The video stars James Gandolfini and Eddie Falco as Tony and Carmela Soprano, about three years after the final episode of the series "The Sopranos." It also features guest appearances by Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Chris Rock, Harvey Weinstein, Robert De Niro, Alec Baldwin, Spike Lee, Willis Reed, and others. The unique tactic of the Knicks was revealed back in 2010, but the video remained in the dark - until yesterday.
The video was supposed to impress LeBron to the point of signing with the Knicks. The star, who became a free agent after ending his career in Cleveland, was being courted by the Los Angeles Clippers, New Jersey, and New York, among others, before ultimately choosing live television as his next destination: Miami. "We tried to convince him," said Mike D'Antoni in the summer of 2010, after the famous meeting with LeBron, "I hope it worked. I'm optimistic." The video opens with the caption "Two years later, somewhere in New York," and begins with Carmella telling Tony that she's glad the couple moved to New York.
