NEW YORK, NY, June 29, 2023 – The NBPA announced its first round of talent joining the stage with Matt Barnes and special guest co-host, Cari Champion at the NBPA Post Up podcast party in Las Vegas on July 9. The live experience, available as a ticketed experience for fans for the first time since the podcast launch, celebrates players’ off-court passions at the intersection of sport and culture.

Jamal Murray will make an appearance at the event to participate in fan meet and greets, while other athletes, including Jaren Jackson Jr. and Lou Williams will participate in live interviews hosted by Matt Barnes and Cari Champion. The podcast will give fans insight into players' beyond-the-ball lives and personal passions, such as music, food and more.

Music will be provided by DJ Trauma, and the event will feature a musical performance by hip-hop artist, Symba. In addition to the podcast taping and musical performance, the NBPA previously announced that the event will feature interactive experiences powered by Wilson, Mitchell & Ness, and MGM Resorts. Sorare, the fantasy sports gaming experience and marketplace, will be launching a fan engagement activation that teaches fans how to draft their starting five lineup to dominate the upcoming season.

Attendees who are of age will also have an opportunity to try specialty cocktails by Lobos 1707 Tequila, an ultra-premium tequila company backed by LeBron James and Draymond Green.

Only 450 tickets will be available for sale for this event to maintain the intimate atmosphere. Tickets can be purchased at: https://www.showclix.com/event/illuminariumnbpa.
