"SLAM is the definitive voice of basketball culture, Playmaker has an elite influencer network that will amplify OBL's reach, and Heart and Hustle Productions' extraordinary production team will capture all of the rich stories we find on and off the court."

Playmaker will amplify OBL's content and brand. expand the league's social media presence, and integrate Playmaker social media talent into the OBL experience, and expose OBL to an audience in excess of 12 million at launch.
Heart and Hustle Productions' world-class production team will capture every moment of the inaugural OBL season, produce compelling stories from on and off the court, and ensure the league is well positioned to engage with its growing audience on the platforms and media that matter most.
"What Tracy has created with the OBL is exactly what basketball needs: innovation, fun, and pure competition," said Les Green, SLAM CEO. "It's right in line with what we want to provide to our SLAM audience and coming from T-Mac, a living legend and multiple SLAM Cover athlete, makes the partnership even sweeter."
