According to ESPN’s Darren Rovell, Nike has countered Under Armour’s massive 10-year contract premium to Kevin Durant, and the Swoosh brand believes it is enough to keep Kevin Durant for the next ten years (and perhaps the rest of his career). Exact figures of Nike’s premium haven’t been disclosed, but it is certainly more than the initial $20 million-per-year premium and more than he will be paid as an NBA athlete. We’ll have more details for you as more info emerges, but for now, it looks like Kevin Durant will stay with Nike and more KD 7 colorway will be on the way.. Your thoughts? Stay tuned for the latest.
