I'll start:

For me it's pretty much any commercial in the 2000s era, but this is by far that hits me the most: https://youtu.be/75U_PqYMgvY

That's right, baby, Christina Aguilera's "Fighter", just the way it was done & how it was played every f*cking time in the playoffs, with my obnoxious Laker fan family screaming from all the excitement & only to watch this video after/before crunch times or Laker comebacks in the playoffs & therefore whether the video or the song translated into something meaningful in a way years & years later.

& the other one is "There Can Be Only One" video back in '08 where they'd feature the left or right side of the player's face & put it together with another player's face. My god, it felt like we were just talking about this video yesterday. I remember everyone in ISH was going somewhat crazy over how the players would blink at the same time. :oldlol: Okay, I'm done talking, here's the video: https://youtu.be/QtLUorjCG9I

NBA related, I remember seeing that on ESPN after Lebron finally won

Amazing moment

Shame Lebron has become a spoiled brat since being so humble in 2012 and 2013

I'm pretty sure that song was used on an NBA commercial then, can't remember if that is the exact video

So many good and bad memories. Good choice. My soul has barely recovered from the dark ages of Rick Pitino and Chris Wallace.

During those playoffs I really wanted to believe the Celtics could grind their way back into regular relevance, but they had to get rid of that clown Chris mother****er Wallace. The NBA gods replaced him with Danny Ainge eventually...but it was hard man.

The nostalgia for that time hits hard.

Back then man it was a ****in zoo in the Garden. No basketball games will ever be better to go to. Nobody could ever know. Most fun I ever had in my life. That place was rocking from floor to ceiling. Most of the Celtics fans around that time were only the serious diehards since everyone was rightfully following the Red Sox harder.

I know everyone hates Boston fans, but the early 2000s were filled with so much pain and pleasure at those Celtics and Red Sox games.
