Pierce's "There can only be one" commercial

I have no clue what the other ones will be, but they better hurry up and air any bosh or dirk ones.

If you're looking for the Pierce one, I think that you're more likely to see the commercial on TNT than on CSN. I saw it last night during Spurs/Suns.

Speaking of unintelligible latin, Have you seen that South Park episode, Britney's New Look, where they start chanting like in the OMEN? RECTUS,DOMINUS!

Music doesn't have to have a 120 piece choir, with a full symphony orchestra playing in a minor tonality to be dramatic (and manly). I think the NBA's advertising campaign has been refreshingly contrarian. Same goes for Nike's ads. They've conveyed drama the way good films do.

I'm not saying it all has to be epic...I'm a musician myself and trust me when I say I know when sometimes less is more. But the music they use has a very WNBA-ish vibe to it in some commercials, which I don't like...it creeps me out!

Same here.

Probably their most effective campaign since "I Love This Game".

I think the "There Can Only Be One" campaign is the best one in ages.

They should have used Joe Johnson. He hasn't played well against the C's but I think he is a better player now and more of a Hawk then Bibby. As for why they put a Hawk - just because we are playing the Hawks now.

I agree, at least JJ has been on the Hawks for a few seasons...Bibby has been there 3 months...ridiculous!

Agreed that JJ woulda been a much better fit but like a Hawk fan said earlier Bibby's distinctly ugly face is a lot more recognizable. JJ's the superior player but Bibby's gonna catch the eye of more fairweather fans.

Marketings a bitch. As a basketball fan I'd really like to see Joe get more credit, IMO he's arguably the best kept secret in the league.

Nice, I'm glad it finally got uploaded, it looks like NBA.com is going to put them all up.
This one is another bad match: Jamison & Ben Wallace? Like Bibby Wallace has been a Cav for only a few months, I don't know maybe they could have used that LeBron fella instead.

Howard and Bosh would have ugly babies.

It is called "Everday" by Carly Comando.

I think it is a terrible song. It is totally boring and probably took 15 seconds to write.

It sounds like the background arpeggio for some melody that never appears.
