Another day, another million dollars for Jay-Z.
The rap mogul is reportedly close to signing NBA star Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder to his sports management agency Roc Nation Sports. According to ESPN.com, a trusted source reports that Durant has already extended his contract with the Thunder back in 2010, so Roc Nation won’t be negotiating a new contract for him, which means you won’t be seeing KD rocking a Brooklyn Nets jersey anytime soon. Instead, Roc Nation will help to re-brand Durant and land him some more endorsement deals. Durant is already the face of several products like Nike, Sprint, and Gatorade.
Durant’s former agent Rob Pelinka, the head of Landmark Sports Agency, released a statement that confirmed Durant’s decision to be without representation.
“We are honored and blessed to have worked on behalf of Kevin, for a brief period of time,” Pelinka said. “He is an amazing person and athlete, and we are proud of our work and service towards advancing his brand in a manner that reflects the mutual qualities we share with Kevin. We wish him nothing but success in his future endeavors.”
Roc Nation Sports has been on fire since launching back in April 2013. Before seeking Durant, RNS has already signed New York Yankees star Robinson Cano, New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith and WNBA star Skylar Diggins.
With Jay-Z behind Kevin Durant, he’s sure to be taken to the next level. We may see his endorsements double soon. One of them could be a modeling gig. KD’s style is impeccable, to say the least. #gotswag
I do not believe that this would be a good move or look for Durant. Right now he is well respected and I believe being teamed with Jay-Z would taint that image considering Jay-Z past adventures (failed clubs and non payments).
It isn’t usually easy to remain positive, but bordering myself with terrific close friends and also a suportive relatives often causes it to be less complicated. I remind myself continuously that every day is often a present, and we have been fortunate to awaken each and every early morning and get component in it…
Hello there! I know this is kind of off topic
but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for
this site? I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues
with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform.
I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of
a good platform.
