Chicagoland Basketball ties! 🤝

On behalf of Wilson Basketball, it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to collaborate with Jeremy and Jeremiah Fears, as part of a Jet Basketball and Bonded By Ball social storytelling moment.

From practice, to our HQ tours, to the game, it’s always a festive time.

In addition, it was neat to see three of the respective individuals we’ve collaborated with as it relates to our Jet Basketball NIL social storytelling, participate in this event too. Appreciative! 🙏🏀

It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to assist with our social storytelling/strategy from the annual Brickley Invitational, on behalf of Wilson Basketball.

This event brought some of the top boys & girls high school basketball players to Chicago, to compete under one roof.

In addition to sharing a bit about Wilson's Chicago roots, we also had the chance to gift him a commemorative Wilson Basketball to add to his collection.

An avid hooper and a genuine individual, appreciative! 🙏🏀
