Through the partnership, Weibo will become NBA China's official social media platform and they will deliver content, including daily NBA game highlights, photos and statistics and livestreamed NBA events in China and behind-the-scenes access from regular-season games and so on.

Social media has transformed the way Chinese fans consume the NBA, said NBA China CEO David Shoemaker, adding that this partnership would offer NBA fans across China exciting NBA content wherever they are.
