"... then tell me..." is what he says, and he wants anybody who is anticipating the arrival of the playoffs to compare their desire to experience them to that of an NBA great who has come close, but has never won a championship.
"...they tell me if what you see in their eyes matches what you see in your mirror every morning." This sounds like an awesome quote, but I'm not quite sure what he means. Can someone please explain? Thanks.
jeremy piven is the best, so intense and yet so smooth, perfect man for this promo. a hell of a lot better than gay ass dane cook for the mlb playoffs
If this promo had been made after the season started and they would have replaced Miami with Boston. And they probably would made some Boston/kryptonite reference.
detroiT! wiTHOUT! a dOUBT! the one team with championship tunnel viSION! the crew has a sICKneSS! these guys can see a trophy behind a 3-fOOT! THICK! LEAD WALL.. superman can't do THAT!
tunnel vision means that you only see straight ahead, as if you were driving straight through a tunnel, so Detroit being the only team with "championship tunnel vision" means that they are the only team that solely look to winning the title every year
also witht he lead wall, thats about X-Rays (i might slip up here, i'm going bak on a yr 11 science class) but lead is the only thing an x-ray can't get through due to somehting about radiation, so when detroit cans ee the title through a 3-inch lead wall, they can see it through anything, more than superman with his x-ray vision
haha thats funny now cuz Miami sucks balls. haha even with Wade back. Shaq (should reitre), Alonzo, Haslem are garbage compared to other east heavyweights.
i know.. but he should've had a little say in him too
he was one of the best players who's been to the playoffs so many times.. and never gotten a championship.... daaamnn i thought he was gonna be in it when i saw the beginning.
the intro about not winning a title makes me more aware of the tmac, iverson, carter, kidd etc. title run having the same fate with those HoF players. The League of Best Players never to win a championship. =(
i really can't hate on detroit cuz detroit has to be the one team that noone is thinking about and usually thats the most dangerous cuz there is no pressure on them to do well, they are just slowly moving they're way up like a snake in the grass, by the way i'm not a detroit fan but thats the truth. I mean u can say the same about golden state but they aren't as close to as good as detroit..unlike dallas, detroit has crazy defense.
good intro but not the best..the best was definetly last year nba finals intro when it showed all the champions from the lakers..pistons..to the rockets and bulls.
