ESPN had to get creative with their “Turn Down For What” promo considering five All-Stars missed Saturday night’s nationally-televised showcase between the Spurs and Warriors. They went with, “TURN DOWN FOR THE TWO BEST TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE! Seriously, look at the standings…”
Lil Jon hit the nail on the head, and probably caused many casual basketball fans who saw the commercial to say, “HOOOWHAAAAAT?!?!” The Spurs have flown under the radar in a year where the national media has focused on James Harden’s resurgence, Russell Westbrook’s triple-doubles, and a potential third consecutive NBA Finals matchup between the Cavaliers and Warriors.
