NBA: I'm Why by Translation

Date: Sep 2017

In the next chapter of its global ‘This is Why We Play’ campaign, the NBA's ‘I’m Why' campaign showcases various elements of the NBA, from players breaking records to mothers supporting their sons, to fans cheering in the stands, to the employees behind the scenes that make the NBA game nights come to life.

Ahead of the 2017-18 season, which tips off October 17, the new ‘I’m Why’ spots, ‘Tipping Off 2017,’ and ‘Golden State’s Homecourt Advantage,’ use existing footage and documentary-style production to reveal stories of what inspires players and teams on and off the court.
