Brand Culture: Let Shannon Dunk

6′ 4″ Laker guard Shannon Brown has become a fan favorite for his athletic and emphatic dunks. He’s a true high fly act; some say he has the highest vertical leap in the NBA.

It worked. Today the NBA announced Shannon will be joining Nate Robinson, Gerald Wallace, Demar DeRozan, and Eric Gordon in Dallas.

The lesson? Your brand culture isn’t just about your stars. It’s about your role players too.
