Enter Now Through June 6 For Chance to Win an NBA Experience of a Lifetime
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (BUSINESS WIRE), April 03, 2013 – If you’ve ever wanted to know what it’s like to be an NBA superstar like Kevin Durant, now’s your chance thanks to the Sprint (NYSE:S, news, filings) #BK4ADAY (Be Kevin Durant For a Day) promotion.
The #BKD4ADAY promotion gives fans three ways to get to know Durant on a more personal level than most fans ever have with a star of his magnitude: on Twitter, where fans can interact with him via a trivia contest, and by “doing the Durant,” where fans imitate KD by submitting a photo pointing to the sky in celebration the way Durant does. The more that fans participate, the more opportunities for entry they’ll be given.
Fans can enter, and track all of their entries, by going to Sprint.com/NBA on their computer or mobile device. Fans can also register their Twitter handle at Sprint.com/NBA to earn additional entries every time they interact with Durant on Twitter.
To enter via the Twitter method of entry, fans must follow Durant using his official handle @KDTrey5 and then reply to one of his posts asking fans for their opinions using the hashtag #BKD4ADAY. The more often fans respond to Durant’s posts about the program, the more entries they will be given.
Beginning April 10, fans can earn additional entries by participating in a daily KD Quiz on their computer or mobile device at Sprint.com/NBA. The trivia game will have an instant winner every day throughout the promotion. Prizes will include Sprint HTC One phones, Durant-autographed basketballs or NBA Store gift cards. On April 20 fans can earn further entries by submitting photos on Twitter or Instagram featuring their best KD imitation using the #BKD4ADAY hashtag. Fans must first register their Twitter or Instagram handles on Sprint.com/NBA. Photos submitted will be shared on Sprint.com/NBA.
The winning fan will get the following NBA experiences of a lifetime:
- Be Durant’s guest at a game (includes game tickets, hotel, travel arrangements and spending money)
- Take a road trip to Los Angeles to see Durant play (includes game tickets, hotel, travel arrangements and spending money)
- Meet Durant and get a shout-out from KD via Twitter
- Durant will pick out a stylish new outfit for you
- Get a therapeutic Sports Recovery Massage, just like Durant gets after practice or a game
