RPS Editor Damion Clayton Wins Shots Award For Nike’s “Only Basketball”

We’re excited to share that Rock Paper Scissors Editor Damion Clayton has received a Shots Award for his work on “Only Basketball” for Nike. The star-studded spot received Gold in the category of Ad of The Year: Up to and including 60 seconds.

Nike's "Only Basketball" campaign is showcases the brand’s deep-rooted connection with the beloved sport of basketball. The spot features a cast of basketball legends and pop culture icons, including A’ja Wilson, Jewell Loyd, LeBron James, Travis Scott, and Devin Booker, in settings that range from senior proms to pick up games.

"We spent five weeks editing the campaign, and the anthem spot had many beautiful permutations," Damion shares. "It was only through fluid and exhaustive collaboration with the W+K creative team and Stacy Wall that we were able to sift through all the possibilities. This award is an acknowledgement of the creative process — it belongs to everyone who touched the project."

Congratulations to Damion for this well-deserved honor! Watch “Only Basketball” below.
