The NBA will unveil “Banners,” a new spot for MLK Day that pays tribute to the many ways NBA players past and present honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy and bring the values of the game like teamwork, dedication, respect and equality, off the court and into our communities. The spot features some of the NBA’s greatest legends: Bernard King, Dikembe Mutombo, Dominique Wilkins and Vince Carter, as they raise banners into the rafters for today’s NBA players who work year-round to bring people together and bridge divides in our communities.
The spot will debut tonight on NBATV.
