, Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant has established himself as one of brand’s most lucrative basketball athletes. It could’ve been very different . In a recent interview with ESPN, KD outlined how the much talked about bidding saga panned out.

‘That process was just too much mentally because I love Nike so much,’ says Durant.

‘I knew I had a supreme skill that needed to be compensated for, and I knew I played my way into having these negotiations. But I didn't want to start over at Under Armour or adidas. I knew where I wanted to be, and $300 million was more than enough.

KD’s decision looks to be the correct one, with behind LeBron James and Kyrie Irving. He’s also got bragging rights over his GSW teammate and Under Armour golden boy Steph Curry, who comes in at fourth.
