Basketball Video Take 2

Ricky's take on the basketball video is different in several ways from Jordan's.  First of all, he leaves in the original audio from the video clip.  The mood he creates is also quite different and works through contrast.  One doesn't normally associate soft acoustic guitars and light percussion with basketball, but it is still effective.  There is a lull in the action after the first missed shot that corresponds nicely to a pedal point in the guitar harmony.  Everything is on pause until the action resumes.
