This ridicule did not affect the image of Thompson or Anta. On the contrary, it became a classic picture like Tang Shen's classic interview while drinking beer, which made his image more deeply rooted in people's hearts. At the same time, Anta, who completed Tang Shen's contract renewal this year, once again gained high exposure. As the netizen said, "Anta may be the biggest winner-Thompson speaks according to his conscience, not to mention all kinds of' Beijingers' and' Anta'. It's simply awesome that the dunk failed that day and fell to Anta's trademark." In recent years, with the continuous improvement of domestic brand quality, brand positioning and marketing methods, domestic brands have also begun to gain a more important position in the NBA. From supporting role to leading role, domestic brands have been used for 10 years. In those years, few people may remember the first NBA player signed by a domestic brand. Indeed, in the long history of the league, Damon Jones is just a mediocre little role, averaging only 1 1.6 points in his career. But for domestic brands, this guy who calls himself "the first shooter in the universe" has a milestone significance. June 5438 +2006 10, Li Ning signed a contract with Cavaliers shooter damon jones, marking the beginning of domestic brands entering the NBA market. Later, Li Ning made a great sacrifice and signed the first real NBA star-"Shark" shaquille o'neal. The essence of this heavy signing is the cooperation between Li Ning and Shaq's personal brand Shaq, and the launch of sneakers. In my memory, I saw the advertisement of Aopang sneakers on CCTV5 in those years, and the shark silhouette of dunk became the first memory of the cooperation between China brand and NBA stars.
