The National Basketball Association (NBA) was in the Dominican Republic this past Sunday, June 5, to celebrate Game 2 of the NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors, with a ‘viewing party’ presented by Banco Popular and Hennessy.
As part of the event, the official dance team of the San Antonio Spurs, the Spurs Hype Squad, put on a special performance for guests. In addition, the artist Chimbala led the musical session with several songs. The ‘viewing party’ also had the animation of the communicator Bolívar Valera and his Team Mañanero.
This viewing party during the NBA’s 75th anniversary season builds on the league’s ongoing commitment to growing the game of basketball in the Dominican Republic. Former NBA player Greivis Vásquez was present and offered comments for the guests, emphasizing the promising future of the NBA in Latin America.
“We are delighted to join Banco Popular and Hennessy in bringing the excitement of the NBA Finals to the Dominican Republic,” said NBA Latin America Vice President of Global Marketing Partnerships Pepe Escamilla. “We remain committed to the future of sports in the country and together with our partners, we will identify opportunities to connect our fan base in the Dominican Republic with their favorite teams and players.”
