I generally think almost all advertisements stupid, but this commercial depicting Jimmy Graham's childhood and ascent to super-stardom gave me boosebumps. As one commenter on YouTube put it, this should be titled: "How to make someone a Jimmy Graham fan in 60 seconds."

For those of you that don't know, Graham had a very tough childhood and was placed in a group home at the age of 11 after he was abandoned by his parents. He faced abuse from other children there. He was eventually taken in and adopted by a youth counselor in high school, turning his focus to basketball, and that helped him earn a scholarship to Miami.
