When the Knicks finally pulled off a trade for Carmelo Anthony this week, they put together a pretty emotional commercial about him “coming home” to get New York fans fired up. I can’t say if it was effective or not since I’m not a Knick fan, but here it is if you haven’t seen it:
Call the Carmelo commercial what you will, but LBS reader Ben Masur sent us a pretty hilarious spoof of it about former Knicks center Jared Jeffries. The Houston Rockets bought out Jeffries’ contract on Thursday, and there is already speculation that he will be returning to New York to help the Knicks on defense. The fans are ecstatic about the potential move. Check out the Jared Jeffries coming home video:
Nothing says welcome back like a viral video with “you suck” at the core of its message. If Jeffries can somehow help the Knicks win a championship, I’m sure the choking incident will be forgotten in a hurry.
