Star-studded NBA lineup featuring six basketball greats set for showcase in Abu Dhabi's district
The sports world is abuzz with excitement as the NBA Abu Dhabi Games 2025 presented by ADQ approaches. This four-day extravaganza, taking place from October 2 to October 5 at Manarat Al Saadiyat, promises to be bigger, louder, and unmissable.
The games will feature two iconic teams, the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers, battling it out at the Etihad Arena on Yas Island. But that's not all – the event will also play host to a number of NBA legends, including 12-time NBA All-Star and MVP, Oscar Robertson.
Robertson, who was inducted into the FIBA Hall of Fame in 2009 and has the NBA Western Conference Championship Trophy named in his honour, will be joined by the likes of Charles Oakley, John Starks, and Andre Iguodala. Oakley, the 1987-88 NBA Rookie of the Year and sixth on the NBA's all-time career assists list, and Iguodala, a 2007 NBA All-Rookie First Team selection who played 17 seasons in the NBA and won two FIBA World Cup gold medals with Team USA, are just a few of the names set to grace the Abu Dhabi court.
But the NBA Abu Dhabi Games 2025 isn't just about the basketball. Fans can also get involved, with the opportunity to participate in basketball activities on a full-size NBA court. Select legends will also attend panel sessions, offering insights into their careers and the game of basketball.
For those looking for a little more entertainment, there's plenty on offer. Musical artists Siilawy, Tul8te, DJ Jack, Stick no bills, and DJ D-Nice will perform at NBA District on October 3.
