How Those Awesome Time Traveling NBA Commercials Are Made

If you ’ve watched any hoops games this past time of year , you might have notice some really heavy commercials that depict current NBA whiz in their earlier liveliness ( in high school , college , etc ) interact with people from “ the time to come ” ( or 2011 ) . It ’s amazing when you see 2005 version of Kevin Durant “ react ” to the fact that he ’ll be playing for the Oklahoma City Thunder ( a non - existant squad at that tip ) . Or 2011 people telling the vernal players how great they ’ll grow up to be .

The clip above details how they pulled off the Steve Nash commercial ( which airs in full before the explanation ) . They basically re - created the scene , take it , pluck it , color adjust it and made everyone scratch their head and think mayhap that kid was from the future . Great stuff . [ Dime Mag ]
