March Madness is already here and so is the time for the much-awaited Capital One commercial. Notably, Capital One is one of the NCAA’s ‘Corporate Championship’ partners. Over the years, these commercials have received a lot of love and praise for bringing some of their favorite stars together. This year, it is Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Samuel L. Jackson, and Spike Lee reuniting once again.

Magic was quick to post this year’s Capital One commercial on his Instagram account. “You ready to get real this #MarchMadness? @samuelljackson and @officialspikelee, let me hear you say The Magic Mart is the best shop around!”, read the caption to the post. The video features Lee, Barkley, and Jackson visiting Magic Johnson’s Mart.

The commercial begins with a ‘Better Than’ signboard, which is a dig at Barkley’s ‘Chuck Stop’ mart featured in the 2023 commercial for Capital One. The video even shows Chuck stating, “You stole my idea”. It is worth mentioning that Magic’s addition to the crew commercial happened last year only. And it was well received by the fans.

This year too, fans are excited to see the four stars reuniting once again. So much so that one fan demanded for all of them to be in a movie or TV Show together. “I love when y’all get together 😂 #TheGreats,” commented another fan on Magic’s post. It is clear from the comments that the fans can’t get enough of this aspect of the March Madness.

One of the most innocent yet hilarious of these commercials was Charles Barkley at a pickup game with kids. The promo starts with two kids choosing players for their respective basketball teams and the NBA icon gets picked first. “Yes! I still got it… I told you she’d pick me first!”, Chuck exclaims with a child-like excitement.

Another of the most hyped-up ones came after Magic Johnson’s addition. The ‘Make Every Wish Count’ promo featured the 5x NBA champion as a genie who grants a maximum of 3 wishes. While the genie humorously grants Barkley’s wish of having wings, he fulfills Lee’s desire of having box seats to the match by providing them with box seats literally! In the 3rd wish, it’s just Samuel L. Jackson and Magic Johnson enjoying the March Madness.
