Remember that awesome NBA 75th Anniversary commercial released at the beginning of the season? You know, the one that featured Zach LaVine and a number of other NBA stars and legends on a street called NBA Lane? If not, how has living under that rock been? Do you get good cell reception down there?
Well, the league has released a brand new NBA Lane commercial for the upcoming playoffs, and DeMar DeRozan made quite the appearance.
Check it out:
It’s Playoffs time on NBA Lane. Meet you all at the Arena. NBA Playoffs presented by Google Pixel begin Saturday, April 16. #NBA75 pic.twitter.com/Fr6FZhZRy0

After saying there is room for diehards and newcomers in this year’s playoffs, actor Anthony Anderson sends it over to DeRozan. The Bulls All-Star can be seen seated at a press conference in his City Edition warm-up. Then, he leans forward to make his goal clear: “It’s bringing Chicago back.”
The camera quickly zooms out to Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star Darius Garland, who tells DeRozan, “nah, we making The Land believe again.” BOOOOOO!!!
Is it silly for me to get super hyped over 10 seconds in a commercial? Eh, probably, especially when we remember how things have gone since the All-Star break. But it’s still been a breath of fresh air to see the Bulls well-represented across the NBA landscape this season! It’s been a while since we’ve seen that.
