If these reports are true and Durant accepted the offer, he would be making more money from Under Armour than the NBA.
His contract with Nike is coming to an end and suitors are lining up for him according to NY Daily News.
According to a person familiar with negotiations, Durant, whose seven-year, $60 million deal with Nike is expiring, could earn as much as $30 million annually if he signs with Under Armour Inc., whose headquarters are in Durant’s home state of Maryland.
Nike and Adidas are also in talks with Durant, whose combination of brilliance on the court and marketability in the aftermath of his emotional MVP speech has made him the darling of Madison Avenue.
He is going to get paid, the question is by who and how much.
