The Adelaide 36ers are set to announce their automotive partner as the same associated with the NBA, KIA Motors.
The President and CEO of KIA Motors Australia, Terry Im, will arrive at the Dome tomorrow to formalise the first partnership between the automotive giant and an Australian NBL team.

I wish they would do the half court shot for a car again

What does the deal involve, Isaac? An SA team with Kia - how times have changed!
as long as they get the logo off the back of their shorts, that was not a good look. Good news with regards to another sponsor though.

If you already own a KIA can you get a discount on seats? (this is tongue in cheek)

Oh Skud,
The same was said of Toyota in the 60's!
KIA is a heavy weight
PS My mail is that another big, long term sponsor may be announced any day....
subaru was a single dealer. KIA is the entire brand, skud.
Skud,
You have no idea. Kia is an affiliate of Hyundai which is from memory top 5 manufacturers in the world. I think Kia is 40% owned by Hyundai.
Do not tar your thinking of these two manufacturers based on their entry vehicles many decades ago. If we did we would never have bought Toyota's which is now the largest manufacturer in the world.
Tou talk about quality - the big three (ex big three) from the US are amongst the worst for quality issues.
I think it is great that we have attracted sponsorship from a large global corporation. Let's not bag our sponsors especially when it is not well founded

National Foods will also re-sign for about the same value as last year but won't go back to their "glory days" as naming rights!

Looks like the 6ers have sold their soul, automotively speaking, to a bunch of dog eaters.
