Basketball Is Like a Game of Chess – New TNT 2009 NBA Playoffs Commercial
Posted on | July 12, 2010 | 25 Comments
Visit www.nba.com for more highlights. “The first move requires no pieces. It is the look into the eyes of your opponent. The iron gaze of a warrior. The frozen stare of a man possessed. The piercing glare of a champion. Feel his years. A lifetime of hunger and hope trifles and triumphs. Search his heart for fear. Show him none in return. No single piece can win a match. Combine several, move them in constant, and behold a synchronized symphony of force. Push forward. Attack. Retreat. Or is it a trick? A ruse to draw out the opposition. Be watchful as one avenue closes another opens. Employ tactics and advance your aims while perplexing your rival. Be mindful of time but do not grant a clock authority of your reason. Defend with vigor. A skilled advisory is beatable when his movements are restricted and his patterns are exposed. Tension grinds at the nerves. Emotion can weigh a man down or lift him in the air! This is a game of kings! It is ballet of the brave. Choreographed on a wooden slab. Promise your foe one thing; doom. Accept only ultimate glory as your prize. Know that winning and losing are black and white. Master this game and you will make the final move. After all have fallen you will stand alone, crown intact.” New TNT commercial for the NBA playoffs. Features Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Paul Pierce, Joe Johnson, Dwight Howard, Deron Williams, Kevin Garnett and many more.

@LMLR187 Now do yourself a favor. Be a good little boy (or girl, or whatever you are) and leave me the hell alone. I stating this FOR YOUR OWN GOOD. You know what. i’ll even help you, i’ll personally ignore the next message you send me. Cause i didn’t decide to see this video for you, I did it because i felt interested in viewing this video. And all i really did was rectify an ignorant statement made on your part. but i see now it was not worth my time.
PS: so fuck you and have a nice day.

@acewhitecap no but it does mean that you can’t read and comprehend to save your ass. how in the hell does the fact that i was willing to ignore you so that you don’t make yourself look like a complete, all-around dumb-ass translate it self to you being better than me? did your little mind even understand what i typed for you I’M the one who IS A STEP AHEAD OF YOU. To put it simpler term so you can understand; if you’re Kobe, then I’m Jordan, cause I was better than you in this conversation.

Surly they should have coaches playing each other and the chess pieces being players themselves. its not like black players playin chess is believable either, show em shootin dice is more like it

its kinda funny when they said “the piercing glare of a champion” and they film it right on paul pierce

I’m surprised TNT didn’t have another intro like this or the past ones for 2010. It was just Timberlake and Foxx playing ball…not epic at all.
