Cleveland Cavaliers playoff hype video is the most ridiculous thing ever

It’s been four years since the Cleveland Cavaliers were in the postseason, and their hype video is the most ridiculous thing ever. 


The Cleveland Cavaliers are back in the postseason for the first time in four years, and you can tell their video crew hasn’t had to work this late into the year in recent memory. It’s not that anyone is mailing anything in at this point in the season, but it’s very clear that these people are not used to working in April and it shows in their work.

Proof is seen in the Cleveland Cavaliers playoff hype video, which starts well but ends with bad green screen and lost of yelling.

Here’s the full hype video, which starts out great, which ends in hilariously bad ways:

Basically it starts out Braveheart and ends by being Lethal Weapon 4. 

The whole video is worth watching, but there are about eight crucial seconds that you need to put on a loop so that your Sunday postseason viewing is truly complete.

Let’s break this all down, for the full effect of it’s awesomeness.

First there’s Kevin Love, who has never been in the postseason and it’s clear he doesn’t know what to do. Also, we don’t want to stoke any coals but it sounds like he talks louder than LeBron James. Is he trying to take over his leadership role in this video?

Speaking of LeBron James, he couldn’t have seemed like he didn’t want to be there anymore than he did. The man wasn’t brought back to Cleveland to make crappy high school-level quality hype videos. The man came to win.

Let’s not skate over Iman Shumpert’s hair either. We never thought that it could be a bad look for the man, but then he stepped infant of whatever this excuse for a green screen is.

And finally, J.R. Smith’s role in this video is a lot like his role in life. He’s just there to make a lot of noise and look cool doing it. Except, he might have been a little too loud for the mic that was on duty that day and he looked anything but cool.

Let’s hope that the Cavaliers play harder in the postseason then their video production unit.
