...would be much more impactful if Tim Hardaway, Kobe Bryant, and John Amechi were in it.

The NBA "tolerates" gays?

Mighty big of them.

Didn't KingSpeed tryout as the part of the talking balls for this spot?

Haha!

Wrong ad campaign, but I feel so embarrassed for Magic, Dr. J, and whoever else who has to sit in a chair and pretend like they're talking to an animated basketball.

They may as well have had Triump the Insult Dog sitting opposite them. At least then it would be intentionally funny.

The league publicly denounced Kobe and Tim. If they were in a commercial pretending to be cool for the sake of fixing their marketing image, it would make me ill. Much cooler to see guys like Hill or Dudley who didn't have to do it. Makes me like them more.

How could anybody possibly like Grant Hill more? Plus, the redemption arc always plays better than the milquetoast ad that I've watched a few times tonight.

Dudley and Hill both play for Phoenix who has a gay guy in the front office.

I can't wait for the NBA ad supporting man-boy love, or man-horse love. That's when we'll know we have true tolerance.

Do you really think two consenting adults is the same as man-boy, man-horse? Why don't you take your white hood off? You will be able to see easier.

You'd be perfect for that ad.
