We all remember TNT’s Christmas Day promo for the return of the NBA.

And now, on All-Star Saturday, they’re at it again with another excellent promo.

It features classic dunk moments in somewhat of a music video format, with Kanye West and Jay-Z singing “Ni***s in Paris” over the highlights. Once again the production value is through the roof and TNT set the stage for the events of the evening in a great way.
