It's 'Where Amazing Happens'

by Simon, SimonOnSports

The NBA has come out with a new slogan for all of us to 'enjoy', "Where Amazing Happens". This ad campaign will surely highlight stuff most of us don't think is very amazing, and will probably be just as annoying as their old "I Love This Game" ad campaign. I feel like the NBA will need a little help to make this ad campaign work and thus I thought I'd be generous enough to offer up some ideas.

1. Tim Donaghy loosens up the foul calls and sends more and more people to the line so that the teams can make it to the over number... It's 'Where Fixes Happen'

2. Conspire with your friendly neighborhood ref and put your mortgage down on the game hitting the over... It's 'Where Pay-Offs Happen'

3. The Celtics in desperate desire to finish with the second worst record in the NBA pull out every decent player and encourage Sebastian Telfair to shoot so they can lose... It's 'Where Tanking Happens'

4. In the biggest market in the United States the only relevant news is when the GM pulls off another moronic trade so everyone can call their local talk radio show and kill him... It's 'Where Idiocy Happens'

5. Three teams in the east make it into the playoffs with a .500 record or worse... It's 'Where Futile Happens'

6. The Mavericks win 67 games yet don't make it out of the first round... It's 'Where Piss-Poor Happens'

7. Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw are suspended for walking 10 feet and thus eliminating the competitive balance of the only important NBA Playoff Series... It's 'Where Un-Fair Happens'

8. The Spurs sweep the NBA finals and yet people care more about their point guards marriage to a tv starlett... It's 'Where Gossip Happens'

9. The NBA's newest posterboy makes it to his first NBA finals yet nobody watches... It's 'Where Jordan Does Not Happen'

10. Everyone is more in tune with College Basketball's March Madness than they are with the far superior talent pool in the NBA... It's 'Where Inferior Entertainment Happens'

11. The two top draft picks and future stars in the league are relegated to the Pacific Northwest and will never be on at a time decent enough to watch on the east coast... It's 'Where Players You Won't See Happens'

12. Trades are more interesting and get more coverage than the actual game... It's 'Where Talk > Walk Happens'

13. Your favorite local superstar doesn't like the fact his team sucks, mostly because of his bloated contract, and requests a trade to Los Angeles... It's 'Where Whining Happens'

14. T-Hud drops a rap album that sells about 250 copies to the public... It's 'Where Dope Lyrics Happen'

15. Atleast our regular season isn't as boring and tedious as the NHL's... It's 'Where Favorable Comparisons Happen'

The NBA It's "Where Amazing Rarely Happens".
