Former NBA coach Phil Jackson is now the spokesperson for ASUS's new "Zenbook" laptop computer. And appearing with him in a national commercial is former Syracuse University basketball player Matt Gorman of Watertown.

Gorman and several teammates from the Scranton (Pa.) Steamers, a professional basketball team, filmed the commercial several weeks ago in Scranton while Jackson was filmed elsewhere. In the commercial, Gorman is wearing number 20 and is on the mythical "State" team playing defense.

The commercial will be airing during the NCAA basketball tournament. The commercial can be seen on youtube.
