This week’s 2019-20 NBA schedule release may sound boring, but NBA teams took to social media to bring the process to life.Here are our top-6 2019-20 NBA schedule release videos.
1. Indiana Pacers – NOW STREAMING: The 2019-20 Pacers Schedule
Using the same interface as Netflix, the Pacers grouped teams together by relevant shows. The Toronto Raptors may have had the same idea, but the creativity behind the Pacers reveal topped it for us.
In ‘Our Planet’ the Pacers ‘traverse the wild’ to take on some of the league’s ‘most dangerous animals’ including the Hawks, Grizzlies and Timberwolves. Even the call-to-action at the end of the video stays on theme – pure genius.
