Video: New Meets Old

While the NBA “Tour Bus” commercials have been a dud from the start, NBATV continues to provide dramatic spots between timeouts. Both old and new footage are mashed up to create what seems like a single, free-flowing game. There’s only one dunk, which is good–the game has become too centered around the highlight. This commercial gives an array ball fakes, lock-down defense, impressive dribbling, picture-perfect shooting and plenty of emotion. This truly is basketball at its heart. This is why the game will always and forever remain deeply etched in our hearts. (via Awful Annoucing)
