T-Mobile is promoting its myFaves free calling service with a new TV and online spot featuring professional basketball player Yao Ming alongside Miami Heat player Dwyane Wade and former NBA star Charles Barkley.

The ad, which broke this week, is a continuation of T-Mobile’s “Who’s in your Fave 5” campaign that launched nearly two years ago. The ever-evolving storyline plays off of the comic chemistry between Wade and Barkley. (Wade insists on Barkley adding him to his Fave 5 list to the point where he gives in and calls him almost every day.)
