Brandon Jennings, the high school basketball phenom who took his ball and went to Europe, has signed a shoe deal with Under Armour.
"Jennings is the first basketball shoe endorser for the brand, which has signed him to a multi-year contract that is incentive based. Although Jennings has a three-year deal with the Italian team, it is well known that he has an out after each year.
"The endgame is for Brandon to make it the NBA and be the impact player that everyone is predicting that he'll be," said Steve Battista, Under Armour's senior vice president of brand.
In case you haven't heard of Jennings, and why he decided to play for Pallacanestro Virtus Roma of the Italian pro league instead of in the NBA, ESPN's Andy Katz can educate you.
