FUN88 presents NBA legend Tony Parker as its brand ambassador for Asia

Tony Parker, a French-American former professional basketball player, four-time NBA Champion, and majority owner of ASVEL Basket, has been unveiled as an official brand ambassador for FUN88.

The popular Asian sports betting operator will team up with the French legend, who will be the face behind a wide range of promos and activities!

The collaboration begins with immediate effect, hoping for a long, successful and powerful partnership.

Tony Parker spent nearly his entire career playing point guard for the San Antonio Spurs, and along with Manu Ginóbili and Tim Duncan comprised the ‘Big Three’. The trio played together for the Spurs from 2002 – 2016 and during that time won four NBA Championships – 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2014. Parker was awarded the MVP of the 2007 NBA Finals. He retired after the 2018-19 season after playing one season with the Charlotte Hornets, and his history, worldwide recognition, and commitment on and off the court make him an ideal match for the iGaming platform.

He is not the first NBA star to team up with FUN88. He follows the path of Steve Nash and the legendary Kobe Bryant on ambassadorial duties.

FUN88 has been active in global sports marketing over the years and is a partner of two Premier League football teams – Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United FC.

In the football world, the operator boasts ambassadorship with Spanish football legendary goalkeeper and World Cup winner, Iker Casillas.

With these steps, FUN88 continues to develop its online offerings for sports fans around the world, thus fostering a sports-friendly environment.

A few words from Tony Parker about the partnership

Parker, who becomes FUN88’s third Hall of Fame ambassador from the NBA, added: “I’m thrilled to be following Steve and Kobe’s lead as FUN88’s latest basketball frontman, as we look forward to an exciting renewal of the NBA campaign.

They have built a brand here that directly aligns with my playing values of speed and strength, underpinned by a desire to operate as a team and confound the critics. Everyone used to tell me I was too small and too slight to make it in the NBA. That lit a fire in my soul and helped me inspire my teammates. It’s a combination that’s vital to winning any game and also entertaining your audience.”

“With that in mind, I can’t wait to help deliver more content, insights and activity to emerging Asian markets, and the basketball fans within them. From China to Thailand, these fans are making it rain! Hopefully, we can find some innovative offers and deeper connections for players to better engage with the sports they love.”
