Back in the day commercials that made you wanna ball

Remember when the old basketball commercials made you wanna ball so hard right after they came on? Now a days basketball commercials are kinda weak and nondescript, companies need to step their marketing games up and come out with something fresh that makes people wanna ball out. Here are a couple commercials that after I saw them it was mando I picked up a ball :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBVqX2cmVtY - Nike freestyle commercials, after these came out everyone was practicing at least one of these moves the next day.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6WQLvRvtjs - Jordan vs Jordan, coulda dunked, shoulda dunked

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9yQaGj46Nw - Jordan 21, little kids balling

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oACRt-Qp-s - Horse

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGGZB0FSox4 - VC vs GP

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khOP9vvNH8I - who remembers Dr. funk

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4DYowCC_7w - used to love this commercial, one of the best ever

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzRETxxyFJk - space boots

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8lhH-K1X74 - you know penny had her blowing more than bubbles

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNtjGWfnQeA - doesn't make you wanna play ball but its pretty funny

These are just some of my favs, there's a lot I couldn't find and I know I forgot some, so post your favs love to hear/see what you guys think

Let Your Game Speak

The let your game speak commercial where the kids are mimicking Jordan is one of my favorites - gives me chills.

These are a few of my favorites as well:

Generally, I find Jordan

Generally, I find Jordan commercials to be awesome. There are so many great ones, and they just pump you up.

The only others I immediately thought of that weren't listed by anyone else yet are this JO-Truth Nike commercial, and the Mozart's Lacrimosa commercial that follows.

Allen Iverson debut Reebok

Allen Iverson debut Reebok The Answer shoes. This commercial just wanted me to go outside and copy the move growing up.
