Meme Watch: "NBA Forever" Remixes

On the first day of the season, TNT aired the "NBA Forever" commercial, and it was perfect. Since then, a few skilled fans created versions on YouTube showcasing the history of their teams.

Created by YouTube user Kjestrada, and featuring Warrior greats such as Jamaal Wilkes, Wilt Chamberlain, Chris Mullin, Tim Hardaway, and those classic "The City" uniforms. As a franchise, I couldn't care less about Warriors and watching this gave me chills.
