“Potential NBA top draft pick LaMelo Ball signs with Puma”
LaMelo Ball has recently signed a multi-year shoe deal with Puma, prior to the NBA Draft.
Ball immediately becomes a key face of the brand at just 19 years-old, as he is one of the most popular basketball players in the world. “I am really excited to be joining the Puma family,” said LaMelo Ball. “I believe the brand is the perfect partner for me because Puma will allow me to just be myself. I want to be 100-percent authentic, whether that’s playing basketball or showing off my personal style and that’s what I want to do with Puma.”
LaMelo Ball started his famous lifestyle at Chino Hills High School, where he played with his 2 older brothers, as well as starting in a reality TV show, “Ball in the Family”. Ball went on to forgo his junior and senior year of high school, as well as college. As he went to Lithuania and then Australia to play professional basketball.
Ball who was dubbed “the most talented player in this years draft” by analyst Mike Schmitz is expected to launch his first product with Puma on November 18.
This article is news worthy because with LaMelo’s 5.6 million Instagram followers, he has a big sway on social media, which will directly correlate with Puma profiting largely off of Ball.
Any thoughts on whether someone so young, and still
mostly untested, should get these sorts of accolades?
