NEW YORK — Friday’s sub-30-degree chill in New York City can do nothing to diminish the heat wave created by the festivities in town to celebrate NBA All-Star 2015. What with Rocnation’s Kevin Durant and Kanye West party last night (which featured a Panini Authentic silent auction headlined by Durant’s autographed and game-worn jersey and shorts), tonight’s BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge and then a full slate of activities — including the 2015 NBA All-Star Game on Sunday night — planned for the weekend, there’s more than enough warmth being created.
For its part, Panini America has plenty planned to keep things buzzing throughout, including running its booth at NBA House and a huge partnership with Modell’s Sporting Goods that will bring a steady stream of NBA superstars to the Modell’s location in Times Square for free autograph sessions. All the while, back home at Panini America HQ, company officials are steadfastly working on readying several 2014-15 NBA products for release.
As a result, we’ve been on the receiving end of some pretty epic mail days in recent weeks, including on-card autograph arrivals for upcoming products such as 2014-15 Immaculate Basketball and 2014-15 Select Basketball. In the gallery that follows, we’ll profile just some of the newest autographs, including a bevy of Hall of Famers (Jerry West, David Robinson, Earl Monroe and more) and a few young guns from the Utah Jazz (Trey Burke and Dante Exum) who signed earlier this week in Dallas.
Enjoy the gallery and stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for continued coverage of NBA All-Star 2015.
