Six-time NBA All-Star Blake Griffin and three-time Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert have more than a court in common. They both sit at the forefront of sports and technology and today, we can officially say they are investors in Sorare. Welcome to the family, Blake and Rudy!

With over two decades of NBA experience, Blake and Rudy know the league and its fans inside out and are indescribably passionate about enriching fans’ experiences and connecting with them on a deeper level. They will be invaluable coaches to us as we step onto the court ourselves this fall when we launch the Sorare: NBA game for the league’s 77th regular season, which we just announced today.

“As basketball has shifted from local supporters to global fanbases, NBA fans are looking for new ways to be connected to the game, the players and other fans.” said Blake Griffin. “Sorare understands that, bringing free-to-play fantasy gaming to reality. I’m proud to be part of their team and support them to connect the fans with the leagues and its athletes.”

“As a French athlete who once pursued his dream of making it to the NBA, I connected immediately with Sorare’s ambitions after meeting Nicolas. The ability for our league to appeal to a new generation will only be furthered.” explained Rudy Gobert. “I’m looking forward to helping the team and the Sorare community connect with basketball fans around the world ’.

Together, we’ll transform sports fandom, allowing everyone to own a piece of the games they love, no matter the sport or geographic region.
