Since the conclusion of the NBA Playoffs, NBA players have been all over the place. Some are laying low, while others are at the forefront of the media landscape, announcing their every move during the lockout. We’ve heard a spectrum of rumors, from athletes playing overseas to trying other sports to helping with everyday tasks. But for Nike Basketball and its athletes, summer travels and the NBA lockout are mutually exclusive. With or without a labor agreement, Nike continues its tradition of spreading the beautiful game of basketball and giving back to the community.
Nike’s roster includes the likes of Carmleo Anthony, Dirk Nowitzki, Chris Bosh, LeBron James and Deron Williams. But for a second consecutive summer, it’s 5-time champion Kobe Bryant and rising star Kevin Durant promoting the brand overseas. Above are some snapshots from Durant’s six-day tour through China. For photos and a description of Bryant’s five-city tour through Asia, click here. For more information on Nike Basketball’s global efforts, check out NikeMedia.com.
