What people say/choose.
Kevin Durant:
"The folks in Beaverton will reportedly pay Durant approximately $300 million over the next 10 years, keeping the Nike KD signature line humming along in the process. Since news broke that Under Armour threw a substantial offer in front of Durant and put his sneaker loyalty up for sale, many wondered if this would mark a major shift in how elite players and sports apparel giants do business. Could Under Armour, a new company on the shoe scene, afford to invest so much of their resources into one player? Could Nike afford to let the second-best player in the world go?"Kobe Bryant:
"The Los Angeles Lakers legend was the NBA's third-highest earner last year in terms of basketball shoe sales, producing an estimated $50 million for Nike."
