    There are so many new ones they added recently. My favorite is the "Dr. Funk"/ABA flashback one with Carter, Stackhouse, and Jermaine O'Neal. That's pretty funny. Worst is Lenny Kravitz's "Once You Dig In," with Kobe petting the Larry O'Brien trophy and Baron Davis lookin like he wants to have sex with it. Gatorade "Throw Ya Hands in the Air" commercial is good, as is the Iverson one. Kobe's Sprite one is bad, and his McDonald's one. Also, why the hell do people think Shaq is marketable? I can't even understand him when he talks.

    Which commercials do y'all like?

    Yeah, the ABA flashback commercial is by far the best. It's starting to get a little old like all commercials, but its pretty well done. I like the song.

    ABA Flashback gets my vote, too. I hope they do some "sequels".

    Theme from "Shaft" is a cool old tune, but Shaq Pak? I may be way off base, but does a guy who makes $240,000 per game really eat s*** like that?

    With that kind of income, I'd be somewhere with ambiance doin' some Lobster. ;)

    I agree, that old school commercial is awesome. I luv how it starts:

    Oh wella.....and the rest:) . Then keep that funk alive!!

    It's so well made, plus the fact that Jermaine O'Neal trash talks with Abdul Jabber. It's good.

    The KG commercial is pretty good too, but it couldn't be aired at the worst time; when the TWolves were swept outta the 1st round. LOL.

    Anyone else have fun trying to identify the members of the old school team in the IBM commerical where Gervin is the coach? Took me a few seconds to identify the fifth guy (#34), but I got the first four pretty fast. I won't spoil it by naming everyone if you haven't seen it yet - it's a fun challenge...

    Oh, and I HATE the Kobe ones (of course). :D

    the ABA ones are great! but i like "Dr. Funk" the best, cant beat the "Ice Cream!" lol its great. I think the Iverson one is pretty cool even though i dont care for Iverson. Kobes commercials are alright, not great though.

    GotGame...yeah that's how it starts.

    "Oh wella, glory be, the funk's on me..."

    I forgot the the Vince Carter old school Harlem playground one. What was it, "Well it's 1975 and we just be keepin things alive..."

    All of them by the NBA suck - especially the Pink ones. Same for the Baha Men and Lenny Kravitz ones.

    Most of the others aren't bad, though. Don't really have a favorite amongst them.

    this is a Nike commercial, not an NBA commercial, although it has NBA players, I consider it a Nike commercial.

    I used to like the "I love this game" commercials...

    I miss those "Fantastic" commercials during the NBA lockout when they made fun of the league's lockout. You know, like they'd show the old fat men playing a horrible game of one on one or whatever in the driveway, and then they'd cut to spike lee, and he'd say," so and so playing basketball...it's FANTASTIC."

    I don't remember the specifics, but i'm sure you'll know what i'm talking about.

    It's not by the NBA, thus it doesn't suck!

    (Well, not quite that logic...I do like that ad; and it just so happens to not be by the NBA.)

    I actually find those Shak Pak commercials quite amusing.
