Panini America at the 2014 NBA All-Star Jam Session
Irving, Texas (PRWEB) February 12, 2014
Portland Trail Blazers extraordinary sophomore Damian Lillard is slated to make NBA history this weekend by becoming the first player to compete in all five NBA All-Star Weekend events (BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge, Taco Bell Skills Challenge, Foot Locker Three-Point Contest, Sprite Slam Dunk Contest and the All-Star Game itself). Meanwhile, Panini America will be attempting to set the NBA All-Star Jam Session record for busiest booth ever.
From the minute the doors open on New Orleans' Ernest N. Morial Convention Center on Thursday afternoon until they close on Sunday evening, the Panini America booth inside the NBA All-Star Jam Session promises to be a bustling, action-packed destination featuring free autograph appearances by NBA superstars, Box Wars, a commemorative 2014 NBA All-Star Game set and special 2013-14 Gold Standard Basketball case-break events hosted by none other than Blake Griffin and Victor Oladipo.
For complete details of everything we have going on this weekend, keep reading.
