Additionally, the NBA will have a presence throughout SUGA’s first solo
world tour, collaborating around select concerts in celebration of the
release of SUGA’s debut solo album, D-DAY. SUGA has featured basketball in
several of BTS’ projects, most notably in the music video for the group’s
global hit “Dynamite,” which in 2020 earned the group their first
appearance at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
“Music and basketball have been shared passions of mine since my youth, and
it’s a dream to be named an NBA Ambassador,” said SUGA. “I’m excited to
formalize my relationship with the NBA, and I can’t wait to share some
exciting collaborations I have planned with the league over the coming months.
”

icon, and passionate NBA fan,” said NBA Deputy Commissioner and Chief
Operating Officer Mark Tatum. “We look forward to working with SUGA to bring
the same excitement he engenders from his global fanbase in support of our
continued efforts to grow our brand.”
Last September, SUGA attended The NBA Japan Games 2022 Presented by Rakuten &
Nissan, which featured the reigning NBA champion Golden State Warriors and
the Washington Wizards playing two preseason games, where he sat courtside
and posted behind-the-scenes social media content including meet-and-greets
with NBA players and legends. SUGA most recently attended the Dallas
Mavericks at Los Angeles Lakers game on Jan. 12.
此外，NBA將在SUGA的首次個人世界巡演中全程參與，並圍繞著精選演唱會進行合作，以慶

最著名的是該團體全球熱門歌曲《Dynamite》的音樂影片，該影片使該團體在2020年首次
登上Billboard Hot 100排行榜的第一名。

NBA正式建立關係，我迫不及待地想分享我計劃在未來幾個月與聯盟進行的一些激動人心的
合作。」

巨星歌手、時尚偶像和熱情的NBA粉絲。我們期待與SUGA合作，帶來他從他的全球粉絲群中
產生的同樣興奮，以支持我們不斷努力發展我們的品牌。」

金州勇士隊和華盛頓巫師隊打了兩場季前賽，他坐在場邊並發布了幕後社群媒體內容，包
括見面會並與NBA球員和傳奇人物打招呼。 SUGA最近在1月12日觀看了達拉斯獨行俠隊對洛
