Empty the Bench

We just love corporate speak that says absolutely nothing here at Empty the Bench, especially when it comes from Mr. David Stern. Today the NBA announced a partnership with YouTube wherein b-ball fans are encouraged to upload videos of their “best basketball moves.” According to the riveting press release, “the top ‘Post Up the NBA’ videos submitted will be selected and compiled into a special weekly highlight reel “NBA Top 10 on YouTube” that will be featured on the “NBA Channel.”

Sayeth Squarepants Stern:

“NBA fans will be able to interact and share their passion for the game by posting their ‘best moves.’ YouTube’s popularity and wide-reaching community of users provides the NBA with another unique way to reach our fans.”

Cheers, David. I’m pretty sure that’s the most generic statement you could possibly make on the matter, and boy, it sure gets me pumped up to finally show the world my killer crossover! You can keep tabs on and vote for your favorite fan-submitted videos here, and please do drop us a line if you find any especially good clips that we should post at ETB.
