Kevin Durant could become the highest paid endorser in the NBA if he signs a deal with Under Armour worth approximately $30 million per year.

Durant's deal could be worth as much as $325 million over 10 years and include a financial stake in the company.

Durant has been with Nike since coming into the NBA.

$$$ Wow $$$ That's enough moolah to not only leave Nike, but to never miss them again, and I'm a huge fan of Nike shoe products. Is that the richest shoe endorsement deal in a 10 year period in history? If not, I'd like to know who beat this deal.

I love their new charged cotton shirts. The feel and fit is far superior to Nike or any other shirt I have tried. I have 5 or 6 of them now.

$325 over 10 years, he'd be a fool to turn that down. Really hope Nike don't offer $326. :lol:

Kinda like making a deal with the devil. If he takes the money they will own him. Tell him what team to sign with , maybe even telling him to stop playing for the Nike sponsored team USA. :lol:

If Nike offered me a deal of $270 Mil/10 years, id take it over this one. Nothing less though.

That's a monster of a deal for KD, he'd be a fool not to take it. Nike prob will cheap out on this deal, they recently stopped their sponsorship with Manchester United, which is pretty stupid considering they're one of the most richest franchises in the world.

Stake in company is all I need to hear. That could be a retirement job, signing new young players to UA.

Even when Kobe retires, his gear will out sell current players. Just like Jordan's still still sell like crazy.
