NBA Nation

This is basketball country, and we call it NBA Nation� Whether you�re eight years old, or eighty; if you�re a face-painter for your favorite team or you just love the game, NBA Nation wants you!

NBA Nation is traveling coast-to-coast, bringing fans together at the NBA�s largest mobile basketball playground. Climb atop the 18-wheel, 53� showtruck to the Lounge and catch the action on the courts below or relax on the deck and listen as NBA Nation�s own deejay, The Big Show DJ Dallas Green, spins the hottest new music. Dribble, pass and shoot the fastest through the Performance Challenge course and you could win a car*. Meet at Center Court to show off your best skills in a variety of shooting contests or participate in clinics with NBA Players & Legends. Come aboard the showtruck to watch the NBA�s 50 Greatest Plays on a 50� flat screen, play the latest NBA video games, or measure your height, arm span, hand & shoe size to life-size replicas of your favorite NBA Players.
