Derek Jeter "RE2PECT"

New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter will cap his Major League Baseball career at twenty years at this end of this season, making tomorrow night last time the Bronx Bomber will stand in the batter’s box of the MLB All-Star Game.

While Jeter dominated the baseball diamond over the years he was known as the key athlete for Nike’s Jordan Brand in baseball. To honor Derek Jeter in his final year, the iconic shoe brand has created the  Pay Your #RE2PECT campaign which will honor Jeter throughout the duration of the season.

Jordan has created a commercial titled “RE2PECT” which collected sports and entertainment stars: Jay Z, Carmelo Anthony, Rudy Giuliani, Spike Lee, Phil Jackson, Action Bronson, Tiger Woods and of course his airness Michael Jordan, to provide a hat tip to the baseball icon. To show how respected he is there is a set of archrival Boston Red Sox hats tipped to Derek Jeter.

The commercial is set to air before Jeter takes the plate tomorrow but of course you can check it out above.
