think about this, isnt weird how amazing does happen in the nba, rockets are on a 22 game winning streak without one of their top player playing, teams like philli, atlanta with a under .500 record are in the playoff picture in the east, while teams in the west have to be 13 or 14 games above .500 in order to make the playoffs, and boston isnt the only team now that peaople predicted to win a championship no more the buzz about their "big three" has faded away. This has just been an UNBELIEVEABLE/AMAZING season in the history of nba, and the people who made up that caption are just genius'
I remember at first when the saying came out, everybody hated and compared it to Disney Land. Saying it will never work ... but, it turned out to be a really good choice and the commercials are amazing. They couldn't have picked anything better.
I think it's grown old, and I'm pretty tired of it now. I'm actually curious as to why the league hasn't adopted the urban-culture side that has now become to closely tied to the game. Whether broadcasts on NBC, ABC, ESPN, or commercials, there hasn't been an urban-tone to them at all (that I can remember); they feature rock, pop, or (now) classical backdrops. While some might draw comparisons to the relatively new dress code at another attempt to fight, rather than embrace, a major demographic of NBA fans, I don't think that was a slight on urban culture; merely general-casual appearances throughout. Still, I have a gut feeling that a NBA promo (finals, NBA cares, game, what have you) with a Lil' Wayne soundtrack scares the hell out of David Stern.

I think they're idiotic and I got the impression that any praise for it has been sarcastic. There've been some good parodies of it.
