The Heat introductions… boy band style

KWAPT (@KWAPT) October 30, 2010 Uncategorized 18 Comments

So my good friend over at NBA Musings hipped me to this clip of the Heat's player intros from last night.

Now I know it's their home opener and people are all hyped-up, but this is possibly the lamest thing I have ever seen. I mean, I'm really speechless.

I haven't confirmed this yet, but I think the guy who choreographed all of NSync's videos was behind it.

And that song sounds familiar. Where have I heard that?

    “In The Air Tonight” by Phil Collins is the song for most of it. Don’t know the one starting at the very end of the clip though.

    Hahahaha Joel Anthony looked like he just wanted to go home.

    Oh, and the song at the end is ‘Hate Me Now’ by Nas.

    Are any of the Heat/Celtics games gonna be broadcast on CSN or are they all exclusively nationally televised? I really wanna watch a game with Tommy/Mike commentating

    All of them are on National tv. 1 more on TNT, then 2 on ABC.

    Oh, those clever Heat! They’ve stolen the Celtics’ secret to success– playing In the Air Tonight before the game! Now they’ll win the East!!!
    Nooooooooooo!!

    Wow, do there on screen videos feature even one basketball?? I shut it off because I was getting sick.

  • Mike Munger–Return to the Rafters

    Quite possibly the worst intro ever….absolutely no energy from the announcer…it sounded like he was trying to be Ben Stein.

    damn im with you guys on this………… disgusting

    eh…kinda boring. I’m not riled up by it that much. Maybe the most annoying thing was the video where the starting 5 were all in suits, like they were in music video. I wonder what Carlos Arroyo or Joel Anthony will think when they’re cut or benched by the trading deadline.

    I may be the only one but I thought the video looked sharp. It’s not Boston guys, it’s MIAMI. It was appropriate for the city the team’s in.
    The spot light effect/intro was kinda cool, IMHO.
    Anyways, I am looking forward to the C’s going there and beating them a second time with or w/o spotlights. :)
    Did you see what happened to the Orlando Magic last night? A terrible case of performance anxiety.
