Voices On The Ground:
- LeBron James, LA Lakers, Power Forward: “Own The Game is about being as great as you can be. That doesn’t mean you are always going to win the game or have the most points. It’s about being as great as you can be that day, maximizing what you can be that day both on and off the court.”
- Blake Griffin, Detroit Pistons, Power Forward: “It’s always an honor to represent Jordan Brand. Especially in Charlotte.”
- LaMarcus Aldridge, San Antonio Spurs, Power Forward/Center: “It’s a big honor to represent Jordan Brand and he’s the best. When you join the brand you put yourself at a higher level and you carry yourself like that all the time.”
- A’Ja Wilson, Las Vegas Aces, Forward: “I’m excited to be here and be a part of such a bug moment to Charlotte and energize this city.”
- James Whitner, Founder of Social Status: “Jordan Brand is engrained into the culture of the community. The Brand works constantly to make sure that they connect. This is why we’re here. This is not just about All-Star Weekend. This is about connectivity, it’s about the consumer, it’s about the experience. For all of those reasons is why it’ll live for generations.”
Tomorrow, Nike and Jordan Brand will continue to host workshops with consumers and media throughout the day at OWNERS HQ. The day will come to a close with the All-Star game featuring 19 Nike Basketball and Jordan Brand athletes.
