Johnson and Jackson have been a lot of commercials (together) for Capital One over the years.
Johnson wrote (on April 6): “Another successful Final Four in San Antonio, TX with my incredible partners at Capital One! I had so much fun shooting this year’s commercials with my friends Samuel L. Jackson, Charles Barkley, Spike Lee and my forever captain and Showtime Laker teammate Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. It was so cool seeing the Magic Blimp flying over San Antonio and the mini blimp in the Alamodome. Thank you to the entire Capital One Team for having me this weekend!”
