The NBA’s biggest superstars will descend upon what promises to be a frigid New York City starting early next week for 2015 NBA All-Star Weekend — and Panini America will be there. Things officially tipoff on Tuesday when the Panini America booth opens to fans at NBA House Presented by BBVA Compass; on Thursday, things kick into high gear for a special partnership between Panini America and Modell’s Sporting Goods.

On Thursday, select Modell’s stores in New York City (the Times Square, Penn Station and Barclays Center locations) will begin selling special 2014-15 Donruss Basketball sets made exclusively for Modell’s for NBA All-Star 2015. The 11-card sets include 10 base cards and a special Rookie Card featuring Minnesota Timberwolves phenom Andrew Wiggins.

The set provides an exclusive sneak peek at the upcoming 2014-15 Donruss Basketball release that will be available in Modell’s stores when the product releases nationwide in late February. As part of the special promotion, Modell’s customers who spend $20 on Panini America NBA products at the three aforementioned locations will also receive a commemorative 2015 NBA All-Star patch card featuring either Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Deron Williams, Anthony Davis and Steph Curry. See stores for additional details.

  1. in the past you have offered those patch cards through the iCollect panini store with a NBA product purchase. Will that be a component this year as well?

  2. Lets see how panini do this All Star promo for NBA. I hope you do an outstanding job so the NHL regrets giving an exclusive license to someone else.
