November 1st, 2004

Television commercials and print ads show LeBron James traveling through the Chamber of Fear attempting to overcome five of his greatest fears. For the feature on Nikebasketball.com, we created a full digital version of the Chamber, both inside and out, integrating the print advertisements as downloadable wallpapers. Inside the Chamber, visitors were able to watch the five television commercials as well as the complete 90 second spot. We also created an interactive game with players assuming the role of LeBron’s character, The Chosen One, and venturing through each level of the Chamber. Upon completion, they register to receive a LeBron prize pack which includes an R/GA-designed poster based on the website’s Chamber of Fear artwork. The feature on Nikebasketball.com served as a central hub for the Chamber of Fear campaign, uniting all of the different forms of media in an immersive, interactive experience.
