(Stay) Nike Or (Go) Under Armour Is The Choice For Kevin Durant

The NBA reigning MVP and scoring champion, is looking to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to that elusive NBA Championship. Durant has already won an Olympic gold medal now he wants to win the Larry O'Brien trophy. He's a NBA free agent in 2 years, however he's a sneaker free agent this year. When Durant left the University of Texas back in 2007 he was drafted by the Seattle Supersonics who are the OKC Thunder. Durant took less money from Nike instead of signing with Adidas. Fast forward 7 years later I don't know if Nike is banking on Durant doing the same thing. The numbers that's floating out their is $265 million being offered by Under Armour. UA founder is from the DMV area like Kevin and if he could land KD, you would think UA would go to another level as a company. Shortly after the 2014 NBA Finals ended Durant latest signature shoe came out. Then KD became a free man in the sneaker world. A decision should be made shortly on which way he decides whether that's to stay or to go.
