Sinopse: Oscar Schmidt é um ídolo brasileiro e uma lenda do basquete mundial. Mas apesar disso, a história de quando ele quase jogou na NBA era pouco conhecida do público em geral.Conseguimos contar essa história criando um fato novo, uma notícia. Algo que chamou a atenção das pessoas e se tornou impossível de ser ignorado. E assim, conseguimos transmitir a mensagem da marca de uma forma nova, interessante e relevante.

Sinopse em Inglês: Budweiser is an NBA sponsor in Brazil. But the Brazilian basketball lives its worst moment in history. In 2016, the Brazilian Basketball Confederation was suspended from all international competitions by FIBA, for bad administration. It was time to rescue the Brazilian pride for its basketball. And we did it paying tribute to a great idol. Oscar Schmidt is the greatest scorer in history and holds many records in basketball. He’s had a successful career both in Europe and in the Brazilian national team, but although being a legend, he never could play in the NBA. He was drafted in 1984, same year of Michael Jordan. But according to a rule back then, if he accepted the league’s invitation, he would never be allowed to play for his country again. Choosing the hard way is what builds legends such as Budweiser and Oscar. That’s why Bud had to pay this tribute. In an unprecedented partnership with ESPN and NBA, we got Oscar Schmidt to play his first NBA game, at age 59. The All-Star Weekend is an official event that brings together great stars and is broadcasted for over 160 countries and on February 17th he finally made his NBA debut. If there was something left in Oscar’s career, now there isn’t any more.
