Watch Magic, Kareem, Bird, Russell: It’s not complicated [Video]

Basketball Hall of Famers Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Larry Bird and Bill Russell collaborated on a pair of AT&T; “It’s Not Complicated� commercials.

AT&T;’s series of spots typically features actor Beck Bennett interviewing children on the benefits of concepts like “more,� “speed� and “saving money.�

Released Friday, Bennett asks the roundtable of legends, “In basketball, is it better to be bigger or smaller?�

Bennett attempts to high-five each of the significantly taller retired players. The tagline for the ad is the familiar “It’s not complicated -- bigger is better.�

In a second spot, Bennett asks if it’s better to be faster or slower when playing basketball.

While all four agree faster is better, Johnson takes a moment to rib Bird’s relative lack of foot speed.

AT&T; has a playlist of their clever clips available on YouTube.
