The Trip of a Lifetime for NBL Fans

It truly was the trip of a lifetime for long time NBL fans and brothers Jorel and Justin, who jetted off to Phoenix, Arizona this month as the lucky winners of the ‘Party With Shaq in the US’ competition.

Thanks to Reebok, the competition offered the chance to catch the NFL’s Superbowl weekend, enjoy a swag of Reebok merchandise, including shoes, clothing, hats and bags, as well as spending money, flights and accommodation.

But it gets better … as part of their prize, Jorel and Justin had the chance to meet the one and only Shaquille O’Neal and party at Shaq’s Fun House.

When it comes to prizes, they don’t get much bigger.

Jorel entered the competition after seeing a link on the NBL’s Instagram channel, and the rest, as they say, is history.

“Shaq’s my idol. I feel honoured and lucky to be the person to meet the big man himself,” Jorel said.

“Shoutout to Reebok and the NBL. Thank you for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

And Jorel’s advice to fans pondering whether to enter NBL competitions in the future.

“You’ve just got to be in it to win it.”
