The NBA Christmas ‘Jingle Hoops’ ad from 2013 is still the best holiday treat

Can this be a Christmas tradition every year?

It was seven years ago that we got one of the all-time best sports commercials: Derrick Rose, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, James Harden, Steve Nash, capped off by LeBron James, shooting and dunking to the tune of Jingle Bells in an ad for the NBA.

Sure, it seems like the All-Stars were eventually all put together on the same court digitally, but whatever. It was awesome, and judging by how many people are tweeting and sharing it again in 2020, it’s on its way to becoming a holiday tradition of sorts to go along with the NBA on Christmas Day.

Here’s the original commercial, which is just delightful even though it’s been seven years:

The behind-the-scenes feature is fun:

And then this mock ad with not-so-good-shooters from 2019 is a hilarious:

So good, all around.
