A bidding war has come to a close as Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo has confirmed via Twitter that he has signed a long-term deal with Nike to remain with the brand. While the Swoosh has remained rather mum on the subject, adidas made the courtship public when they sent the Greek Freak a truck filled with Yeezys and Ultra Boosts. Given his inevitable superstardom and the hard push by adidas, it’s likely that Nike, who has plans of releasing a signature shoe for Giannis during the 2018-2019 season, had to pay a premium to retain his services.
Giannis has recently made headlines by stating that he would prefer to play in a “small market” city as the brighter lights and attention in a setting such as New York or Los Angeles might affect his productivity on the court. However, with social media allowing people to connect with celebrities and athletes from any distance and Giannis having international appeal, Nike and Giannis will do just fine in the Wisconsin city.
