If you never watch any of NBC's 42 networks, I have a news flash for you: the Olympics start tomorrow. Yeah, who knew, right? Where's all the coverage? Well, in case you're just finding out about this now and need to get quickly pumped up for some USA Basketball, look no further than this new spot from Nike featuring Marvin Gaye's legendary performance of the National Anthem from the 1983 All-Star Game.
The video of Team USA isn't anything that spectacular, but the USA jerseys along with the amazing anthem rendition did it for me. And hey, let's give Nike a pat on the back, shall we? At least this is a bona fide ad for the shoe giant, unlike one of the company's more questionable attempts at putting their brand on the USA Basketball team.
Marvin Gaye + USA Basketball = Chills
