ABA players featured in national Gatorade commercial

September 28, 2006 - American Basketball Association (ABA)
Palm Beach Imperials News Release


Miami, FL. Prestige Models & Talent announced today the booking of several ABA players in the national Gatorade commercial with Dwayne Wade, where the players got to showcase their skills on court alongside the National Champion NBA player.

Lamar Moore and Bobby St. Preux will be featured in the commercial, along with background shots of James Gross and Franky Gedeon, all of the ABA Palm Beach Imperials. They all spent the past two days on set with Dwayne Wade in Miami, Florida shooting the commercial, taking a break from regular training camp. Also on set with them were other former or current ABA players, including Sylbrin Robinson, Andre Smith and Terrence Shelman.

Lamar Moore played NCAA D-1 basketball as a point guard at Florida Atlantic University. Bobby St. Preux was an NCAA D-2 forward/guard from Northern Kentucky College. All of the participating ABA players are being represented by Prestige Models & Talent based in Miami. The agency recently began a new sports "special engagement" division and will unveil their brand new website next week featuring user-friendly online accounts for talent to showcase their profiles for national exposure.

The timely announcement of the new division serves as a Birthday gift to the agendy. Last month marked the 7 year anniversary of Prestige. What was once a small South Florida talent agency, specializing in trade show and promotional spokesmodels, Prestige has grown into a one stop national agency representing professional talent in the areas of print, runway, film commercial, plus size, kid, voice over, athletic, special engagement and more.

Angela Rizzi, founder of Prestige stated, "We are very excited to launch our new state of the art site, in perfect timing with this new national Gatorade booking. It is a great opportunity to highlight the incredible, community-friendly talent that the ABA has to offer. We are looking forward to more bookings like this to expose quality, professional talent in new opportunities."
