During this season’s ongoing National Basketball Association Finals, Kuaishou, a Chinese short video platform and strategic partner of the NBA, has laid out a diverse content matrix for its users.
Since June 8, Kuaishou has been launching several livestreaming events with the theme of “Youth Time Machine.” During the events, NBA players including Allen Iverson, Nick Young, Quentin Richardson, Scottie Barnes and others hold livestreams exclusively on Kuaishou. They not only talk about past games, but are also launching various basketball challenges to interact with fans.

In 2016, Iverson was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. At 21:00 on June 14, he will make his first Chinese livestream show on Kuaishou.
Nick Young was a key part of the Clippers’ comeback victory against the Memphis Grizzlies in game one of the first round of the 2012 playoffs, making three three-pointers in under a minute.
