When you have to play 82 games and travel more than 40,000 miles just over the course of a regular season, everything that helps with recovery is worth a closer look.
And after early adopters like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James paved the way, Hyperice became the Official Recovery Technology Partner of the NBA to provide all players one of their handheld percussive massage devices – the Hypervolt Plus, which retails for $349 as of August 2021.
The world’s quietest massage gun was launched back in 2018 to help anyone move better and recover faster. Professional athletes using the device include NBA All-Star Blake Griffin from the Brooklyn Nets, wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster from the Pittsburgh Steelers, and tennis star and four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka.
Hyperice NBA Partnership
The partnership was the subject of an NBA on TNT episode featuring Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, and other members of the crew, which led to a lot of publicity for the brand.
