Paris MVP
Paris Saint-Germain have had built a relationship with one of the major sports leagues in the USA: the NBA. The latest link was Nicolas Batum wearing the Jordan collection before a game. Let's take a look at the relationship between Paris and the NBA.
It's now not a rare sight to see various NBA stars wearing the different Paris Saint-Germain Jordan attire since the American brand and the club from the capital's collaboration. Recent Miami Heat NBA finalist Jimmy Butler is particularly fond of the lifestyle PSGxJordan collection and wears it often even in press conferences! The superstar of the Florida franchise even came to Paris to meet the players at the Centre Ooredoo upon the 2018-2019 collection's release.

More recently the number pick from the 2019 draft Zion Williamson wore the Jordan shirt from that same year as he made his debut in the NBA.

It's also hard to leave out Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Karl-Anthony Towns or even Rudy Gobert's visits to the Parc des Princes, that really show the strong link between these elite level athletes.
During the NBA Paris Game the Parisiens had the opportunity to meet the two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks' number 34 also went to visit Parc. The Bucks faced Nic Batum's Hornets side in Paris. The French Hornets player took a picture alongside Neymar and Mbappé amongst others for the release of the Paris 4th kit made by Jordan.
