Kristaps Porzingis has signed a 7 year deal with Adidas as announced by the brand itself, as Nike didn’t match the offer to extend their collaboration.
The deal is making Porzingis the highest paid non US born NBA player as a sports brand endorser and will play him between $3 million and $6 million annually, depending on incentive bonuses met as US media have reported.
His New York Knicks teammate Derrick Rose is also one of the company’s biggest endorsers.
The future is brighter than ever.
