Jordan "Melo Built for more" (2016) 1:00 (USA)

We've seen spots in which famous basketball players return to their roots before. But this one is different. Carmelo Anthony has returned to the city where he grew up: Baltimore. Hence "built for more." This is a testament to what Melo has achieved as much as it is a beacon of hope for a city that needs it. I like the juxtaposition between the man and the city. Murals, street intersections, even a tag that says "where are you from," appears. It doesn't beat you over the head with social commentary at all. It's also a nice moment when the kid comes in wearing a Stay Melo shirt and hands him the ball.
