I dunno, I just feel like they could have gotten another few songs to mix it up a bit...



I get embarrassed for her every time I see those commercials. She's the worst. IMO that cover is so bad it makes her completely unattractive.

These are better than the promos that have shots of games interspersed with Prince's God-awful music.

what are your opinions on the State Farm commercials where they wish for things, i think that is probably the worst ad ever, and nobody understands it

THEY DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE AND EVERY SINGLE ONE IS **** STUPID.

Worst commercials ever. Hey I got State Farm, I'll wish for a panda bear and Bob Barker... really that's how it works?


they even had a dumb Lebron one, and wtf is Cashew Wednesdays??

Hahahah Cashew. Casual. And it's so stupid. Just yells "WHAT" in his face when there's so much potential for Office Space humor

That's my favorite too. Partially because I was at the game.

I think they're clever and powerful. The Michael Jordan one where he's crying into the ball (I believe this is after he won his 4th title, the 1st one he won after his father was murdered.), that one is awesome. I also like the big head commericals which I find is funny. But haters will hate.

I'm not a big fan of them, although I kind of liked the celtics/bulls one. I liked these a lot more than those "inspirational" commercials of stars when they were younger, I thought those were pretty dumb. I think the most recent NBA commercials I liked were those ones where they gave the players those giant heads, I liked those a lot for some reason.

The Jordan ad is tasteless simply because they have a talking basketball in it.

It removes the brevity of the moment. Why the hell would you commericialize that of all things??

For these new talking ball commercials, the one that features one of the guys who does the voice of one of the characters on Boondocks, that one cracks me up because I imagine the character (Ed Wunceler or however you spell it) acting it out.

Yea the only good part about the T-Mobile ones is the girl. When the white dude is rapping, the commercial is only watchable for the few seconds it shows the girl dancing. And with the asian dude, he's a dick. Snatches the phone out of hot girl's hands, then yells at his mother... wtf. Americanized Asians...

T Mobile girl somehow has to be integrated into the talking ball commercials. Perhaps her sitting on the ball.

They should have Charlie Murphy narrate every game as the ball.
