The What a Pro Wants ad from Chet Holmgren and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a horrible NBA playoffs earworm
NBA fans continue to complain about the ads they’re seeing during every single 2024 playoff game, whether it’s the Wingstop No Flex Zone earworm or the dulcet tones of Oklahoma City Thunder stars Chet Holmgren and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander singing a parody of Christina Aguilera’s What a Girl Wants.
It’s an AT&T ad showing the two of them singing “What a Pro Wants” instead, and uh, they’re a little pitchy, dawg. And when we first heard the commercial a month ago or so, it was funny.
Now? It’s annoying as heck and people are rightfully complaining about it on X (formerly Twitter):
By now we know "What a pro wants". But what DP and the Danettes want is for this commercial to be put to bed. pic.twitter.com/tlhHeMUesJ

I’m actually considering switching providers from AT&T to T-Mobile because of the “What a pro wants” commercial. It’s the opposite of advertising.
