As we are just a month away from tipping off into another exciting and entertaining season of basketball, the NBA is ready to introduce a new chapter of creating iconic moments.
Hoop fans, last season we witnessed the “This Is Why We Play” movement. This season, the league is proud to announce the “I’m Why” campaign. “I’m Why” showcases various elements of NBA basketball that make this game so special: players breaking records, mothers supporting their sons, a chance at an NBA Championship, fans cheering in the stands, employees working behind the scenes and more.
Ahead of the 2017-18 season, there are three new “I’m Why” spots, which consists of “Tipping Off 2017,” “Golden State’s Homecourt Advantage” and “I’m Why Mexico 2017″. These three spots are uses existing footage and documentary-style production to reveal stories of what inspires players and teams on and off the court.
“Tipping Off 2017” highlights some of the most intriguing stories from the past season and the many reasons fans look forward to NBA Tip-Off, including cities coming together, record-breaking performances, crazy super-fans and memorable moments on and off the court.
