12 MAY 2016 Ziggy Ansah Shirt , BEIJING, CHINA – Sina Sports and Tony Parker announced today that they have reached an agreement for the legendary point guard to join Sina Sports’ original web series, “NBA Protalk.” Parker is joining an impressive cast of NBA icons that includes Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors, NBA legend and current assistant coach of the Detroit Pistons Tim Hardaway, and Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey. As one of the stars of NBA Protalk Barry Sanders Jersey , Parker will receive his own channel on Sina Sports, and along with fellow cast members, provide exclusive interviews and commentary to Sina Sports users on a weekly basis.
Tony Parker is one of the most decorated and prolific point guards in NBA history. Drafted by the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the 2001 NBA Draft, he has served as the team’s starting point for nearly his entire 16 seasons in the NBA. He has led the Spurs to four NBA championships, and is a six-time NBA All-Star. Parker is already one of the most well-known NBA stars among Chinese fans Graham Glasgow Jersey , and in 2013 was named an official spokesperson for one of China’s largest sports brands, Peak.
NBA Protalk is an original Sina Sports web series marketed primarily to Chinese audiences featuring iconic NBA personalities. It is the second original series of its kind released by Sina Sports in the last year, with the first being “Protalk” featuring famous European footballers including Eden Hazard, Carlo Ancelotti, Peter Schmeichel Michael Roberts Jersey , Michael Owen, and Gary Neville. Through a diverse cast that includes not just current NBA stars but also a retired legend and coach, as well as someone from the front office, NBA Protalk gives a full-circle, comprehensive perspective on NBA basketball. Both of the “Protalk” shows reflect a strategic move by Sina Sports to develop original programming that reaches beyond the game to change how Chinese fans access and understand sports.
“I have been to China many times Kenny Golladay Jersey , and have certainly grown my interaction with fans tremendously since starting my work with Peak a few years ago,” said Parker. “It is great to now be officially partnering with China’s largest digital sports media platform in Sina Sports. I look forward to joining my fellow cast members and taking full advantage of this unique opportunity to build a direct connection with Chinese NBA fans.”
“Tony Parker is a perfect addition to our NBA Protalk program” said Arthur Wei, Senior Vice President of Sina and General Manager of Sina Sports. “Chinese fans have gotten to know and respect him as NBA basketball has grown in popularity over the past few decades. We are looking forward to Parker’s commentary and interaction with our users, as he will add even more credibility and perspective to our popular program.”
NBA Protalk was launched last month with the first three cast members, and already it has been generating a strong buzz among Chinese NBA fans. With the addition of Parker Jarrad Davis Jersey , Sina Sports anticipates quite a bit of compelling content to be developed throughout the rest of this year’s NBA Playoffs and beyond.
