My Hero and NBA Con: What We Can Expect From the First Year
The National Basketball Association unveiled plans for a three-day event called NBA Con. The three days that it’s in effect will coincide with the opening days of the NBA’s summer league. The NBA Summer League is scheduled to start on Friday, July 7th currently.
With NBA Con, the league said that it will be “a celebration of the best of hoops culture” and include interactive experiences, a chance to meet players and NBA personalities, and the opportunity to play in open runs with other fans. Attending past and present players include Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Trae Young, Victor Wembanyama, and Scoot Henderson. As the date gets closer, the league is expected to update this list.
My Hero Academia is available on sub and English dub on Crunchyroll. Tickets for NBA Con can be purchased at NBACon.com.
