The AT&T What A Pro Wants Commercial – The Pros, the Song, and More!

This AT&T commercial shows a couple of ball players descending a flight of stairs to board the team bus. I don’t watch NBA but found out this is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren, who both play for Oklahoma City Thunder.


You might notice a continuity error at 0:12. The clip shows Chet holding the phone in his right hand. Then the very next clip he’s holding it in his left. From a production standpoint, it had to happen. There was a handshake coming up and if either of them were holding a phone in their right hand, they couldn’t do a proper hand shake. But come on AT&T, show a little effort here. This is just lazy!


The moral of this story is… if you’re doing multiple takes and it’s still bad, go back to the drawing board ASAP. Th poor (rhetorically speaking) fellas got some sort of contract to appear in the ad but they couldn’t have known how bad it would be. Or they knew, but they were paid a truck load of cash. I can’t think of any scenario in my life where I’d want to see two guys singing this song to each other. No offense, Christina Aguilera.
