  18. NARROW OR BROAD EXCLUSIVITY???? Additionally, and in line with the NBA's policy of integrating its 'NBA Cares' CSR programmes into all its partnership deals, Under Armour and the NBA will team up to refurbish community basketball courts throughout the US.The deal does not encroach on the league's all-encompassing deal with official apparel provider Adidas, although the German company is unlikely to be thrilled that Under Armour has been able to secure the rights it has. • Adidas is currently entering the sixth year of an 11-year merchandising partnership as the official uniform and apparel provider for the NBA, WNBA, and NBA D-League, and now boasts full global rights for NBA apparel.
