The Goods Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Blake Griffin, the first overall selection in this year's NBA draft, is close to signing an endorsement deal with Nike, sources said. It is not clear when or if the deal will be announced, but it could be the first major shoe deal for a high-profile NBA player selected in last month's draft. Griffin is widely regarded as the most marketable rookie in what has been a down market for player endorsements. Griffin's agent Jeff Schwartz would not comment. Nike officials gave no immediate comment. --Liz Mullen, SportsBusiness Journal http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/The_Baseline/entry/view/28662/sources_blake_griffin_close_to_endorsement_deal_with_nike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
