Maybe, while sitting in an area or at a music festival, you’ve asked yourself, “What could a brand possibly know about one of my favourite things in the world?” when its name shows up on a screen. And for kids who play basketball, the same question is being asked now that BMO has partnered with NBA Canada.

A bunch of basketball-playing kids in a video by FCB Toronto jump right into a quiz asking, “What’s a bank like BMO know about basketball?” and throws out basketball terms (and some pretty harsh burns) as it questions whether or not a big, faceless bank knows what they mean. But BMO seems to be okay with them being skeptical, so long as the kids – boys and girls of all ages who play everywhere from school gyms to street courts to their driveway – play the game they’re supporting.
