I was not sure if folks saw this new commercial that came out just a few days ago. If there was a thread on it, I missed it.
K is not actually in the ad, but they talk about him.

Hard to pick my favorite, so I will throw out the first two that come to mind:

And one which is just sublime:

Great ad.
Coach K really needs to walk out to Mettalica at midnight madness. Better yet, John Daly should blast Metallica tomorrow as he walks to the first tee of the Open.

This is must-see TV. The Donovan one had me laughing out loud, and the duck thing, well as OPK says, sublime. Made my day.

I still think the Y2K one is my favorite:

Impressed with how they captured typical family dynamics......I always enjoyed the look Archie Manning gives his sons....and of course, the final kick.

As I am also a Stanford alum and an Atlanta Braves fan, my favorite was Jason Heyward and the Stanford Tree.

...and here's a bunch of them-- (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puleXDhW34s)
I like a lot of these commercials, but this one was pretty disappointing. Actually, a lot of the recent ones have been disappointing. But there are some absolute classics:
And I agree with snowdenscold: the Y2K one is fabulous. Actually, any of the work by Charlie Steiner is amazing. Evander Holyfield's "come get your whoopin Steiner", "follow me to freedom!", "you had me at hello", the trade, all gold.

I also really liked the "be a buddy" one with Mayne and Scott and Jayson Williams. Stu Scott swatting a kid viciously and then "lowering the roof" back down court is brilliant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iVrFc7OlXs
And then there's the John Clayton one:

I don't know how many times I've seen that one before, but I think this is the first time I ever noticed that Kenny Mayne's shot sheet is actually on fire (at the 0:19 mark).

Another good one - starring Grant Hill:

Oh, great catch - I have never noticed that either.
Still, that ending line of "Follow me; follow me to freedom" just gets me every single time. Always brings a smile to my face.

Yeah, Charley Steiner racked up a bunch of memorable "This is SportsCenter" moments. Another one of my favorites is the one where he finally gets fed up at everyone trying to pick a fight with him (because his favorite sport is boxing) and slugs Otto, the Syracuse Orange mascot.

Another one that's always cracked me up is the one with Scott Van Pelt and Jimmy Rollins evaluating videotape of Van Pelt's performance.
"Is that bad?"
"It's not good."

The ones with boxers are frequently great. I love this one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw9XqiBXKgM) with Mayweather.

ESPN not only has trades, but expansion drafts:

And like most teams, they sometimes make mistakes in the draft.

Charlie with Evander Holyfield, kinda:

And a nice look behind the scenes: just check "Sportscenter lip read" -- for some reason it keeps copying the wrong link for me.

Tempted to put this one in the Cleveland thread. It's not really that funny but Kevin Love is a double double machine.

The most recent one, with Rickie Fowler, is hilarious.
