NBA knows exactly how to get into the Christmas spirit with this rendition of Jingle Bells.
With over 6 million views in under a week, the NBA’s latest promotional video has taken the internet by storm. This cute and entertaining “Jingle Hoops” video, intended to promote this year’s line of special edition jerseys and the annual NBA Christmas day game, went viral in just a few days.

It turns out that the critics were right and instead of trying to hide it, the NBA also capitalizes on the views that are generated from the “Behind the Scenes” video:
The NBA sure knows how to direct attention to their product… just in time for the holiday season 🙂
