NBA superstars crash pick-up games in new commercial

Found October 24, 2011 on NESN.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Dwyane Wade,  Chris Paul,  Carmelo Anthony
TEAMS: Miami Heat,  New Orleans Hornets,  New York Knicks

Via NESN:

NBA players continue to have plenty of free time with the league's lockout still ongoing and not really showing any signs of ending very soon. The lack of a functioning league isn't keeping some of the game's best from getting a run in, though. 

Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul andCarmelo Anthony all star in a new Jordan commercial titled "Love the Game," in which the All-Star triumvirate is shown playing some pickup hoops in their respective cities.

The three get in on some pickup games and lend some help to teams in leagues like: 

Flamingo Sr. Rec Center League
Bayou Women's League
Jewish Under-40 League

Well done, gents. Well done.

During the 1998-99 lockout, Nike put out several now-classic ads poking fun at our need for the game. Samuel L. Jackson and Spike Lee were (and are) more famous than most of us, but their passion at a driveway game of HORSE or little Regina Miller's middle school game wasn't so different from our own.
