buckeye242424 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Who here thinks Josh Smith's reverse alley-oop will make the Where will amazing happen? playoff add campaign next year? That was one of the sickest Playoff dunks ever. It should. He had no business making that play. But, I doubt the NBA will use it. JJ is the poster child for the Hawks. Probably always will be as long as he's a Hawk. Those adds feature the stars of the league - KG, Paul, Carmello, Joe, Duncan - faces people recognize. Despite that 99% of the players in the league probably couldn't make the play Smoove did, he's not considered one of the elite - yet. I think any commercial or league promoting campaign involving the Hawks will always revolve around JJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think any commercial or league promoting campaign involving the Hawks will always revolve around JJ. I have to peacefully disagree. The league KNOWS who Smoove is. They know what he is capable of. He is the Hawks "Highlight Factory." NBA fans already know how exciting he is. It has been mentioned by anyone and everyone that if he gets more consistent with his jumper and plays more cerebral, he's an All-Star, plus he brings energy and excitement. He's ready for the big stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporter Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Atlanta hawks are Joe, Josh and Al, as far as the media is concerned. I see the future poster boy for the hawks as Al Horford, the media will love the guy once they get to know him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrReality Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 He won the dunk contest, they should know him. But the truth remains he has a freakish athleticism that is very seldom seen. And he proved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Atlantaholic Posted April 22, 2009 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I would just love for that commercial to get made so I can watch that dunk in black and white slow motion with those awesome camera angles they use.

crimedog Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I'd actually rather see the one handed oop he threw down in the half court... it came out of no where and you could see just how high he can get even without a running start. Interestingly enought, its not in any of these "slow motion" dunk captures from the game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXsRSFsHlzE They would all work as a good commercial. You could do the reverse oop in transition from Bibby and watch Smith backtrack and then pan to the crowd going nuts and say "Where hometown heroes happen" or something.
