The Most Goosebumps-Inducing Sports Commercials Ever

Hair raised, chills shooting through the spine, feelings of nostalgia flooding the veins. Only sports can provoke such intense emotions, such tearful jolts.

Breathtaking athletic performances certainly stroke our passionate side, but it's the handcrafted advertisements currently occupying television sets around the world that have sports fans truly gasping for air.

And we're not talking about a ridiculous, yet disturbing childhood television series here, this is the real thing. Goosebumps.

Only the precise merging of inspirational beats, perspiring athletes and crafty camerawork can possibly evoke such heart-stopping emotions.

Prepare your nerves, and let's take a look at the most breathtakingly inspirational sports commercials of all time.

Brian Adams' soothing rhythm doesn't even come close.

25. Breeding Champions

Trampling along muddy practice fields, sprinting up ice-chipped bleachers, cycling against all odds.

Building champions with every temperature change, crafting legends with every completed sunset.

24. Leaving Nothing

Thanks to Joel McNeely and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, snarling linebacker Shawne Merriman and bruising tailback Steven Jackson are fully motivated to leave nothing out on the field.

Scraping the edge of a futuristic Braveheart it seems. They may take our lives...

23. Frozen in Time

Few legends can truly inspire a crowd with as much ferocity as Michael Jordan has since he first approached the Chi-town hardwood.

Air Jordan in slow motion is visual perfection.

22. Driven to Thrive

I'm not back on my bike...for them.

If Mogwai's "Auto Rock" and Lance Armstrong's Livestrong story don't provoke any chills, then try turning up the volume.

It's all about the echoing Subwoofers.

21. Fate Tells the Story

With their long roads to greatness finally colliding, LaDainian Tomlinson and Troy Polamalu merge to create a breathtaking visage of gridiron dedication.

Hard-hitting numbness.

20. Understanding LeBron James

Excluding the epically-receding hairline (which some of us, yours truly, can understand more than others), it's pretty safe to say most fans would love to be the king of basketball.

Only the ninja-like Brian Scalabrine can defeat this blossoming legend.

19. The Drink's Legacy

Only the rhythmic beating of drums can properly compliment the eruptive aura present when drenched athletes compete.

Don't hate the player, hate the 'Rade.

18. Breaking and Building

It's in all of us to become legendary, but will you do it?

In order to build, one must be unafraid to break.

17. The World Believes

The will to try it and the faith to believe it is possible. Athletic competition at its finest.

Difficult to stop tingling from this kind of miraculous presentation.

16. Impossible Is Nothing

Impossible isn't a fact, it's an opinion.

Sports is all about staring impossible in the eye and defeating it.

Laila Ali vs. Muhammad Ali. An epic battle.

15. The Pro Combat Lifestyle

The squeaking of shoes on the court, the tearing of tires being lifted off the grass, vicious stares. Ingredients to athletic greatness.

Brutal.

14. Becoming Legendary

As the piano escalates and Michael Jordan begins his speech, we feel like teammates on the Richmond High School basketball team listening to Ken Carter's climactic verbal masterpieces.

We're scared for different reasons.

13. Paralympic Immortality

Sprinting past doubters, obstacles and excuses. The Paralympics, running parallel with the Olympics, is set to offer the greatest array of adversity-faced talent we've ever seen.

Pure greatness.

12. Elevating the Game

Why wouldn't I want the last shot...when I've already made it?

Underneath the flashy, fan-filled nature of Carmelo Anthony's everyday life is a hard-working phenom battling for the promised land.

This is the 'Melo behind closed doors. The warrior.

11. The Tribal Journey

Make room Morgan Freeman, it looks like we've got a new vocal master ready to inspire the world with his speech.

Known to some as Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. and many more as Common, this hip-hop legend somehow strengthens an already fierce field of play.

12 tribes converge.

10. Allowing the Game to Speak

Left to listen with our eyes, we're suddenly struck with pure inspiration.

Silence is the ideal environment. Just let athleticism a chance to speak.

9. Pain Is a State of Mind

At the end of pain is success.

Simply the truth.

8. Derek Redmond Becomes a Champion

There's a reason every human on Earth yearns for Morgan Freeman to narrate their life.

His voice is the sound of breathtaking art.

7. Cashing in the Hurt

The sweet subtle strumming on his guitar put Johnny Cash permanently in the hearts of fans around the world.

And when it comes to sports, he disrupts the routine flow of blood. He provokes a little less hurt.

6. The Tower of Time

Hear that countdown? The time is now.

There are no Cinderellas. Only legends.

5. Desire Dominates the Field

We were sold at Brian Dawkins' pregame speech.

Shocked chills flow through the veins, crushing pad-to-pad blows echo loudly, greatness is reached.

Can you feel that?

4. Friday Night Passion

This isn't a math test...

Passion certainly does have a funny way of trumping logic. The essence of sports in a nutshell.

3. Ali Leaves His Mark

There is no can't, won't, or impossible.

Muhammad Ali was a rare breed of confident, a new blend of talented and fearless.

There are those who only listen to themselves. Ali never let his haters bring him down.

2. Don't Ever Stop Believing

The escalating synthesizers provide effect, while the wincing athletes grueling for that extra inch provide substance.

Far more than just a quirky remake of Journey's hit song. This is exponential inspiration.

1. Michael Jordan's Message

The echoing of honking street cars and rhythmic synthesizers keep us shaking with enjoyment.

Mashing this Michael Jordan masterpiece with LeBron James' intriguing commercial creates quite the work of art.
