the brief

NBA fans had plenty of places to get their NBA. ESPN needed to be the one they lived in. So we put the season on the road in an RV and built a platform on writing, cultural relevance and knowing the fans, from a diner to Shaq inventing words at Scrabble. It made ESPN the home of everything NBA.
