The offseason has been crazy this year as numerous changes have been made with teams and in the NBA as a whole with new schedules and new rules. Here are a couple of updates in the NBA free agency scene:

-Shoe endorsement contracts play a significant role in the NBA as shoe brands try their best to lure the best possible player to increase revenue. Big names in the NBA all have their own shoe deals with Kevin Durant and LeBron James under Nike, Derek Rose and John Wall under Adidas, and Steph Curry under Under Armour.

Nick Depaul of NBA ESPN reported that the NBA MVP has re-signed with the Jordan Brand to a 10-year contract this offseason. The deal will also include on and off the court sneakers and an Ambassador Clause which will take effect once he retires from the NBA
