This Cavs Finals Video Set To The ‘Interstellar’ Soundtrack Will Give You Chills

As the great Jesus Shuttlesworth once said, basketball is like poetry in motion. That statement is rarely more accurate than when we’re gifted with highlights from the NBA’s “Phantom Cam,” which captures high-definition replays in super slo-mo.

Those highlights are often epic enough on their own, but when you combine them with the soundtrack from Interstellar? Well, get ready for the goosebumps.

That’s the lesson learned from this awesome package of Cavaliers highlights from this year’s NBA Finals. Cleveland fans are undoubtedly still riding the high from their Cavs breaking the city’s championship-less drought that lasted over five decades, and this should keep it going strong for a little while longer. Every day since the Cavs actually pulled it off, people from the city have said something similar to the phrase “they did it,” so they’ll probably be watching highlights for awhile.

I’m only going to imagine that J.R. Smith is out there somewhere, shirtless, watching these highlights on a loop in between posting inspirational pictures and captions on Instagram.

Take notes, other professional sports leagues. Super expensive slow-motion cameras + dramatic soundtrack scores = poetry in motion. Get on that.
