National Basketball Association (NBA) Debuts 2022-23 Tip-Off Spots: “The Nonstop NBA” and “This is HAPPENING”

National Basketball Association (NBA) Debuts 2022-23 Tip-Off Spots: “The Nonstop NBA” and “This is HAPPENING”The NBA (www.NBA.com) today debuted its new 2022-23 season tip-off spots, “The Nonstop NBA” (https://bit.ly/3EqKSXk) for its brand campaign and “This is HAPPENING” (https://bit.ly/3REDfzn) for the new NBA App. Both are now streaming across all @NBA social platforms and on the new reimagined NBA App (https://on.nba.com/3VbnrXN).

2022-23 Brand Campaign – “The Nonstop NBA”:

Told through the lens of the ultimate NBA superfan, nicknamed “Non-Stop”, and featuring an All-Star lineup of NBA players, coaches and legends, the spot celebrates the return of the NBA, showcasing how the game and its culture is constantly evolving.

 

“We got sneaks-on-the-ground on four coasts… From a Serbian Serpent moving like Mamba… To A Greek-Nigerian-Milwaukeean changing the face of the game… to an ice-cold Trae in the heart of Hotlanta… To a couple brothers in the Bay with wet jays splashing their way back to try to go back-to- back…”

Reigning NBA Champion Stephen Curry headlines an illustrious cast of NBA talent starring Jayson Tatum, Tyler Herro, Paul George and Joel Embiid, who remind fans about all the exciting on-court elements that they can look forward to this season. From a potential Warriors repeat for Curry to another shot at the Celtics claiming a league record 18th title orchestrated by Tatum, the drama known as the NBA is about to begin its next act.

“The Nonstop NBA” also features a fan debate at an outdoor basketball court on whose team will be this year’s champ, with Embiid proclaiming that it’s the 76ers’ year. From exciting matchups and captivating crossovers to breathtaking buzzer beaters, the nonstop energy of the league extends far beyond the baseline to culture, fashion, music, the metaverse and more – whether it’s Damian Lillard recording in the studio, DeMar DeRozan showing off his impressive sneaker collection or Luka Dončić coming to life in NBA 2K23.

Finally, “Non-Stop” makes one thing clear – the NBA has something for everyone, and fans better keep up because “in the NBA, what’s happening next is happening now.”
