Fresh off an NBA Finals Championship Run Golden State Warriors super star Stephen Curry is reportedly close to signing a lifetime deal with Under Armour worth $1 Billion. Curry would be joining very rare company while Lebron James, Micheal Jordan and Manchester United Super Star Cristiano Ronaldo are the only other athletes to have lifetime deals.
After Leaving Nike, Curry Joined Under Armour in 2013 and has 9 signature sneakers with the 10th coming soon. Curry has his own line/brand with Under Armour similar to the Jordan and Nike Deal. Curry’s current contract keeps him at Under Armour till 2024, but It seems Under Armour wants to get ahead of the deadline to secure a lifetime deal with Curry.
While nothing has been signed yet or announced and negotiations are still going on, things are certainly looking like the partnership will continue. For now take a look down below at the Under Armour Curry One and Two sneakers.
Karl-Anthony Towns is one of the best big men in the NBA. Over this last season, it let it be known to add the best shooting big man in the history of the NBA. During the 3 Point Contest during All-Star Weekend, he captured the 3 Point Championship in record fashion. KAT put the league on notice this season averaging 24.6 PPG, 9.8 REB, and 1.1 BLK, and looked unstoppable. Karl has the best inside and out game of any big man in the NBA and continues to improve yearly. One thing that people gush about when it comes to Karl-Anthony Towns is his leadership skills and his willingness to be the best teammate.
KAT came into the NBA as a young pup and now he’s a seasoned big dog showing players like Anthony Edwards how to be true professionals. Karl Anthony Towns has a smooth jumper and he demands a lot of attention in the paint at all times from defenses. KAT should be in the MVP conversation this upcoming season as he will have more energy to exert on both ends now. Karl has been able to help this Minnesota team get back to playoff contenders and with the addition of Rudy Gobert this offseason the sky is the limit for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves will go as far as number 32 brings them in a packed Western Conference.
Karl-Anthony Towns has been a Nike guy since he stepped foot in the NBA. Karl has been rocking Nike Hyperdunks in the league and when off court you can catch him in stylish Off-Whites. A couple of years back he was shutting the game down with his customs. So below we have some of the PEs that he rocked this past season as we get ready to see what he got coming in the 2022-2023 season.

Chris Paul’s one of the best NBA Point Guards of all time. If I was starting an NBA team and I needed someone that I know can lead my team to greatness it would be CP3. Last season Chris and the Suns didn’t get back to the NBA Finals like the previous year but they brought back DeAndre Ayton. Chris Paul has been able to get the best out of Devin Booker and DeAndre Ayton since arriving in Phoenix. Chris Paul averaged 14.7 PPG and 10.8 AST in the 2022-2023 season. Chris has the skillset that is rare to find in the NBA now because he can pass at the highest level while getting to his spot to score at will. CP3 is a sure Hall of Famer and will be able to get the Suns in a position to win a lot of games on a yearly basis. Chris Paul has been practically unstoppable since he started his vegan diet. CP3 has been able to play the most minutes per game last season since 2014.
Chris Paul has one of the best Jordan collections in existence. Also, CP3 is one of a very select few players that have been able to have their own sneakers with Jordan Brand. Chris Paul has some of the best Air Jordan PEs of all time and he was able to rock the CP3.XII/CP3.XIII this past season. Below we showcase some of the PEs that CP3 has rocked over the years that we wish hit the public.

The NBA and Jordan Brand’s brightest young superstar is getting his own signature shoe, during the 2021-22 NBA season Tatum probably had some of the most unique and most wanted PEs of the Jordan 36.
After a season to the right where averaging 26.9 ppg, taking the toughest road in the playoffs where the C’s faced the Brooklyn Nets, Milwaukee Bucks, and Miami Heat, this was somewhat of a revenge tour as the team had knocked them out of the layoffs in the past, against all odds Tatum was able to lead the Celtics to the 22nd Finals appearance where they fell to the Golden State Warriors.

Tatum has shown fans that he will eventually be the next face of the league but last season cemented his superstardom and that warrants an overdue signature. The Jordan Tatum 1 will make its debut in 2023, expected to launch in three inspired colorways, “Zoo,” “St. Louis,” and “Pink Lemonade” makeups. Each shoe will include person branding with inspiration nodding to his son Deuce and some of Tatum’s favorite things.
Jordan Tatum 1 “Zoo” Color: Black/Metallic Gold-University Red-Beach Style Code: TBD Release Date: April 7, 2023 Price: $120
Jordan Tatum 1 “St. Louis” Color: White/University Red-University Blue-University Gold Style Code: TBD Release Date: April 18, 2023 Price: $120
Jordan Tatum 1 “Pink Lemonade” Color: Pink Tint/Barely Volt-Lava Glow-Aurora Green Style Code: TBD Release Date: June 20, 2023 Price: $120
Look for the Jordan Tatum 1 styles to begin releasing during Summer 2023 in family sizing at select retailers and Nike.com set at $120 USD.
Seemingly out of nowhere, on September 1st, 2022, the basketball world received news that the Utah Jazz’s star guard Donovan Mitchell will be sent to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Basketball fans were unsure if the Jazz were set on rebuilding around Mitchell or having a complete overhaul of their roster, which has now been made clear with the 25-year-olds departure. But with one question answered, another is presented, “Who won this trade?”
It would seem that the simple answer here would be that the Cavs won the trade, having a big-time name like Donovan Mitchell join upcoming talent in Darius Garland and Issac Okoro. But it isn’t as one-sided as many may see. Although the Utah Jazz has gone into a “rebuild” mode, it goes without saying that they still have a number of pieces to work with. Sexton and Markkanen will be joining Bojan Bogdanovic and Sixth Man of the Year winner Jordan Clarkson, with other recent additions made like Malik Beasley and Talen Horton-Tucker. Yes, the Jazz more than likely need some time to get things on track, but in regards to the long-term, find themselves in a solid position.

Malik Monk has emerged as one of the bright young stars in the NBA. Last year in LA with the Lakers he was able to showcase a lot of the talent that people have been waiting for from his Kentucky days. Monk had himself a great season and in free agency ended up going to the Sacramento Kings to reunite with his college teammate De’Aaron Fox. On the court, Malik Monk has a quick first step and he is a walking bucket. He hoops in Kobes and has some player exclusives that definitely turn heads on a nightly basis.
Check out some of the Player Exclusives he rocked while wearing the Purple/Gold in the 2021-2022 season.
