adidas Offers James Harden $200 Million USD
Harden could be ditching the Swoosh.
Houston Rockets star James Harden could be sporting the Three Stripes as soon as this upcoming season. According to Darren Rovell of ESPN, adidas has offered Harden — whose contract with Nike recently expired — a deal worth $200 million USD over 13 years, effectively locking the NBAer up through the rest of his career. As Rovell points out, the $200 million USD is especially noteworthy considering the German sportswear giant paid just twice that amount to be the NBA’s official uniform supplier through the 2016/17 season.
Nike has until the end of next week to match adidas’s offer.
