In this 2013 NBA Finals “BIG” spot, “Forever Dirk,” (airing tomorrow) we see Dallas Mavericks superstar Dirk Nowitzki make an incredible signature fade away jump shot in Game 6 of the 2011 NBA Finals against the Miami Heat.
Dirk remains suspended in time as we see this same iconic moment depicted all over the world in various ways, from cardboard cutouts to toy figurines and a birthday cake, representing the different ways the moment is remembered in our collective consciousness, demonstrating the big impact only an NBA Finals moment delivers.
This Finals campaign is the first to celebrate current NBA players who are on their way to becoming legends because of successful Finals moments that live on and resonate in pop-culture forever. “Forever is BIG.”
