NBATrips Shooting Stars Trip 24/25

Shooting Stars: The Ultimate Basketball Experience with NBATrips

From January 29 to February 6, we embarked on an unforgettable journey with NBATrips, bringing our basketball-loving travelers the ultimate experience across the East Coast. The Shooting Stars tour was more than just watching NBA games—it was about living and breathing basketball in the most iconic locations in the world.

Arrival in the Big Apple – The Adventure Begins!

We kicked off our journey with an early morning landing in New York City on an EL AL flight. Our group wasted no time and headed straight to the Marriott Marquis Hotel, perfectly located in the heart of Times Square.

The energy was electric as we soaked in the incredible atmosphere of the city that never sleeps. With perfect winter weather on our side, we were ready to take on the NBA experience of a lifetime.

New York Knicks vs. Denver Nuggets – Madison Square Garden Magic

Our first night in NYC was nothing short of spectacular. We headed to the iconic Madison Square Garden to witness a high-energy battle between the New York Knicks and the Denver Nuggets. The crowd was on fire, the game was intense, and the atmosphere? Simply out of this world. There’s no better way to kick off an NBATrips adventure than with a thrilling NBA showdown at The Mecca of Basketball!

Day Two – Streetball Legends & Shopping Sprees

The next day, we dove deep into NYC’s basketball culture, visiting the legendary Rucker Park, home to some of the most legendary streetball games in history. Walking onto that court, you could feel the stories and legacy of basketball greats who once played there.

After soaking in the basketball vibes, we headed for a shopping spree at some of New York’s best outlet stores. With exclusive discounts and premium brands, our travelers made the most of their day, picking up everything from basketball gear to high-end fashion.

Friday Fun – Exploring NYC Like a Local

Friday was all about personal exploration! Our group split up to experience New York in different ways—some took in Broadway shows, others indulged in the c

ity’s famous food scene, and some took scenic walks across the Brooklyn Bridge. No matter where they went, the city delivered unforgettable moments.

Saturday Night Showdown – Knicks vs. Lakers

The NBATrips magic continued on Saturday night with yet another epic game at Madison Square Garden. This time, we witnessed the New York Knicks take on the Los Angeles Lakers in a thrilling contest that kept us on the edge of our seats. Watching an NBA game in person is always incredible, but experiencing the Knicks in MSG against LeBron James and the Lakers? That’s next level!

Philadelphia Bound – Sixers vs. Celtics in VIP Style

On Sunday, we left the city and made our way to Philadelphia, checking into the stylish Element Hotel. That evening, we were in for a treat—NBATrips secured premium seats at the Wells Fargo Center to witness a classic rivalry: Philadelphia 76ers vs. Boston Celtics. The arena was electric, the crowd was hyped, and we enjoyed every second of the action.

Washington, D.C. – A Tour Through History

Monday was all about exploring the historical landmarks of Washington, D.C. Our group took in the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, the U.S. Capit

ol, and many other famous sites. Basketball is our passion, but experiencing the cultural depth of these locations was a highlight of the trip!

The Ultimate Basketball Dream – Private Court Time & Kyrie Irving!

Tuesday was an unreal experience for our travelers. Thanks to NBATrips, we had exclusive access to the Wells Fargo Center for two full hours. The court was ours, and we played competitive 5-on-5 games like

real NBA pros. But the best part? A surprise visit from none other than Kyrie Irving! The superstar was beyond generous, taking pictures, signing autographs, and making this already incredible trip truly unforgettable.

Sixers vs. Mavericks – A Night of Basketball Excellence

That night, we returned to Wells Fargo Center to see the Sixers take on the Dallas Mavericks in another high-energy game. The level of basketball on display was top-tier, and our group couldn’t stop talking about the matchups, the plays, and the unforgettable moments on the court.

Back to NYC – One Last Celebration

On Wednesday, we made our way back to New York City for one final night of fun. We celebrated an amazing week with delicious food, live music, and some of the best nightlife the city has to offer. It was the perfect way to close out an NBATrips experience that truly exceeded all expectations.
