Following the game, a representative from #kia, the Official Automotive Partner of the #nba and the Official Automotive Partner of #nba All-Star, will present the #kia #nba All-Star MVP Award and donate a 2016 #kia Sorento to the winner’s charity of choice.
The league will also be working with Twitter and Vine to bring back “KicksCam” after debuting it at #nba All-Star 2015 in New York City. @NBA will tweet out Vines of the players’ sneakers just before they step on the court each night of #nba All-Star 2016. To embrace its global social media fanbase, the #nba was the first professional sports league to include its social media handle on its official game ball when it added the @NBA handle prior to the 2014-15 season.
