The partnership is a merge between "the imaginative world of LEGO bricks with Nike’s storied sport legacy to inspire kids everywhere to play both on and off the court," according to the release.

The two-time WNBA Champion and three-time MVP will support Nike's campaign with the toy manufacturer by engaging kids through a "reimagined world of play across digital channels."
