Ushering in the season of holiday cheer are six NBA stars decked out in this year's Special Edition Xmas Day Uniforms: Derrick Rose, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, James Harden, Steve Nash and LeBron James. All but LeBron face a row of baskets with sleigh bells attached to each net. The players begin shooting balls from three-point distance in a choreographed fashion, each swish producing a different bell note.
Swish after swish, we begin to recognize it's a song they're playing–specifically, the holiday classic "One-Horse Open Sleigh." The emphatic final note (usually shouted as "Hey!") is sounded by an alley-oop by LeBron James.
This concerto of perfectly timed three-pointers promotes the Adidas Winter Court collection worn by NBA players exclusively during Xmas day games. Fans can now purchase the special one-game-only uniforms at nbastore.com.
Jonathan Klein of O Positive directed the holiday spot for Goodby, Silverstein & Partners.
