All-Star Promo Videos Are Disappointing This Year…

By chappy81

I’m usually excited during January to watch all the creative videos that teams’ PR departments/players come out with to get the fringe All-Star players some more votes for the mid season All-Star game, but this year has been pretty disappointing. Maybe with the lockout and shortened season most players are just focused on games or getting back in shape since they have a game seemingly every night, but c’mon guys, you gotta give us something better than DeAndre Jordan singing for votes. Last season there were two great All-Star promos with Kevin Love’s Numbers Fragrance and Rudy Gay’s Most Interesting Man in the NBA promo, but this season I haven’t seen any coming close to touching those two campaigns. Step up your game Houston, Kyle Lowry should be getting more votes than Rubio for christ sake! Or how about you Portland, why not get something going for the most underrated PF in the game, LaMarcus Aldridge! All that being said, I did find a professionally done video for Amar’e that came out a few days ago, but when I watched it, just like the Bargnani one I wrote about a little while back, I wasn’t even sure if the video left me thinking I should vote for him or go to Foot Locker. Andrea is now hurt so he definitely doesn’t deserve a spot if he ever even did, and Amar’e is playing like he’s allergic to the ball.

  This lockout jam packed schedule has everything a little messed up, no doubt!

  I remember when Chris Bosh made a video pitch to the fans to be voted. Great piece of humor there.

  “You lucky! I was going to take your position!” That was funny.

  Amar’e just served as a guest star on an episode of “The Exes” on TV Land. I was fairly impressed with his acting ability considering it is not his chosen profession. Perhaps he has been spending more time concentrating on acting than basketball…hmmm.

    Interesting, I haven’t even heard of that show. Amar’e is definitely distracted he’s softer than Charmin this year!

  Manning and Irsay now have a promotional video that will soon hit the markets . It’s to be named and marketed under the banner…. “Your Likes And Dislikes In The the Work Place ” And How Best To Avert That Problem “.

  I actually thought that Kevin Love one was clever but I’m with Sam. My favorite has to be Chris Bosh’s back in the day.

  Here’s the link, bra.

  Perhaps if the ads were done in the format of a political ad then it’d peek the fans’ interest ?
