Everybody and their baby’s momma, Uncle LeRoy and Cousin Man-Man has been sitting in the cut waiting to see what shoe company Zion Williamson was going to sign with. Well playas…on Tuesday he went to his social media platform to announce that he was rocking with The Jordan Brand.
For the past few days folks have been going nuts about him becoming only the third hooper to join the Jordan Brand roster. He joins only Chris Paul and Young Russ (Russell Westbrook) as the faces of the brand. So now Williamson becomes the future of Jordan because the other two are, well, let’s face it, getting old.
His deal becomes the richest shoe contract for a rookie in NBA History (specifics haven’t been shared yet). Keep in mind that LeBron signed the 7 year $97 million deal with Nike before he’d even graduated from high school. So you’re telling me that Zion’s deal was sweeter? I’m not mad at him.
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Cats like Puma swooped in and offered ole boy upwards of $10 million per year to ride with them but he left that foolishness on the table. This kid understands what makes real sense early on. The Jordan Brand is the Gucci of sneakers. As a matter of fact, it’s bigger than Gucci when it comes to sneakers. Kids that have never even seen Jordan play are wearing his shoes because of the mystique of the Brand. Now they’ve got a cat that they can call their own? It’s about to be NUTS!!!
Nobody’s wearing Puma!! Stop it! I know that they’re trying to make a come back but nobody’s really wearing that foolishness. Zion signing with Puma would have been like Walter Payton signing with Kangaroos at the height of his career. He signed the deal, made the bread but NOBODY followed him down that rabbit hole. Boyz were NOT putting Kangaroos on their feet. No way no how!!!
Yes sir!!! The No.1 overall pick made the best business decision of his career by going with the most popular brand in the world. Kids will be lined up to wear his shoe for years to come. That’s why it’s called Kingdom Come. Stop me when I start lyin’!
