In a new Apple commercial that debuted during Sunday’s Lakers-Rockets game, Michael B. Jordan roasts Kobe Bryant about his battle with “father time.”

Jordan, who starred in Creed, is getting ready to play Kobe in a movie about the soon-to-be retired Laker’s life. He then continually grills him as the conversation progresses, and Kobe kicks him out of the trailer. 

“It’s all ascension” is the perfect quote.
