New commercial for NBL on One

Definitely the best creative work to come from the NBL in a very very very very very long time...

They should have put in Abercrombie's dunk against Wollongong in the ad.

That would have been great. Everyone loves to see dunks.

It's easy to criticise isn't it.

I think it gets the point across well - "NBL back on free to air" (as it explicitly says so). Remember that it's more of an ad for One HD and to get people watching than it is an ad to get people to basketball games.

In regard to the "promotion of the players which SHOULD be household names" argument - realistically, your average Joe Punter is going to know f**k all players these days, the biggest name on that ad is the commentator (Gaze). Getting basketball back on FTA is the first step to rectifying this, otherwise you're jumping the gun a bit.

I don't mind the concept at all, and like another poster stated, I hope it is the first of a series that hones in on a few stars/Boomers in an attempt to make them household names and put some faces against the NBL like there was back in the Gaze days...

Good point #288429. I think some crowd reaction shots would have brought in some atmosphere and some footage of some more recognisable players, but #288429 makes a good point, which is probably why there is no game footage.

That said, I will take an average ad over no advertising any day.

one problem is it doesnt really highlight the atmosphere in the games or how entertaining they really are. hopefully they have a series of ads and this one of them and another will have more in game highlights.

The quality of the filming and sound is pretty crappy. Like the scoreboard gets in the way too much.

Anyhow, at least it's on.
