This commercial is the GOAT for so many reasons. It perfectly sums up the era. The competitive, tenacity, respect, ridiculous amount of all-time legends playing simultaneously and last but not least the wisdom of the late, great Kobe Bryant. Also reminds me why his peers respected him so much and how much Kobe loved what he did. Mamba Forever
Favorite PF Kevin Garnett I loved how bad Garnett wanted to win at 1:00....... You guy's don't realized how bad he wanted to win that championship. That's a perfect example of making something you want happen
The collections of players: Young and Old. Titles and non-titles. First Ballot Hall of Fame and short burst superheroes. Mixture of positions. Above and beyond. This mixture is crazy.
LEBRON JAMES!!!!! WITH NO REGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE!!!!!!!!!! KOBE HAS TO PUT IT AT THE BUZZER!!!! BANKS IT IN!!! HAHO HE BANKS IN THE 3!!! DWAAAAAYNNEEEEEE WAAAAADEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! (THE PA ANNOUNCER)
So many great players in this video, miss that, and the emotion in garnett face at the end, its priceless. Nate robinson was a player because of whom i believed i could jump and dunk one day, so at those times like 2008 - 2010 (11) i was spending almost every afternoon 1 - 2 hours at streetcourt and trying to do lay-ups and shots, as a kid. Maaaaan, too many emotions now in my mind, too many memories, when i was trying to be better baller. Last summer i came to court after cca 4 years and found out that its like riding a bike, you won´t forget the technique :D
Goosebumps @ 1:00 - 1:10 Garnett is all passion .. Chris Paul is right .. you can see it in his eyes .. Awesome!! Can't stop watching it again & again .. :)
I love playing basketball. I love everything about this game. The love for the game never goes away. It's just a part of me. I thing if you took my heart out, it would be a basketball. The squeaking of the sneakers against the hardwood, the ball bouncing against the hardwood, the sound of the net, the smell of the leather, I just love everything about it. When I'm in between those lines I feel at peace, I feel free, I'm in paradise. That ball and that basket it just makes me complete...
i get shivers everytime! especially at 1:01.... and everytime i'm competing...whether it be against another team in a game...or against myself in a drill that is kickin my ass in practice...i think of lebron's quote "You gain respect by not backin down...and it gets me through it everytime...
just today i watched this video over 200 times! yes and i would say that... I'm between these lines..I cried! The Love, The Passion, The Ambition, & The Dream...Never Goes Away!!.... I LOVE YOU My life and my Heart will stay belongs to the Basketball
JUdging by the date I'd say this is from the 2009-2010 season but it was still great. Nate said "If you take my heart out it'll probably be a basketball" epic. And then Kobe's part right after that. Classic the best parts.
@Max24LW lol...i like how you respect Celtics... but not Miami... Wtf are you saying, have you even seen Miami Games?! They Win not b/c of the Big 3, it's because they help eachother. How do you think they win if only the Big 3 gets all the points? If you respect the Game... Respect every team, don't go around talking shit Because EVERYONE from NBA Has Passion for the Game.
I keep seeing this All Star commercial on TBS and the song sounds like it's from Chicago or at least Peter Cetera singing. Just recently it's been showing a lot on TBS and I really want to know what the song is. Does anyone know?
commercial is really well put together. i wonder if they made one for the 2010-11 season (cuz that was OBVIOUSLY MADE FOR THE 2009-10 season, unlike what the title says)
I think you guys should stop criticizing NBA players for earning all their money. NBA is a business like any other. If people buy your products, you will earn money and therefore pay the ones who work for you. If you dont want them to be payed so much money, then dont watch NBA. I'd say this is a very good commercial. You should stop being so superficial. Only if you look deep inside, you will find the real meaning of this great commercial: 0:48 LeBron traveled...
the squeekingof the ball on the hard wood floor, the sound of flipping my hundred dollar bills after the game, counting my money, buying my wife a new ferrari,going to the store and getting my armani suit, gucci belt...man oh man what a life and all you people will be living your same old life and i will still be making more money than all of you....aaaahhhhh its really an out of body experience to take all this money home...
I play basketball my self and when i saw this movie, i wanted step further and just fight for it, to be one of the best like them, its not just easy to be like them, you need to fight for it (favourite sentences : Kobe Bryant : sqeauking of the sneakers, ball bouncing against the hardwood, Amazingely when the ball goes thru the net, the smell of the leather, all of that, i just love everything about, Just the same feeling i had.
@SASpursGRL21 Kudos for you for having the courage to say this amongst this circle-jerk group on here. Kobe fakeness during these spots is so obvious. And KG is just over-the-top. Meanwhile, LeBron slaps an entire city and region in the face for no reason...a region where he was born and raised and that supported him unconditionally for 7 years. Funny what "basketball" can do to some people. But you won't hear them say it here. That's why this commercial is fake. That's why it SUCKS.
look at these NBA stars, they're all overpaid, they earn 8-20million dollars/yr and look, one point margin. with derrick rose giving his MAX speed, while durant using his efficiency, they earned only a point lead, and on the other hand, team ESP doesn't run, it seems it's on purpose, rudy fernandez, calderon and rubio seemed to be reading different angles of the game, NAVARO's shout out: "you can't see me" =)..... team USA is physically gifted but team ESP ismentally gifted.

@tech2kn0w did u create this video? no. so why is there a problem that an australian tv station took the idea and used it. Because the concept of the commercial is amazing. Let them have some publicity. All you did was TAKE it from TNT and upload it. so dont tell people to spam it and go on that video and write stupid stuff.
The NBA in 2010-11. Where when you cant show emotion no more, or you'll get a technical foul. Like when LeBron got that Technical Foul when they were killing the Magic. WTF was that? You cant react like a normal human being would, or you'll get a Technical foul? WOW!! NBA.. Turning humans into athletic robots since the 2010. Thanks to these new rules.
it will be a great new session to all the teams i cant wait to watch it specially the heats this will be are great session for them i think go go go superheroes....! lets get ready to rumble ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
This video some how got me hyped up. I understand what they are saying i feel the exact same way. well im thirtteen and im no high flyer lol (Short) but when i get that break away everything is just quiet, Finger roll it. ps: Kevin garnnet net look really ugly when he started LOL some how screaming.
@sourpatch2009 Yeah, it's nowhere close to over yet, but it's been great to watch this Spurs team prove all the doubters wrong and play with some intensity and poise against a dallas team that's better on paper, IMO. Hoping for that wcf rematch with LA! Good luck to y'all trying to finish off OKC--that's a scrappy young team right there.
Back then we had Kobe putting on a show in the finals ,a somewhat young KG and other great players with a lot of heart,now we got Bron flopping ,KD that choked w/o Westbrook and Rose that missed a whole season. Even though it was an ACL we saw what Shumpert did and he had the same injury.
notice how all these players are on different teams. back then, every team had a go-to guy. now there are 3-4 superstars on a team. dumb. it was so much fun to watch superstars compete. only the heat, lakers, thunder, celtics, and spurs have a fighting shot. not that interesting.
Not even close... He was undrafted in 2010. He played 2010-2011 with the Warriors. Waived/taken by Rockets in the off-season of 2011, then taken off of waivers by the Knicks and he's playing for them in the 2011-2012 season. The draft of 2012 didn't even happen yet.
Love goes out to B-ROY... but wow, TNT has a lock on these NBA commercials. But obviously the guys that play sold this. Just shows what a divine experience it must be to play in front of millions like these guys do. They sound like they have had an out of body... so cool.
@mrgunsnroses100 can't double Dirk, Mavs have got too many shooters to do that, besides, doubling Dirk wouldn't be that effective, unless you put two players on him literally all the time, because he can catch, turn and shoot, before even one defender reaches him.
@SASpursGRL21 u should actually go away to somewhere where they do not know what basketball is. You obviously have no idea about this game. You think they are playing? well how do you think they got there without all that determination and heart? You have no idea about this game. Why even comment?
@1844life Trust me, I hate LeBron James more than you think, but theres no doubt in my mind that he loves the game of basketball. Basketball is not the media, its not leaving Cleveland for Miami, the decisions he makes, the attitude he has, has NOTHING to do with the game of basketball.
@boyeks allen iverson is the best bit because you can see the passion in his eyes but you can also see the look in his eyes that says im losing my touch mentally he could play against the best but his bodys saying its time to hang it up A.I. really sad he was always one of my favourites
@renzosharpshooter Stop comparing. You can't compare an allaround player and typical Shooting guard, one of the best scorers. They are both great, but LeBron used to play with terrible teammates. Now he has a real chance to get the ring (if he joins Chicago). Btw I'm a Lakers fan, not LeBron's
@sourpatch2009 Yeah, that Lakeshow train's gonna be hard to stop--tough win yesterday vs. the Jazz (Congrats!). Hoping the Jazz can at least extend that series a little cuz my Spurs are gonna have their hands full with Phoenix lol. Imma go with...... Lakers in 5 Spurs in 6 No holds barred WCF!
Can you imagine if we all did a commercial like this for our jobs? - My hate for my job can't be measured man....when i'm at work, I feel...miserable. My hours and my boss make me want to scream. Every day I feel like i'm in hell. That's what it feels like to work at McDonalds.....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I love NBA basketball. The NBA team like the most is the Los Angeles Lakers. The former player I like the most is Jerry West and the present player I like the most is Kobe Bryant. Go Lakers. Ray Ray Duque III (GMBD), New York City
@SASpursGRL21 u only liked duncan cuz ur a spurs fan for 1 and 2 these players ere all interviewed at different times in the offseason/preseason and different things and their responses were pasted together... great fucking video
@bestBudinHoustone Players on bad teams aren't allowed to make the all-star game, no matter how great the stats. Example Chris Kaman and David Lee last year. They only made it due to injuries, but they SHOULD have made it anyways.
@rspurezandwwe with chris bosh and lebron on his team dwade's numbers are going down he guna average between 18-20 ppg but i do agree he is guna be the heat's best player mvp is guna be Durantula or maybe even Kobe if his knee is better
I watch this video every day !! , totally inspiring video :D Kobe , Iverson nd Nate Robinson tha best spiches :) . . and i am just flying !!! :) , and one second what is this fucking great song ???? plz people , fucking need this ;) !_!
KG has so much passion man- nobody like him. he reminds me of how Barkley, Malone, MJ, all the old cats used to be- now the young dogs are all so cool- they act like nothing gets them up. Like they all that. Man KG is everything- but fake he isnt.
ppl we play ball knnow have it is ball is life but my dr said i can not play ball no moro 4 me life but i m like fuck no i m going all the way i can. and when my bady can not do it ill do it more and harder
Its all so true. When you're in the zone, you don't hear anything, see anything, you can only see the hoop. then u turn around, and realize that someone was right in ur face, or theres no time left. You lose your senses.
@MrTorontoRaptor Oh yeah I was just saying that because it's only the 2nd NBA game to ever be played in Canada, in case you wanted to take the trip lol. Anyway can't wait for the next season to start man...
@321eusebiostpc DETROIT AINT MAKIN NO PLAYOFFS ATLANTA WILL BE IN THE PLAYOFFS MAYBE EVEN MILWALKE NOT SURE ON WASHINGTON AND KNICKS I NO THEY GOT AMARE BUT YOU NEED 4 OTHER GUYS AND HE DONT PLAY DEFENSE BUT WILL SEE
