For all you basketball fanatics out there, the NBA, the pinnacle of professional hoops, is already two-thirds of the way through its season! We've seen some absolutely wild trades, and now teams are gearing up for a fierce battle for those coveted playoff spots.
Late last year, the Los Angeles Lakers announced a massive collaboration with Eiichiro Oda's One Piece for a special "Welcome Luffy Game Night Collab" theme night. Now, they've finally dropped the full official key visual, confirming the event will officially take place on February 28, 2025 (US time).
Based on the newly revealed artwork, every single member of the Straw Hat Pirates is decked out in Lakers-themed gear! The male characters are rocking jerseys, while Nami and Robin are sporting cheerleading outfits. The collaboration even features a custom Lakers x One Piece logo, all personally drawn by Eiichiro Oda himself.
Each character is also presented in a cool, player-card style. While details are still scarce, it's safe to say these illustrations are going to be absolute gold as merchandise!
Seriously, One Piece teaming up with the NBA—and none other than the legendary Los Angeles Lakers—is a groundbreaking first! We can't wait to see what surprises this epic collaboration brings to the game on February 28th!
