Jordan Brand announced the signing of Washington Wizards Bradley Beal and Brooklyn Jersey Nets up-and-comer Caris Levert to endorsement deals.
Beal told Jordan Brand in an interview that he was inspired to join the brand by Ray Allen.
“He had all the different colorways and even rocked retros. As a fan of his game, I’d see his feet, and he was in Jordans throughout his entire career. To this day, he rocks Jordans,” said Beal of Allen.
“I need something that I can move around in, because I’m a player who cuts a lot and uses my athleticism to get up and down the court. I need something that I don’t have to think about. Jordan uses top of the line materials and technology, so that made the decision a no-brainer,” said LeVert in an interview.
Beal was selected as the 3rd overall pick by the Wizards in 2012 and since then, he’s had two All-Star selections. LeVert, who was selected 20th overall in the 2016 NBA Draft, will enter his fifth NBA season. Beal will join Wizards teammates Russell Westbrook, Rui Hachimura and Moritz Wagner on the Jordan Brand roster while LeVert joins NBA veteran Jeff Green to present the brand on the Nets.
Other NBA stars playing for Jordan include Chris Paul, Jayson Tatum and Blake Griffin.
