This spot promoting the Kia Optima, developed by David & Goliath LA, stars Blake Griffin, an NBA star who plays for the LA Clippers. Most NBA stars dunk, but Griffin is exceptional at it. Kia figured it would help him take his skills to the next level, just like it did with its new Optima. So, throw in an old-school gramophone playing Mozart’s Figaro, the Optima, some roller skates, a ramp and a basketball net and you’ve got the next level. Thanks Kia. You’ve helped us discover our new favourite recreational sport.
