Wilson Sporting Goods Co. recently announced a new partnership with Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah to provide a new basketball line.
The innovative line will be sold globally with its attention
focused in France, where Noah will do a number of appearances. Bearing
Noah's name and likeness, the line will showcase the hard work, passion,
spirit for life and style that he brings to the court.
“Wilson is so thrilled to partner with Joakim Noah,” said Alan Davenport, Global Business Director for Wilson Basketball. “His energy, passion and love for the game is undeniably authentic and we are really excited about working together. Joakim will be a great addition to the Wilson team. His knowledge of the game will help us to make new innovative products and he will be a great ambassador for our brand.”
Noah was college basketball's Most Outstanding Player in 2006 and won the 2006 and 2007 NCAA Men's Championship as a member of the University of Florida Gators men's basketball team.
“I am both excited and challenged to be working with Wilson to develop and market a first class basketball,” said Noah. “Wilson has always been a leader in sports globally and I look forward to working closely with them.”
With the NBA season starting in late December, Noah will begin his fifth season with the Chicago Bulls and compete alongside fellow Wilson Advisory Staff member Derrick Rose.
