Awesome commercial by Converse.

"Before Mr. Taylor taught the world to play;
Before fiberglass;
Before parquet;
Before the word "Doctor" was spelled with a "J";
And ballrooms were ballcourts where the renaissance played;
Before the hype and before the dunk;
After the rhythm but before the funk;
Before the money and before the fame;
Before new and old school;
Before school had a name;
It was only a ball and the soul of the game;
The first school;
Converse"

  • I don't know why, but this commercial always made me respect basketball more as a sport. I don't have a problem with it, but the modern NBA is about as far from a competition as a sport can get, it's an industry more than anything. This commercial reminded you of it's roots, which hit deep, and I don't even play basketball. A great ad.

  • Sounds like Mos def?
