Get pumped for NBA playoffs with animated warriors video

4/29/2012

It's hard to say how jazzed they are about the NBA playoffs in China, what with Yao Ming now retired and attending college and Jeremy Lin out with a knee injury -- and the broadcasts there starting at 7 a.m. But CCTV went all out anyway with a sensational 30-second spot depicting NBA stars as Han Dynasty warriors, replete with armor and cool weapons. You'll recognize many of your favorites: Blake Griffin, Kevin Durant and an amazingly preserved Tim Duncan -- though what we presume to be Derrick Rose looks suspiciously like his Bulls teammate Ronnie Brewer. Surely a TNT mashup featuring Shaq and Charles can't be far behind.
