With the NBA season tip-off slated for Christmas day, it’s finally that time of year when NBA teams create some pretty imaginative and entertaining promo videos to help drum up some enthusiasm for the upcoming 66 game season.
For example, the NY Knicks public relations department did such a bang up job with the newest Knickerbocker on MSG promo video, that I’m sure kids and adults alike, all across the NY metro area, are doing their best Patrick Chewing impersonation as we speak.
With the Boston Celtics potentially seeing their magical run with Garnett, Allen, and Pierce come to an improbable end at the conclusion of the upcoming season, it goes without saying that the head honchos of the Celtics had to come up with some sweet promo videos to invigorate the home crowd in Beantown.
What better way to whip up enthusiasm for the green and white than to poke fun at their mortal enemies…the Lakers? For good measure, they also decided to poke fun at everyone’s favorite whipping boy Lebron James and the Miami Heat.
Problem is, although the Celtics are owners of an Association best 17 World titles, the current core of Boston has seen their last 2 seasons end at the hands of the LA Lakers and Miami Heat in succession. Regardless, watching the 2 videos still makes me want to shoot jumpers like Ray Allen and fire up a stogie like good old Red….
