DALLAS, June 16, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Sports
recovery device company, PlayMakar Inc. has signed an endorsement
deal with Alfonso "Trey" Burke, point guard for the Dallas
Mavericks' basketball team. Under the sponsorship terms, Burke will
serve as a prominent face for the PlayMakar brand and appear in
multiple marketing campaigns to promote its innovative line of
sports recovery products and muscle stimulators.
"Trey Burke is a phenomenal
athlete and personifies the attributes of a playmaker. Trey's
ability to create opportunities for himself and others on and off
the court personifies the Playmakar brand," said Mike Williams, Chief Executive Officer at
PlayMakar. "PlayMakar is an inspiring, tough, gritty brand, and
that's what Burke brings to the court during every game. More so,
we are committed to only partnering with athletes that are
all-around good people that can be brand ambassadors beyond their
name and likeness while connecting with our audience in a way that
goes past simple name recognition. Trey is absolutely that
guy."
Alfonso Clark "Trey" Burke III was drafted by the Minnesota
Timberwolves with the 9th overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft and
immediately traded to the Utah Jazz. He has also played with the
Washington Wizards and New York Knicks. He played college
basketball for the Michigan Wolverines of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association (NCAA). As a sophomore during the 2012–13
season, he earned National Player of the Year and led the 2012–13
Wolverines to the championship game of the 2013 NCAA Men's Division
I Basketball Tournament.
After being traded to the Jazz, Burke suffered a broken finger
late in the preseason. He missed almost a month of the regular
season before making his debut. He became a starter in his third
game with the team. As an NBA rookie, Burke won the NBA All-Star
Weekend Skills Challenge and went on to finish third in the NBA
Rookie of the Year Award balloting.
"I'm really excited to join the PlayMakar team," said Burke.
"They are on the cutting edge of sports recovery and I'm proud to
represent a brand that is committed to delivering products that are
not only effective but priced affordability to be made available to
athletes at every level. I look forward to spreading the word on
how PlayMakar can help athletes everywhere reach new goals."
