This manages to be artistically awful,disrespectful to the other teams that got eliminated,while also not hyping up the teams that made the Finals or the product itself.

I'm surprised that the genius who made this still has a job,as well as why did they actually provide it to the public in any form.

Terrible music, terrible animation. It's more than weird, it's just downright awful.

So bad, it's good. I'm entertained by how stupid it is and especially coming from ESPN

Maybe we should give AI another year or two before rolling it out?

Can we all agree that the NBA does a terrible job advertising for its brand? There are better way to advertise a company than just shoving only 3 teams on TV. Judging by this material, sounds like it's not going to get better.

Feels like the first episode of Fear and Loathing in NBA2k instead of the NBA Finals.

LeBron's gonna be 41 and the NBA media machine is still going to cover him like its the 2010's. Like Christ, let some new guys in and hype TEAMS not just PLAYERS. That's part of why the NFL is more successful.

AI produces such soulless nonsense.

If a real person made that I don't apologize. I doubt they could pass a Turing test.
