OT - New Nike Commercial

Nike has an Olympic commercial out using the Marvin Gaye version of the National Anthem from the 1983 NBA All Star game. It's always been my favorite version of the song. Especially when you hear the audience clapping along late in it. Might not see it too many times on the air as it's 2:30 minutes in length. Enjoy.

Can we sticky an olympic thread? I'm pretty excited for the basketball to begin.

They should play that for Team USA in the lockerroom before each and every game. If that doesn't get 'em amped nothing will. Scary for me that a couple of these guys were not even alive when Marvin brought down the house at the Forum. He could be the hoops version of Kate Smith, Gawd rest their souls.

Create one if you want and will see how it goes.
