I am not the biggest basketball fan, but I did sit through most of the playoff game last night with the Lakers and the Celtics. Kobe Bryant is amazing, but there is just something about him that I don’t like. That’s a whole different story, though.
I watched the game so I could watch the commercials during the commercial break. And to see what celebrities decided to make the trip to Boston… The NBA has the absolute best commercials right now! The split screen of two players giving the same speech was an absolute genius move by Goodby Silverstein & Partners. It is such a simple idea that was executed so well. It also allowed them to match up different players faces depending on who was playing.
Or, just match up players who have an interesting history. For example, Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant. When Kobe joined the Los Angeles Lakers right out of high school, Shaq acted as his mentor. Now, with each player on a different team, a rivalry has formed. It makes this Joker-esque commercial almost comical.
But, there can only be one. And it was Kevn Garnett.
