Charles Barkley and Dwayne Wade appear in the ad, in which Barkley's commentary gets a makeover by hip hop producers Cool & Dre, who give the commentary a fun, dance-worthy beat. The remixed commentary then receives viral status, being picked up and shared online to reach almost 2 million views, at which time Wade sees people dancing to it at a party he attends.
