Here are the last two commercials in the NBA’s not-so-innovative green screen “Where Amazing Happens” commercial series featuring rare archive footage of today’s NBA phenoms, filmed during basketball practice while they were still in high school.
Most kids dream about being in the NBA, but in the commercial series — which have been described as “creepy” — NBA fans are sent back in time to “foresee” the futures of their favorite NBA players, including 17-year-old Amar’e Stoudemire, Kevin Durant and Steve Nash.
The worst of the lot is the Chris Paul commercial, which looks like a high school student edited it. You can practically see the green screen when the kid steps in front of Paul. CLICK HERE to watch.
Everyone agrees that the best commercial by far is the one featuring a teenage Steve Nash and a kid from the future who tells Nash: “You’re going to be a 2-time MVP, a 7-time All-Star and you break your nose, like, a dozen times.” CLICK HERE to watch.
Stephen Curry’s “Where Amazing Happens” commercial is the last installment in the series. Stephen was the 7th draft pick by the Golden State Warriors in 2009.
In the commercial, a young boy from the future interrupts Steph as he’s warming up alongside his All-Star dad, Dell Curry, prior to the the start of a Toronto Raptor’s game in 2000. The boy tells Steph: “In 10 years, I’ll be with my dad… and we’ll be watching you.”
