Darryn Peterson, the projected first pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, and three-time NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas collaborated in Adidas' latest commercial. The duo appeared in an advertisement for the giant sportswear brand's Crazy Lite Shorts, posted on Instagram on Monday.

The ad also featured Gilbert Arenas talking about the shorts before Peterson showed off his dunking ability, crashing the backboard, just like the four-time NBA Champ, Shaquille O'Neal used to do.

Check out the video posted by Adidas Basketball in collaboration with Arenas and Peterson:

"Yeah, we crazy good 😏🩳 Crazy Lite Shorts out now! Shop through @adidasBasketball’s link in bio." the post was captioned.
"How light are the crazy lites, they're asking. Mr. Peterson, care to show us?" says Gilbert Arenas in the ad.

Peterson went on to slam down one-handed and two-handed dunks right before rising up and slamming the ball down to break the backboard.

"D**n that's crazy," said Gilbert Arenas before the ad ended.

Gilbert Arenas' eldest daughter, Hamiley Arenas, finished her debut season for the Notre Dame Sherman Oaks. The Sherman Oaks had an underwhelming season, finishing with a 12-16 overall and a 0-10 record in the California Southern Section Mission Basketball League.

However, the young Arenas averaged a double double with 23.3 points, 3.1 assists, 10.5 rebounds, 2.8 times and 0.9 blocks per contest, in 25 games.

She was also included in the Scouting Report second-team All-State, along with Lev Feiman, Delany White, Jade Fort, Nyemah King, Adyra Rajan, Karisma Lewis, Asia Darcuiel, Kailee Staniland, Baiani Cordova and Aaron Finley.
