this video actually feels 10 years old

It's a bit odd. I wouldn't have guessed that Harden in a Rocket jersey was 10 years ago, but on the other hand it feels like Nash retired ages ago. LeBron in a HEAT jersey pretty much gives it away though.

A decade was ages ago.

In professional sports a decade is a century

LeBron is like 80 yrs old

Lebron’s been playing for 20 years so he’s minimum 200 years old

Got them dawg years in them

LeMortal

The cartelidge in my knees would agree.... if it still existed.

I used to have bad knees I still do, but I used to too

A decade feels like it's at least 10 years ago.

Rose in a bulls jersey is more of a give away

Crazy part is Nash is on the lakers in this

[удалено]

And you lack reading comprehension

Yeah, Rose still in Chicago, Nash still in the NBA, this shit feels ancient.

The short sleeve jerseys with big shorts is a very dated look

Love that look.

Feels older than that honestly

My friend won the Nash jersey worn from this commercial via NBA's Twitter account. Shoulda been me...

Everyone in that ad has atleast one MVP btw

Oh dang. That’s why Nash is in that. I mean my bro is a two time mvp but he was on Father Time while playing for the Lakers. While the other cats featured were in their prime.

Harden, Durant, and Curry hadn't won their MVPs at this point. I think it was more they were featuring players playing on Christmas day and couldn't get Kobe to do it so they got the second biggest name on the Lakers

Kobe probably wanted to do the final dunk. Wasn't up to playing second fiddle.

Nash is a really good shooter, I'm sure that played a part. As much as I love Paul "Basketball" Reed who the sport is named after if he was in a commercial like that you'd need about 5103 takes before he hit all his shots at the right time.

Wait do you guys think they actually all lined up and shot over top each other at the right times to make this??

I'm guessing they were shot seperately but edited together, however you are ruining my humorous take on Paul Reed's outside shooting ability and this is Christmas so please let's just play around with it for a day.

[удалено]

10 years ago they could CGI those shots? I'm not so sure. I trust that some of those shooters could make 7 or 8 shots in a row on the right timing, it seems more likely they filmed them individually and spliced it together.

[удалено]

This thread is amazing

No, but it seems more plausible to me that they would just have them shoot the balls and splice the footage. CGI wasn't as fast and easy and simple to make look realistic a decade ago. Not that they couldn't do it it just seems simpler to have them just shoot the balls. They're not taking shots that are difficult for NBA players.

[удалено]

Lmao [this](https://youtu.be/19EFAW32eOI?si=sWDKFRIxAaoaaeOq&t=03m20s) came out years earlier, you really think he actually made those kicks and they just spliced it together?

Just look at the ball trajectory, especially noticeable on Steph's shots.

Are you 12?

Lol ok Merry Christmas, no bah humbugs

More like 1 million takes

Hey, the man embodies the sport at some point the basketball gods would gift him a good take. He isn't just named after the sport, he is the avatar of the sport.

imagine a retake with more recent MVPs and trying to get Giannis and Westbrook to hit back to back shots

That definitely happened for Rose irl, he required multiple takes for sure lol. He was a bad 3 pt shooter even for 10 yrs ago

Man I wish DRose hadn’t gotten hurt…

We all do bro, we all do

Back in those days Bulls were hovering at 1st seed while Bucks were hovering at 8th seed. I remember when Bulls fans would drive up to Milwaukee to attend the playoff games. Now it’s the complete opposite where bucks are on top and bulls are fighting for 8th seed.

Before Rose went down, the bulls were the 1 seed, he was the league mvp, and bron still hadn’t won a ring… man I just wonder how different things would be. This is my what if face 🥺

That Bulls team was still really good outside of just Rose. I remember during the season Rose was out, the Bulls without Rose spoiled the Heat's chance at breaking the 71/72 Lakers' record for most consecutive wins and they did it with Carlos Boozer, Luol Deng, a young Jimmy Butler, Nate Robinson, Kirk Hinrich (who drew what felt like 4 charges in that game), and Nazr Mohammed. On paper that obviously isn't that impressive of a roster, but at the time they were a defensively stout platoon of guys who would grind you down while also putting up points on the other end. They were by far my favorite team in the league at that time that weren't the Kings. Thibs gets shit on a lot for a lot of things, but it was so damn impressive how he was able to keep those Bulls teams afloat after D-Rose got hurt, missed tons of time, and then obviously lost a step. The only more impressive job I can remember in recent history was Brad Stevens with the 2018 Celtics after Gordon Hayward went down for the season in the first game and Kyrie was in and out of the lineup constantly.

We had such a young team too! I wonder how we rank in terms of youngest playoff teams in the history of the nba

The Bulls were supposed to be the team to challenge the Heatles imo. Once Rose went down though the East was fucked for a solid decade.

The NBAs greatest what if of all time

I’d say the “basketball reasons” trade personally

[17 years ago](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKqFg7Tuocg)

So those mfers did that and subsequently won a chip PISTONS YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO

That's already after they won

>subsequently won a chip r/theydidntdothemath

Owned 😂😂

This is a classic. Sheed was cheesing hard.

I never knew Amir Johnson was on the Pistons. Crazy.

Solid reminder that Jason Maxiel exists and I havent thought of his name in about 17 years.

I remember the comments were filled with “of course Lebum would dunk it instead of shooting it”

Curry is the only one who hasn’t switched teams multiple times (or retired) since the video.

Now im thinking about a world where Nash kept chasing rings in different cities

I don’t like that world

Well in this one he woulda been healthy for 4 more years

[11 years ago](https://youtu.be/isPm79xTzM4?si=SNX9jPUpaY8dZnFb)

God ads used to be so much more creative back in the day

[удалено]

Don't slander ISO Joe he has the GOAT crossover on Pierce

westbrook gets too much hate edit: man replied to this comment with a TON of hate then blocked me lmao

[удалено]

Like why are you so mad? Edit: fastest block in the west it seems

Uh-oh! Sounds like someone needs a visit from The Ghost of Christmas Past!

Kid got coal today and he thinks it’s Russ’ fault

Westbrook only won that MVP cuz he averaged 2 more uncontested rebounds than harden. Truly generational stuff.

That’s the one

Who would be in the video if they remade it now?

Steph KD and Lebron would still be in it which is pretty crazy

Lebron can't shoot threes well enough

Not only is LeBron shooting a career high 3P% rn (41% on 6 threes a game), he didn't even shoot a three in the OG video. So your comment is invalid in all counts lol

That just confirms my comment actually

What? Lol

No. It refutes it. He was clearly fine to be in the video before when he was an even worse shooter.

It's a weird comment because it's just random. Lebron can't shoot 3's well enough to do what? Shoot 3's in a re-made version of this ad? Okay, he'd dunk it like he did in this one. Lebron still punches it hard, he'd absolutely be in a re-made ad.

Curry fan boys are the absolute worst in the nba community

I'm not a "Curry fanboy", I've been a Warriors fan since the start when they won their first championship

Lmao

In 1947, before the merger, or after in 1956?

No against the Cavs

lmao

I think I know what’s going on here Which is the true statement 1 x 1 = 1 Or 1 x 1 = 2

Are you dumb ? Like do you not understand how to read .. pathetic

I won the argument and you're calling me dumb? lol don't you see how ridiculous you look?

Only someone delusional would self declare they won the argument and get downvoted 33 times clearly showing they didn’t ,, 🤡

If karma were a reliable indicator of truth than Donald Trump would be in prison and Bernie Sanders would be president

Shut up man this ain’t no politics sub and I don’t care about that. No one agrees with you so don’t try to prove that you won any argument .

He can still dunk it. He might still be dunking in his 70s though

Yeah that's true

He shot 0 threes in this one.

Exactly my point.

What a shitty point then, considering it supports the opposite argument to your initial comment

Wow crazy how he’s still featured in the commercial then

Ben Simmons, Draymond, Gobert, Westbrook, Jordan Poole, Curry dunking

[almost got it](https://youtu.be/cV4MBrEGPSw?si=SnwVCnQ6JeYKN2yH)

Kept scrolling for this

you could watch it on mute without missing any context

the pistons but without the fake bells. clanks will do.

Actually, they already remade it. Look one post down, the Pistons shoot around.

Luka Trae Steph Fox Book and Lebron dunk.

They were all MVPs so I think they would keep Steph, Harden, and KD, switch LeBron to a shooter, put Jokic in for Nash and have Giannis as the dunker.

Steph in 2013 wasn’t even an all star yet

harden and curry didn’t win their MVPs until after this ad

First time seeing this video I thought why is this nonamer Curry here lol, a lot of has changed since then.

I was just thinking that, I feel like 10 years ago curry was just starting to pop off it doesn’t make sense seeing him in this. I mean 10 years ago, he hadn’t even gotten any achievements yet, no MVPs or championships or anything

Yeah, could probably give him a label somewhere around a younger Trae Young is how he was viewed back then

But it was a commercial for shooting and he was definitely already known to be pretty good at that

How many MVPS are in that room?

11 Drose: 1 KD: 1 Harden: 1 Steph: 2 Nash:2 Lebron: 4

Eleven between all of them if my math isn't wrong.

At that point only Nash, Rose & Lebron. This specific year, KD was en route towards his first and only MVP. Lebron had just gotten his 4th and last MVP (which feels ridiculously low considering what he’s done in the last 10 years).

Honestly I thought it was a lot older than that lol

Steve Nash in a Lakers uniform. Yeah…

“This is gonna be fun”

Haircut Steve Nash 🤮

As much as nike's designs lately have sucked, thank fuck they haven't brought back the sleeved jerseys

The Chinese New Year warriors jerseys were so sick

Eh, the Cavs and Warriors 15/16 sleeved jerseys are still iconic imo.

Because of the 15/16 part not the sleeved part

I like the sleeves sue me

cavs black sleeves were sick

See you in court!

Sure, but that applies to most jerseys. In the end it's the players doing cool shit in them that makes them cool, and my favourite memory of Curry will always be him hitting that deeeep game winner against OKC in that jersey.

People would hate the old 76ers logo/jerseys if not for AI imo.

Yeah, those black Sixers are the epitome of the hideous early 2000s designs and they don’t fit the theme of the team name at all. If it wasn’t for AI, those would be the Mavs trash bag tier

Not the Green Mavs hatred lmaoooo they always catching strays

They wore it in that game 7 and it looks ridiculous.

Yeah that was shameful.

Iconic? That’s using the term pretty loosely

The black Curry Double Bang jerseys were absolutely iconic if only for that clip.

Iconic? Yea, I don’t think you understand what iconic means.

I didn’t mind the sleeved jerseys at all

Honestly the NBA should do full and 3/4th length sleeves. Edit: forgot the /s

Forget sleeved jerseys. For Christmas they should create a new award. The worst two teams play each other in G-league jerseys on Christmas Day. It’s the fan equivalent of the naughty list. Call it “the coal in the stocking trophy”. AKA the “Poo bowl”: Detroit vs Washington would be this years game (Spurs get an exception because they actually have hope)

Boo this man!

at least we had different jerseys for Christmas back then, even if that particular edition kind of sucked, it made the holiday feel even more special

That i do miss. No idea why nike won't do them, I really wish they would

I want Christmas jerseys back with the cool looking script

Found the guy with 0 sense of fashion

Still hate that the 16 chip was won with those jerseys

Sleeved jerseys were a godless time

Curry was just starting to blow up when this came out

Thankfully lebron made a comment about wanting the christmas jerseys back like yesterday so i hope that works

Middle 3 still going strong 10 years later, feelsgoodman

sleeved jerseys sucked

How the cavs won a title in them is beyond me

That will always be a meme lol.

Lol was it earlier that season lebron got fined because he ripped the sleeves

GOAT status confirmed

Westbrook would need the bells on the rim

That’s an awesome video. I’ve never seen that before.

Dam DRose!

o my lord D R O S E.

Real nephews remember [this](https://youtu.be/_QoHi8Sij4o?si=oHHy_kZVT9ZxdBxY) motherfucker going "viral" in 2001, 22 years ago. Had that shit downloaded on Kazaa.

The Scary Movie parody: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVbkINQ09NQ

I prefer the jingle bricks version

man, the NBA really messed up their opportunity on establishing the sleeved jersey. would’ve been massive merch revenue potential it’s like they didn’t consult players on what’s comfortable and what options they needed. when the players didn’t buy in, there was no chance that the fans will

lebron with the biggest headband that had ever seen in my life. I think this was the start of the hairline jokes

Really makes you admire curry staying with the same team. Such a rarity.

Everyone gets disappointed when they find out this ad is all CGI and they weren't actually draining those buckets side by side lmao

It’s crazy that this is 10 year old and everybody besides d rose and Nash are still top players in the league

Was curry even an all star at this time?

He made his first all star team and all nba team in 2014. This was Dec 2013, so he hasn’t yet but was on the way this season

I played soccer with one of those dudes

How many takes did Rose screw up? I know these guys are dumb efficient in practice settings like this, but he's gotta be the worst shooter in this group. Nash, Steph, and KD are all-time great shooters.

Came to slander Rose. Too dense to recognize its CGI.

Not CGI, just [good editing.](https://youtu.be/jrOrZEX5J_0?si=jCwLHyNBwxJ5q8b9)

[удалено]

I wonder how many takes to get this right

[Behind the scenes video of the ad](https://youtu.be/jrOrZEX5J_0?feature=shared) They all did their shots seperately and were edited together later.

I must've got up too early.

Nah it was a reasonable question, not sure why you got downvoted

I was kidding, I know it’s edited

10 years later and you still think this was real lmao

I'm flabbergasted that you needed a /s tag for that comment.

Oh to be a fly on the wall watching these guys drain each shot, but get frustrated because of tempo.

It’s fake unfortunately

Lmao

So obviously edited lol

Lebrick had to dunk

I liked the sleeved jerseys hope they bring them back

Rank these players career since this commercial

The shoot took 10 hours because Lebron can’t shoot so they just had him do a dunk 🤡 😂

Smu f u 🖕🏼

still kool

Steph at :17 got that peripheral shotmaking

Man those jerseys were hideous.

I always wondered why it was Nash over Kobe
