NBA NATION (tour) | NBA全美巡演

NBA Nation is a touring property operated by the National Basketball Association through its subsidiary, NBA Entertainment.[1] The tour appears alongside local events across the United States during the spring and summer and features a variety of NBA-themed events and programs, such as skills contests and fitness clinics. The tour also addresses social issues in the host cities as part of the league's outreach program.

2001年，NBA携手雅虎举办了以篮球与音乐为主题的巡回活动“NBA Rhythm ’n Rims ”，在随后的六年时间，越来越多的音乐人以及NBA、WNBA球员加入到“NBA Rhythm ’n Rims ”阵营中，同样，越来越多的球迷参与到该活动中去。

而在今年夏天，NBA联合T-mobile、KIA以及sprite在全美八座城市举办“NBA NATION”巡演。活动内容包括技巧挑战赛、训练营、扣篮大赛等娱乐项目，赞助商们也纷纷拿出汽车和大把的奖金来刺激球迷参与，当然这些参与者中不乏国际知名街球手，例如T-Dub，他轻松拿下了雪碧扣篮大赛明尼苏达圣保罗分站赛的冠军。
