NBA renews partnerships with Sears and Under Armour

NEW YORK – The National Basketball Association (NBA) today renewed its partnerships with Sears and Under Armour, Inc. Sears will return as the title sponsor of Shooting Stars, a specialty shooting competition at NBA All-Star, and Under Armour will continue to work with the NBA to grow its line of basketball footwear.

As part of the partnership, Under Armour’s endorsers – which include Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, Brandon Jennings of the Detroit Pistons, Raymond Felton of the New York Knicks, Kemba Walker of the Charlotte Bobcats, Will Barton of the Portland Trail Blazers, Kent Bazemore of the Golden State Warriors, and Greivis Vasquez of the Sacramento Kings – will be featured in their NBA uniforms to promote its basketball footwear brand in national marketing campaigns and at retail.

Sears will build upon the success of its first year as the title sponsor of Shooting Stars and reward one fan a special experience through Shop Your Way – Sears’ free, members-only program and shopping community that offers rewards, personalized savings deals and product reviews and services – at NBA All-Star 2014 in New Orleans. A Shop Your Way member will win the chance to present the Sears Shooting Stars championship trophy to the winning team during the on-court presentation live on the TNT broadcast.

Sears provided this opportunity to a Shop Your Way member last year, marking the first time that a fan presented a State Farm All-Star Saturday Night event award. This lucky Shop Your Way member also will have the opportunity to take photos with Sears Shooting Stars participants prior to the contest, receive tickets to NBA All-Star events, and meet an NBA legend.
