Produced by Industrial Light & Magic, the commercial featured a giant-sized version of NBA star Charles Barkley challenging Godzilla to a game of basketball in the streets of downtown Tokyo.

Industrial Light & Magic began production on the commercial after Nike, Wieden + Kennedy, Barkley, and Toho approved the proposal.

In response, the monster dons a pair of pink goggles and prepares for a basketball game, in which the two will use the O from a Tokyo sign on a building as their hoop.

Barkley tells Godzilla that "the Lakers are looking for a big man", and the spot concludes with the Nike swoosh logo.

The Godzilla costume comprised many foam rubber pieces, and puppeteers produced the monster's facial expressions with radio control devices.
