Been dreaming of waking up to $1 million in your bank account?
Well, this could very well be your life as Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum and SoFi, the official bank of the NBA, are teaming up to help basketball fans have a chance at scoring $1 million during the upcoming NBA Play-In Tournament.

SoFi Plus members will be able to bank on the basketball move that is making a comeback – the bank shot – a shot that bounces off the backboard and into the net. SoFi is inviting NBA fans to sign up for SoFi Plus between April 10 to April 30 for a chance to score $10 in reward points for every bank shot made in the SoFi NBA Play-In Tournament, giving the first 5,000 members who join up to $200 in SoFi Rewards Points.
“Understanding your finances is a key foundation for realizing your ambitions. That’s why I partner with SoFi, because they’re committed to empowering their members to take control of their financial futures,” said Tatum in a statement, adding, “During the SoFi NBA Play-in Tournament, SoFi’s ‘They Shoot You Score’ is rewarding members for joining the SoFi Plus community.
