Great googily moogily! That is simply awesome! One of the finest NBA commercials ever. I love the way Shane wraps it all up at the end, laying on the ground after taking a charge. Hysterical!

Worth noting-- if you watch the reflection in the window behind Shane at the beginning, you can tell that his shots are all missing (intentionally) and the swish sound is dubbed in.

karaoke should NEVER be entrusted to those who cannot sing.

I should not even be allowed to use the word karaoke

Happy to give props for an independent find, but I just want to note that Julio linked this on the front page this morning--so he deserves mad props as well.

Indeed. How do we get this thing to go viral? I laughed my butt off when I saw it.

Uncle Drew's got some competition!

And then there would be no karaoke.

What a shame.

My take on it personally: If I'm drunk enough to do it, I can't do it without looking like a fool. If I can do it without looking like a fool, I'm not drunk enough to be so foolish.

That's the funniest part. They clearly did not need to include the reflection in the shot if they didn't want to make it purposefully, hysterically cheesy.

Brilliant.

Also, Lebron did a pretty great job with that Juvenile cover (http://deadspin.com/lebron-james-pretty-good-at-rapping-back-that-I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this.-up-1510610742). Ah, the late 90s... seems like yesterday.

Okay. Amazing. Battier kinda looks like Common up there. Ken Jeong is, well, Ken Jeong.

Anyone else feel like this video would be ten times better with Javale McGee up there instead of Oden?

SI has a whole bunch of the singing videos. Some great stuff here (http://nba.si.com/2014/01/28/lebron-james-chris-bosh-miami-heat-karaoke-singing/)!

And you have not lived until you have seen (http://thebiglead.com/2014/01/28/lebron-james-and-michael-beasley-and-the-most-elaborate-handshake-routine-ever-gif-ed/) the elaborate handshake Lebron and Michael Beasley shared at the event. WOW!

I can't listen to Get Low without hearing "from the windows... to Luol".

Grantland's Rembert Browne posted a link-laden recap.

Money quote:


"There’s no way to thank Battier enough for this. There’s no way anyone thought, when he left Duke with that 8.7 unweighted GPA, that he’d be the catalyst for South Beach’s version of the Apollo. The world’s a crazy-beautiful place."

(I'm just hoping that commercial at the top of the thread doesn't come back to haunt Shane when he decides to enter presidential politics. On the other hand, he is certainly sharpening his fundraising ability. Hmm...)
