Brand Jordan launched Carmelo Anthony’s M8 NYC Flight in October 2011 with “The Explosive Game”, a nightime light show on the Hudson River Pier 54 in New York. An audience of over 2,500 enjoying a live set from New York’s very own Nas were surprised by an unannounced projection show of a three-story-tall dribbling, dunking and walking on water Melo, Jordan-branded helicopter and ultimately a live appearance of Melo himself. The Explosive Game experience won Gold at the International ANDY Awards for Special Effects.
