Europe's version of the NCAA Final Four -- the Euroleague Final Four -- is almost upon us. If anything can be gleaned from its new ad spot, there will be a lot of dunks -- in the pool.
The ad for the finals, which is sponsored by Turkish Airlines, begins with league stars Shawn James, Kyle Hines, Robin Benzing and Sergio Rodriguez hanging out in a tranquil pool scene. As they pass the basketball back and forth, the scene escalates until one player alley-oops off a pass from another player, slowly rising from the water's surface wearing a jetpack.
We can only hope that the real Euroleague Final Four will be this epic when it's played later this month in Milan, Italy.
