Klay Thompson Locks In ANTA Lifetime Deal with Mavericks

Merlin sees Mavericks sharpshooter Klay Thompson signing a lifetime endorsement with ANTA, revealed Friday. Thompson said, "When I started wearing ANTA, my career just took off. I was able to break some records, win some championships." The pact traces back to 2014, has moved over 10 million shoes, and places Klay among the few superstars with lifetime deals alongside LeBron and Durant. Merlin notes the deal locks in Klay’s brand legacy and gives ANTA stronger global footing, especially in Asia where Klay called his time "so special." On court he still spaces the floor, shooting 37.5 percent from deep for Dallas, and off court he will keep driving signature releases and international marketing.
