What does the Kia NBA partnership mean?
Kia Automotive is a true fan of the NBA and its players and we've been excited to not only maintain our long relationship with the NBA but to also continually expand our relations with the NBA over the years. NBA Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum said "As part of our expanded partnership, Kia will be deepening its commitment to the NBA and providing incredible opportunities to bring our fans closer to the game throughout the season". He went on to say that Kia will "Help make a huge difference in the lives of many people in the community by becoming a partner of our NBA Cares initiative."
Kia plans to continue to develop innovative programming, advertisements, sweepstakes, and activities during key points of the NBA season, including the NBA Awards, NBA Playoffs, and The Finals.
NBA fans may remember some iconic Kia NBA moments like the time when Blake Griffin jumped over a Kia Optima (now known as the Kia K5) in the 2011 Kia NBA Slam Dunk Contest.
