Attendees were able to transport themselves courtside and immerse themselves by putting on a Meta Quest headset and viewing an NBA game in VR. They also had the opportunity to play the latest and greatest titles like GOLF+ and Creed: Rise to Glory. To top it all off, attendees received a personalized poster representing their very own unique Basketball DNA, making for the ultimate souvenir to take home.

They also hosted a Beat Saber Showdown at the NBA Creator House where an NBA superstar teamed up with a basketball content creator to take on a top TikTok influencer! And last but not least, Meta Quest and the NBA held the 2023 NBA All-Star Technology Summit, an exclusive conference that brought together the most innovative and forward-thinking individuals in sports, media, and technology to exchange ideas and discuss the future of their industries.
