nbaoffseason:

Good read from Mike over at BuzzFeed:

On the first day of the season, TNT aired the “NBA Forever” commercial, and it was perfect. Since then, a few skilled fans created versions on YouTube showcasing the history of their teams. Are there enough NBA fans with video editing game out there so that every team can get a remix? Note: This is a thinly veiled call-to-action for basketball lovers to make more of these videos immediately.

I couldn’t agree with him more & it sure looks as though the gauntlet has been thrown down, especially when considering the tremendous quality we have seen in the first couple of editions made.

If you’ve created one of these videos, or know of one that has been made, pass a link along to our email at playoffsblog@gmail.com or in the reply box to this post. Let’s have one of these videos for every team by the All-Star break. If we can make this happen, I promise you we will not only link to your work, but maybe even have a tourney where we let your fellow NBA fans decide which one they like the most.

So, if you had the ability to green light just one of these tributes, what team would it be for? Lakers? Celtics? Knicks? How about the Sonics?

YES.

Is the NBA’s widely well received opening day ad becoming a meme? Got ‘Em Coach posted a Golden State Warriors version earlier, too. 

28 more teams to go, internet. And I know I could listen to that song 28 more times.

Sometimes I think being a sports photojournalist would be a pretty good job.

Billy Baldwin was on hand at the Penn State campus today to pay his respects to Joe Paterno. He didn’t know the family well. He had dinner at the Paterno’s one time. He showed up looking like this.

I wish I liked anything as much as Kevin Love likes the power forward position.
