The NBA will be debuting a new ad campaign this weekend to promote the playoffs. Apparently there will be 20 to 30 new spots in the "Where Amazing Happens" theme featuring OMG moments from the ghost of playoffs past. Here's one of the spots:



That's LeBron dunking on Kevin Garnett's azz in Game 4 of last year's Eastern Conference Finals. I think the grainy black and white look is on purpose.

The other spots will feature all sorts of playoff moments, both recent and old school. I can only hope they have at least one from that magical Warriors-Mavs series in 2007. Perhaps Baron's offensive foul, er, dunk on Andrei Kirilenko?

Thanks much to the folks at the NBA for sharing this sneak peek. And kudos to Goodby Silverstein for the ads. You can catch them on TNT, ESPN, and ABC starting this weekend!

    LBJ is a beast and i think he can dunk over anybody in the league but when he does it over the Big Ticket, that worths everything.
  • HeartofBosh
    That dunk was so hard, it almost knocked LeBron on his ass. You don't see that man fall often.
    • Qwest336
      It was that hard....but really, it was KG pushing him that almost knocked him over! Of course, that wasn't called. Imagine if LeBron got the calls that MJ used to get!!

      Im still waiting on a franchise to call me so I can shut down LeBron for them! LMAO

    While they're at it, they can add LeBron hacking Jason Richardson on his 360 dunk attempt the other night in Phoenix. After the game LeBron said he got "all ball." What a joke!
