On March 31, 2022, NBA team Golden State Warriors announced that they have invited their global ambassador, K-pop idol BamBam, to headline the halftime performance during the game show. He is also the first-ever K-pop singer to perform at an NBA event.

The Golden State Warrior announced a series of activities and partnerships to mark and launch the team’s regular season finale on Thursday, April 7, including a live performance by K-pop icon BamBam. At the halftime show, the singer will release his new single, Wheels Up, which also features Oakland-based artist MAYZIN.

Meanwhile, on April 6, 2022, the K-pop superstar and the Golden State Warrior will unveil an exclusive and co-branded merchandise line at the Thrive City Warriors Official shop. They will also conduct a meet and greet session with 50 lucky fans.

Fans will be randomly chosen from among those who purchase the brand new merchandise collection at the game show.
