ANIMATED WEMBY FEATURED IN "JINGLE HOOPS REGIFTED"
The NBA debuted its Christmas Day brand campaign, “Jingle Hoops Regifted,” an animated remix of the league’s popular 2013 Jingle Hoops commercial. “Jingle Hoops Regifted” now streams across all the NBA social media platforms and the NBA App.
The commercial features an animated Spurs' Victor Wembanyama blocking shot but also getting dunked on by an animated LeBron James.
The NBA will tip off on Christmas Day with the Spurs facing the Knicks in a first-time matchup. A special alternate cast of the game, “Dunk the Halls,” will appear on ESPN2, Disney+, and ESPN+, marking the first animated presentation of an NBA game.
