NBA 2K League: Sacramento esports team launches merchandise with All Good

The Sacramento Kings’ esports team in the NBA 2K League has partnered with lifestyle brand All Good to create the team’s merchandise. Kings Guard Gaming apparel will be on sale as part of a promotional and charitable effort to raise awareness for the Sacramento team.

Take-Two Interactive, maker of the NBA 2K basketball video game, and the NBA have teamed up to create the NBA 2K League esports league that starts in May 2018. 17 NBA teams are joining the league, as esports is expected to be a big business. Market researcher Newzoo estimates that esports could be a $2.4 billion business by 2020, and merchandising is one of the revenue streams that could help get it there.
