Forward didn't mind being dunked on by Heat's Wade, since it was for a paid commercial.

SEATTLE -- Most players dread the prospect of being dunked upon.
On the flip side is the Clippers' Paul Davis, a second-year forward from Michigan State, who gainfully played the good sport for a commercial featuring the Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade.

In the Gatorade ad, Wade is playing the Clippers when two sides of his conscience pop up, one advising him to pull up for a jump shot, the other urging him to go to the lane.
The choice is clear when he drives past Shaun Livingston via a pick by Heat teammate Udonis Haslem and delivers a dunk over Davis' outstretched arms.
So how exactly did Davis' involvement come about?
"I got a call from my agent wondering if I wanted to do a commercial with [Wade] and I said, 'Yeah' " Davis said.
"He said, 'The only thing is . . . you kind of, sort of, get dunked on.' "
"I said, 'Well how much is it for?' And he told me and I said, 'I'll get dunked on for that.'
i wonder how much he got.
