Best NBA Commercials This Season

Over the course of the year, the NBA has made several great commercials, and NBA players have participated in their own marketing ventures. Here are the ones that I think are the best.

Kevin Durant, Sprint Commercial


KD hates Doodle Jump. You know why? Because you missed his game winner, obviously. Oh, and because he can't catch the guy.



The KobeSystem


What exactly is the KobeSystem? Is it just a shoe? Is it a provocative set of philosophical knowledge? Or is it the ability to successfully take on three defenders at the end of a game for the winning shot?


Okay, nevermind. It's not that last one.


I Think We Found Kyrie Irving


Go through your couch cushions right now and see what you can find. You'll likely find some paper scraps and four pennies. Mike Breen? He found Cavs rookie sensation Kyrie Irving, who had taken up residence in the RV's couch. Hey, maybe that's where LeBron was hiding in the 4th quarter of the Finals. (BOOM!)

Happy Together


I've always loved the big-head commercials, but this one might be the best, even if it's only for the end part with KG.

NBA Forever


This might be the greatest commercial ever. Seriously, the editing is fantastic, the effort into it is apparent, and it captures the full history of the NBA in two minutes of strung together clips. But seriously, adding Derrick Rose to the Jordan/Pippen Bulls? That's just not even close to being fair; that team never loses.

There are probably other great commercials that I'm missing because I've either forgotten them or haven't seen them due to TV market, etc. However, you know what commercial/marketing ploy might be the worst?

INSANITEAGUE?!?! COME ON, ATLANTA!! THIS IS WHY NO ONE TAKES US SERIOUSLY!! (well, that, and the bad drafting, idiotic ownership, poor attendance...)
