The first overall pick in 2009, Blake Griffin, believed to have signed an endorsement contract for less than $500,000 per year.Read more: http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/67108/20100609/wall_signs_$25m_endorsement_deal_with_reebok/#ixzz0qPMfPSTkWojYahooNBA Reebok is banking that John Wall, the projected No. 1 overall pick, will take over for Allen Iverson as the face of the brand. WojYahooNBA Huge score for Wall, especially after last year's top pick, Blake Griffin, is believed to have earned a deal less than 500K a year. Sources say that Wall's reps, Dan Fegan and Brian Clifton, negotiated two guaranteed 'signature shoes' in the Reebok deal. Didn't know where else to post this, so I just posted it here. Feel free to move it if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crabbylion Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Wow, that's one heck of a difference in just a year. From 500K to 25 million!!! I do think that it'll be a little longer after next season before Wall "replaces" Iverson as the face of Reebok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think that it'll be a little longer after next season before Wall "replaces" Iverson as the face of Reebok.It's $500k to $5 million per year. He's getting $25 million over the course of 5 years lol. Still, glad to see our soon to be star is getting some endorsement deals. Hopefully he can help Reebok finally make some decent looking basketball shoes. Edited June 10, 2010 by JWaLL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWaLL Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 reebok? what a horrible choice. adidas ftwWell he's going to be the face of the company rather than one of many stars included in another. Who knows, maybe he could help turn the company around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moeroadkill Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 oh I could care less I would probably go for the less popular as well so I could be the 'main' guy or the 'face' of the company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammin Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Didn't LeBron sign a $90 million over 10 years with Nike before he even played a game? Look how that worked out for Nike. In all honesty.. Most basketball shoes are basically the same. Some have better ankle support/lighter weight etc but they're all basically the same.
