New NBA Playoff Spot Featuring Kanye West

Kanye West’s New NBA Playoff Spot
Dime Magazine — One of my favorite parts of the NBA Playoffs every year is the new TV spots that the NBA rolls out. This year, they took it to a whole new level as Kanye West is helping fans gear up for the postseason using his hit single “Amazing” as the soundtrack to some of the most incredible playoff performances of the past few years.

Video: 2009 NBA Playoffs meet Kanye West
Ball Don't Lie — About twenty minutes ago, the NBA's official YouTube channel kindly asked me to "gear up for the 2009 NBA Playoffs" by watching some memorable clips from past NBA playoff games over an auto-tuned Kanye West track called "Amazing." I did as I was told and then broke three lamps, a mirror and coffee table. I'm a little excited for the playoffs to start.

Kanye West's "Amazing" NBA Playoffs Commercial
AwfulAnnouncing — Kanye West was recently knocked down a few pegs by South Park, but apparently he's back on his game in this new NBA Playoffs commercial. The song is "Amazing", and after splicing in a few announcers saying the word (namely Marv Albert), this is what you get. Via Alana G ...

I Miss Harry … Links to Ease the Pain
The House That Glanville Built — Tonight, it will finally set in once the Phillies and Nationals get underway. For the first time since I've been on earth, the Phillies will play a game without Harry Kalas ever setting foot in the ballpark. On Monday, he was there beforehand. Tonight, he may not be there in person, but he sure as shit will be there in spirit, with every single one of those players, managers, coaches and fans down in Washington. Thankfully, I won't have to endure much awkwardness with the Phillies broadcast because my main attention will be held by the Flyers-Penguins game. It is the Stanley Cup playoffs ...

NBA Playoff Video About Being Amazing Is Itself Amazing
MOUTHPIECE Blog // A Chicago-Addled Sports Blog — So I’m having a video-heavy day here at the Mouthpieces, and for that I apologize. And sure, I could write words that you don’t care about, or I could post this NBA Playoffs video featuring everyone’s favorite gay fish, Kanye West, and just let you wash yourself in it: As Skeets said, that’ll go ahead and get you pumped for the NBA Playoffs. It’s going to be, ha ha, amazing. No, but seriously: I have goosebumps now. Needs more Jeezy, but goosebumps all the same.

Lone Suns Cheerleader Makes Playoffs, Unsure of Seed
Fanster.com — The NBA blogsphere is beside itself with the release of the NBA's new "Amazing" campaign featuring clips of playoffs past and a new Kanye West joing.   Personally, I'm beside myself with joy for #06 of the Phoenix Suns Cheerleading Squad (does that even exist?), because she's apparently going to the post-season.  Way to go #06!  Good luck defending Kobe, though. At the :38 mark, our solo playoff-bound Sun makes her appearance.

The Final Countdown
Double Dribbling — The day has finally arrived. Fantasy Basketball 2008-2009 ends in mere hours, ushering in the start of the real stuff: playoff basketball. To generate some fan excitement, the NBA has released TV spots every year featuring some famous musician. Black Eyed Peas - Let's Get it Started made the Pistons' title in 2004 that much more memorable. After that, my memory isn't as clear. I believe Rob Thomas and the Pussycat Dolls each had their turn...but those spots didn't strike me as anything special. For this year, the NBA has teamed up with one of Hip-Hop's hottest artists Kanye West. Frankly put, this is exactly what the NBA needed. The beat, the autotune, and the lyrics ...

Rum Bunter | A Pittsburgh Pirates Blog — The Pirates will also compete with The NBA Playoffs. Yeh, another reason to stay home, the NBA Playoffs are upon us and I must say the NBA in HD is pretty amazing for this country boy. Next to golf, it could be the best sport for HD. The Pirates have always had competition for the entertainment dollar. I trust this weather will shake some fans loose over the next few days. Anyway, I want to get all the distractions on the table and thanks to our friends at awful announcing….here is what you will be seeing a lot of over the next few weeks, one must admit, this is pretty amazing. ...

While We’re Waiting… Home Court Advantage, Mike Brown’s Decision, and Kanye West’s NBA Playoff Video
WaitingForNextYear — While We’re Waiting aims to be the round-up of the recent WFNY-esque information for your morning viewing. Have something you think we should see? Send it to our tips email in the sidebar. Quicken Loans Arena Intro About that home court advantage: “While the Cavs do not like to lose at any time, there is no doubt games here have become a sweet racket.  The Q is consistently loud because so much noise is manufactured through the Scream Team, the human fire engine during the Cavs’ player introductions and the thunderously booed Michigan/Boston Red Sox/John Elway photos on the replay board during opponents’ free throw attempts.  Even a dull game, and this was ...

Day 171 of 170: The End of the Road. Really.
Give Me The Rock — Welcome to day 171 of 170 of the regular season! Either 1) I can’t count correctly or 2) Nels or I skipped a day somewhere in this long and winding road known as the NBA regular season. Regardless, we love you guys so much that we’re giving you 0.58823% more rundown than one would expect from the “Day of 170” shtick. You can’t put a price on more rundown. Line of the Night: It’s fitting that the regular season should end on a Danny Granger LotN (1.58) performance, seeing that he’s one of GMTR’s most improved players (Indiana – sadly – not one of our most improved teams). Granger grabbed the last night of the regular season ...

Pre-Playoff Ennui: Where “Amazing” Happens
Cavs: The Blog —     As it so happens, the NBA has decided to make “Amazing” by Kanye West their playoff anthem that they are going to absolutely run into the ground over the next 40 nights.  I’m extremely happy about this for a number of reasons: 1. I am a massive Kanye West apologist, and pretty much love everything he does. 2. This is a much, much, much better song than previous choices. 3. Instead of being merely listenable, it fits in tone and message with what the NBA wants the playoffs to be-a hard, mournful, conflicted journey that never produces what most ...

In case anyone needs a reminder per the datapoints our friends at Rush The Court looked up last July, UCLA has been the number 1 college basketball program in America since 1949 among schools with the most NBA draft picks. We had an incredible draft night last year with KL, RW and LRMAM. Expectations are a ...
