Wow that is unreal best commerical I have ever seen ,loved every second of it.

[Foster5k]

I liked it.

However, Phil Jackson is not going to coach the Knicks, and Lebron is not going to join the dunk contest.

[CanYouDigIt]

I tear up every time I watch the scene with Harden winning MVP

The part where Kobe retires always gets me LOL'ing.

That was cheezy, they are really pushing the 'hype' factor to an uncomfortable level with stuff like that IMO.

So you mean that it's less likely to happen than Clippers winning this season ?

Yeah it makes me uneasy too for some reason. I can't really put it into words but it kind of trivializes the 'sport' aspect of the NBA in the name of 'entertainment'.

They are having these pro athletes 'act' out potentially significant events, it comes off as extremely phony and your right, I think it trivializes the sport. I can't quite put my finger on it entirely either, but nothing about that commercial sat well with me.

they've got balls to make something like this, rednecks not really ready for this kind of material

you can tell the part where kobe says "retire" is a dub job... not sure they could have gotten kobe to shoot that scene, it's probably all montage

I loved it the first time it as posted. The second time I liked it very much. The third time I liked it. The fourth time I thought it was OK. Now? Meh.

They aren't acting out anything its all cgi. Like harden with the mvp for example when says "I know this is an individual award but I couldn't have donw it without my teammates". That's probably footage from when he won 6th moty just with the mvp award and rockets logo cgid in.
