The National Basketball Association (NBA) today announced K-pop boy group LNGSHOT – the first group introduced by MORE VISION – will attend the second NBA Rising Stars Invitational as the headline performer. The NBA Rising Stars Invitational is the league’s high-school basketball tournament featuring boys’ and girls’ teams from across Asia-Pacific that will take place at OCBC Arena, the Kallang in Singapore from Tuesday, June 23 – Sunday, June 28.
As part of the collaboration, LNGSHOT will make appearances on the final day of the event, including engaging with the participants, taking part in a community outreach activity presented by Karim Family Foundation – the Official Community Partner of the NBA Rising Stars Invitational – and performing live.
“We’re excited to be part of the NBA Rising Stars Invitational and connect with young athletes and fans from across the region,” said LNGSHOT. “The idea behind LNGSHOT has always been about taking your shot, believing in yourself, and pushing beyond expectations. That’s something we see in the athletes competing at this event and something we try to bring to our music every day. We’re excited to meet with fans and players in Singapore and celebrate a generation that is charting its own path with confidence and authenticity.”
“Welcoming LNGSHOT to the NBA Rising Stars Invitational reflects the deepening connection between the league and K-pop,” said NBA Asia Senior Vice President for Growth and Innovation Ed Winkle. “Both embody energy, authenticity, and the power to inspire and connect across cultures. Together with LNGSHOT, we will celebrate basketball and music while delivering unforgettable experiences for the athletes and fans at this month’s NBA Rising Stars Invitational in Singapore.”
