vivo joins NBA in welcoming All-Star Weekend 2025
vivo, an official NBA partner in the Philippines, is joining the league in welcoming the upcoming NBA All-Star Weekend 2025.
This season’s All-Star festivities will take place in the San Francisco Bay Area from February 15 to February 17 (Manila time).
The centerpiece of the annual extravaganza, of course, is the NBA All-Star Game. This year’s format is quite different, with the NBA adopting a mini-tournament style format.
The 24 NBA All-Star selections were divided into three teams of eight. The rosters were selected by TNT’s Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kenny Smith.
Meanwhile, the fourth team will be the winning team from the Castrol Rising Stars. WNBA legend Candace Parker will coach the squad.
Among the voted “starters” for this year’s All-Star festivities are Giannis Antetokounmpo and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, as well as legends Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and LeBron James.
vivo NBA partnership continues to evolve
With its partnership with the NBA, vivo continues to deliver Filipino basketball fans with curated experiences and content. This brings them closer to the NBA, its players, and its teams.
Last year, the official smartphone of the NBA in the Philippines also offered fans with opportunities to interact with NBA legends like Derek Fisher and Rip Hamilton. They visited vivo stores in Metro Manila for meet-and-greet sessions.
For the second year in a row, vivo also hosted the vivo 3×3 Basketball Challenge from July to August 2024.
Most recently, vivo returned as the official presenting partner of the NBA All-Star Voting in the Philippines.
