FUMA, K, NICHOLAS, and JO, members of &TEAM who serve as the 10th official ambassadors of B.LEAGUE, appeared on May 29 (Friday) at the annual awards ceremony of the domestic men's professional basketball league, the 'B.LEAGUE AWARD SHOW 2025-26,' held at Tokyo Garden Theater. From &TEAM, which has been energizing this milestone season as ambassadors, four members took the stage at the awards. They served as presenters for the announcement of the 'Regular Season Best Five' and 'Second Team,' which were selected by votes from all head coaches, players in B1, and media representatives, symbolizing this season. They presented commemorative gifts to the top players who exhibited outstanding skills, overwhelming presence, and created numerous dramas, adding glamour to the award ceremony in honor of the winners. Additionally, in a special talk show held during the event, NICHOLAS and JO, who have a deep understanding of basketball among &TEAM, welcomed the players of Nagasaki Velca, who shone as the B1 annual champions this season, to the stage for a talk show. True to &TEAM's global presence, NICHOLAS skillfully switched between Japanese, Korean, and English to ask questions tailored to each player, prompting surprised responses of 'How many languages can you speak?' from the players. They delved into the players' honest feelings and secrets of strength right after their victory. The team spirit of Nagasaki Velca was expressed as 'It's about doing what is necessary to win, rather than flashiness,' and the two listened earnestly to the words of the players who fought through a wonderful season. After the talk, NICHOLAS said, 'I heard many good stories,' and JO remarked, 'It was really a good time to receive the passionate thoughts of the team that just won.' As ambassadors, &TEAM attended the prestigious awards ceremony to conclude the memorable 10th season of B.LEAGUE, celebrating the players who fought through fierce battles together with many fans gathered at the venue.
