A Really Great Basketball Commercial

By the way, I didn’t forget about last week’s promise to use exclusively Wire quotes. The problem, I realized, is that all of the best quotes from that video are profane and/or involve the n-word. We can slip the occasional shit or god damn past the SB Nation Big Brother, but using repeated profanity for 2,000 words—most of which involves violence—would have been pushing it. To do a Wire column, I’d have to sanitize literally everything that made the show great. So that’s why we’re passing on it, at least for now.

And, oh yeah, this commercial is excellent:

A jumpshot can get you…

A shoe deal, a supermodel, a big house, fancy cars, a bunch of yes-men, and a Swiss bank account.

But none of these things... can get you a jumpshot.
