"The first move requires no pieces. It is the look into the eyes of your opponent. The iron gaze of a warrior. The frozen stare of a man possessed. The piercing glare of a champion.
Feel his years. A lifetime of hunger and hope trifles and triumphs. Search his heart for fear. Show him none in return.
No single piece can win a match. Combine several, move them in constant, and behold a synchronized symphony of force. Push forward. Attack. Retreat. Or is it a trick? A ruse to draw out the opposition.
Be watchful as one avenue closes another opens. Employ tactics and advance your aims while perplexing your rival. Be mindful of time but do not grant a clock authority of your reason.
Defend with vigor. A skilled advisory is beatable when his movements are restricted and his patterns are exposed. Tension grinds at the nerves. Emotion can weigh a man down or lift him in the air!
This is a game of kings! It is ballet of the brave. Choreographed on a wooden slab. Promise your foe one thing; doom. Accept only ultimate glory as your prize. Know that winning and losing are black and white. Master this game and you will make the final move.
After all have fallen you will stand alone, crown intact."
New TNT commercial for the NBA playoffs. Features Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Paul Pierce, Joe Johnson, Dwight Howard, Deron Williams, Kevin Garnett and many more.
I can tell D-Wade is about to laugh when he makes the stare
WHY SOME PEOPLE UNLIKE THIS??THIS IS THE BEST INSPIRATION AND COMMERCIAL!!!!..THIS COULD HELP YOU IN SUCCESS IN THIS GAME!!!!
The copy for this ad is undeniably brilliant, I must say: "This is a game of kings! It is ballet of the brave. Choreographed on a wooden slab."
love this commercial!! I love the passion in Kevin Garnett's eyes.
i get chills when he says 'this is a game of kings'
just awesome commercial
Used this inspiration to help me write a paper on classifying the different types of basketball players haha!
sent shivers through me... this is why i play sports not for money for this feeling he describes
when there are playoff games on TNT i have to make sure i turn to tnt on time to see what they will share with the world before the game begins,, the words of the wise coming through the television screen at times has brought tears to my eyes. i love everything tnt does with the nba,,its amazing.
Dwight Howard looked like he wanted to laugh when they first showed him. :)
i never get tired of this commercial

this commercial motivated to work in my game,not being afraid of my opponent,hiting the gym while everyone else is at sleep and motivated to change my lifestyle and be more passionate in my gane!
i love how it says "the piercing stare right when it shows paul pierce" lol jks
Are there awards for commercials? If there are awards for commercials - this one deserves a few........I might even make up an award and send it to them...
0:17 I like it when the narrator said "A piercing glare" and they showed Paul Pierce. It's kind of hilarious at some level.
Best commercial ever. The peircing glare was sooo sick lop
This is one of the best and most creative NBA commercials I have ever seen.
"Accept only Ultimate Glory as your prize" that line sounds so Kobe
one of the best nba commercials ever
One of the best commercial I've ever seen. Fantastic!
I always watch this video before I have a game,it always motivates me
True and best Nba trailer right here.
I love NBA Commercials and this ones especially dope
Epic statement: Be mindful of time but do not grant a clock authority of your reason..
Haha d-wade's face at the starting was like "hmmm interesting" and Kobe's face was like "give up already" lol
I don't know what's up with those 7 people disliking this masterpiece.
There is a reason these guys are NBA players and not actors :)
Wow, great commercial! Nice parallel between the two sports
0:17 The "Pierce"-ing glare.
i like how he shows Paul Pierce when he says "a Piercing"
BEST NBA COMMERCIAL EVVAAARRRR!!
i like how when the narrator said a piercing stare, pierce came up.
best commercial of the nba
HAHA!! Showing Paul at the same time! Pure genius!
Best commercial ever!
best commercial EVER !!
PIERCEing get it? they show paul pierce when they say that
Kobe has the most serious face here and Ray Allen makes me laugh like crazy!Lol
with 24 seconds left on the clock number 24 is the best
Amazing analogy , down to the littlest detail. Wow
i think the 3rd guys stare was the coolest, then ray allen just made me laugh lol
Every time before a chess tournament i listen to this as prep talk. In fact it has help me win the junior chess championship and i am the champion!!
1:25best is when he says that it is a play of the kings and lebron throws this fugures in the air like he does with de pulver on the games xDD
@sga86 couple corrections to note: it is "move them in [concert]" not constant
also "it is ballet of the [brain] not brave although it sound like it
good job deciphering it though
Dwight almost started to laugh. What a kid. smh
Go to NBA greatest commercial ever... thats the best nba trailer
best tnt add ever anyone???
The frozen stare of a man that you know will mess up in the 4th.....
damn thats a sweet ass commercial. but did anyone besides me laugh at d-wade when they first showed his face? idk why but he was lookin funny as hell lol.
kobe and chauncey billups stares were the scariest ones
i like the quote "no SINGLE piece can win a match"...and thats why lebron left cleveland because his "pieces" werent doing the job
Ray Allen D Wade and Dwight was trying so hard not to laugh
dwight howard is trying his hardest not to smile
amazing commercial
want this for finals!
this is where AMAZING happens!
All of these guys shutterd when I looked back at them!!!!!
Cant wait for playoffs
I think my Kobe piece can win a match by itself.
anybody notice that the players playing each other were the match ups in the playoffs?
did anyone else notice when it says the "piercing" glare of a champion paul pierce appears?
looooool thumbs up if u LOLed when u saw Dwights face when he says "show him none in return"
SOOOO SICKKK
i loled at the piercing glare :P
Did anyone else realize D.Rose was not inside :O
And when they said Black and White, Y.Ming was black and L.Odom was white (Y)
In the finals with OKC.
Let's see this time around...
1:18 birdman bit... sick :D
0:31 dwight howard totally wanted to laugh
"the piercing glare" ah i see what u did there
beautifull all i can say.
What is the background music? And is that voice(sounds like the actor of the movie V) done just for this commercial or is it done somewhere else too?
0:24 Billups look like the creature of Splice lol.
that was awesome.
its funny how they took a simple quote from doc rivers and made this huge thing out of it
counter-strike 1.6 it's not just a game brings me here.
Haha Kobe's stare is like, "You really think you can beat me?"
SICK!!
Oh my god.. At .34 Dwight wanted to laugh so hard..
i never thought like this about basketball :)
TNT commercials rock
he would flip the table then walks out and shake nobodies hand.
whole time i was like damnnnn!!!!!!
Joe Johnson had the best stare at the beginning at 0:12
they need to do this against next play off just a little different
0:13 the best stare in the video.
And in the end, it was Kobe that said CHECK MATE!
@1:01 Lebron has resolved that clearly the only solution is having the king join the opponent
Lol, you obviously don't play basketball. As a basketball player, I find the analogy between chess and basketball very fitting. You would be surprised how much brainpower goes into playing basketball, and how smart the superstars actually are. SMH. ignorance these days.
like somebody said before: FWCKIN AWESOME!
That just made me wanna fire my 360 up and start playing some 2k.
KOBE INVENTED THIS ANALOGY
Football is a game of Chess basketball is Checkers.
Does anyone know where I can download the audio to this commercial?
amazing
Great video!
its sick when kobe and lebron are playing. and kobe knocks down the "king"
is there a HD version of this commercial available?
That was amazing
6 people have been Scholar's Mated. :P
KJ and Joe Johnson had the best stares. Wade was trying to be funny.
If you don't like the NBA now then why did you comment on this video?
