VIDEO: Kyrie Irving Made Up As "Uncle Drew" In Pepsi Max Commercial

Stay connected for news and updates

Fresh off his 2012 NBA Rookie of the Year award, Kyrie Irving and Pepsi released his latest commercial -- a longer mockumentary clip in which Irving is dressed up as an elderly "Uncle Drew" character who comes off the sidelines at a local playground to teach the youngins at thing or two. It's eerily reminiscent of "The LeBrons" commercial for Nike when James was made-up as Wise LeBron (yikes).

Pepsi also showed behind-the-scenes footage of Irving getting made-up as "Uncle Drew," a process that had to take hours. The Jersey native did a pretty good acting job as well, using an impressive old man voice full of sagacious loquaciousness.

Video of the commercial after the jump:
