“Casting was also complicated ... anyone who might play college basketball in the future couldn't appear in the ad.”
The
source, boardsmag.com, appears to be down or operating really REALLY slow to the extent my browser just gave up. Let's give it some time and see if it comes back up, otherwise we may need to find a new source.
“Creativity called the ad "impeccably executed", and Boards called it "so rich in detail that it entices in an instant".”
Same situation with this
boardsmag source, hopefully it'll come back online.
Hmm, for that source, the
archive.org and
archive.is archives are both broken. And my public library no longer has Factiva access. However, like I said for Creativity below, this is a print source, so if someone wanted to verify that quote, they could track down the May 2006 issue in a library.

“In an interview, Beletic commented on this video: "It is pretty awesome to watch."”
Again with the gosh-darned
link rot. The quote should make this easy to search on the web, but I was
not able find a replacement. I don't see any extreme value in this statement anyway, if you wish to simply remove it.
Factiva is a pain, but I happen to have a copy of that article saved on my computer. Here's the context: "c The Brand Jordan job-what was the most challenging part of that, and how did you go about addressing it? bb The project required precision. The camera movement, the lensing, and the blocking of the action had to exactly match the original Michael Jordan historic moments. This takes time. Our shooting schedule was aggressive. There is a split screen of this Jordan spot put next to the original footage that someone has uploaded onto YouTube. It is pretty awesome to watch." The source is a print magazine, so I think we should keep it. If someone wants, they can go to a library and find Creativity volume 14, issue 6, page 57+ and verify the quote themselves.

Valid concern. I have no qualms on removing a few – and my apologies for not taking note of this, admittedly I'm not as well-acquainted with this policy. —

I agree the highlight image should take precedence over the tagline. Are you content with using the free throw image as opposed to the other two? I found it to be the more "memorable" scene from the ad. —

The discussion at WP:NFCR has been closed. That should no longer be a hindrance of this nomination. Thanks to all for your participation and understanding. --
