em>&#8220;Ring Chasin&#8217;.&#8221;<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@chime\/video\/7614310594312817934\" data-video-id=\"7614310594312817934\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@chime\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@chime?refer=embed\">@chime<\/a> <p>In our newest spot it\u2019s old school vs. new school \ud83c\udfc0\ud83d\udc8d @CooperFlagg  <a title=\"larrybird\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/larrybird?refer=embed\">#larrybird<\/a> <a title=\"cooperflagg\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/cooperflagg?refer=embed\">#cooperflagg<\/a> <a title=\"nba\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/nba?refer=embed\">#nba<\/a> <a title=\"basketball\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/basketball?refer=embed\">#basketball<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - Chime\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7614310619298188046?refer=embed\">\u266c original sound &#8211; Chime<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ad is as fun as it sounds: Bird, never short on confidence, jokes that he could still lock Flagg up defensively, while the 20-year-old rookie fires back with a jab at Bird&#8217;s legendary, and very dated, 1980s mullet. It&#8217;s the kind of chemistry that makes great advertising, and Chime clearly knew what they had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flagg has been a Chime brand ambassador since June 2025, joining a basketball-heavy roster that includes Jalen Green, Dereck Lively II, and Christian Wood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fintech company has been intentional about building credibility inside NBA culture, and pairing their newest ambassador with one of the sport&#8217;s all-time greats is a bold statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Bird, now in his 60s and rarely in the spotlight, the appearance is a reminder of why he remains one of the most compelling personalities the game has ever produced. Sharp, funny, and utterly unintimidated, even by the next generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just as <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/jayson-tatum-stars-in-back-to-zero-campaign-for-amica\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Devin Booker expanded his brand footprint through a Nike apparel collaboration<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/jayson-tatum-stars-in-back-to-zero-campaign-for-amica\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jayson Tatum brought star power to Amica&#8217;s Back to Zero campaign<\/a>, Flagg is clearly following a deliberate blueprint, aligning with legacy brands and cultural icons early in his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With deals already in place with AT&amp;T, State Farm, and Uber Eats, Flagg is building one of the most impressive rookie endorsement portfolios in recent memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bigger picture here isn&#8217;t just a funny commercial; it&#8217;s a masterclass in brand positioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chime is a fintech platform trying to connect with a younger, financially independent audience, and who better to deliver that message than the NBA&#8217;s most exciting young player? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pairing Flagg with Bird adds instant credibility and nostalgia, bridging two very different generations of fans in one spot. It&#8217;s smart, cost-efficient storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Flagg, the move signals that his team is thinking long-term. You don&#8217;t put a 20-year-old rookie next to Larry Bird for a quick paycheck, you do it to build an image. Accessible, confident, a little self-aware, and ready to compete with legends. That&#8217;s a brand identity that will age well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Could the &#8220;Ring Chasin'&#8221; campaign concept evolve into a longer Chime series featuring other NBA legends and rising stars? Does pairing today&#8217;s stars with NBA legends make for better ads than using current stars alone?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celebrity Names: Cooper Flagg &amp; Larry
