Nike continues to sign rookies for the 2021 Draft. A few hours after Moses Moody, we learn that James Bouknight has also signed up with the comma mark.
The 11th choice of the Draft, which will play in Charlotte, himself confirmed it to the Boardroom site: “As far back as I can remember I have worn Nike. I grew up wearing Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving or Kobe Bryant. I couldn’t see myself other than a Nike athlete. “
With this sixth recruit, Nike is thus distancing itself from adidas, which had signed most of its new muses even before the Draft.
Adidas : Jalen Green (2e), Evan Mobley (3e), Jalen Suggs (5e), Sharife Cooper (48e)
Nike : Cade Cunningham (1er), Scottie Barnes (4e), Jonathan Kuminga (7e), James Bouknight (11e), Chris Duarte (13e), Moses Moody (14e)
