NBA Plans On-jersey Advertising

Soccer fans are already used to seeing ads on their favorite teams' jerseys, but now basketball fans can expect to see ads on NBA teams sometime in the near future. According to a report by the Sports Business Journal, if the NBA does start selling corporate advertising on uniforms, the networks that show nationally televised games such as ESPN and Turner will get spending guarantees related to the ads. This was part of the league's nine-year, $24 billion media deals.
