Zion Williamson Was Offered $19M Per Year By Li-Ning
李寧牌球鞋開給Zion Williamson的價碼是一年1900萬鎂
Zion Williamson recently signed the richest annual rookie shoe deal in NBA
history with Jordan Brand for $18M. Nike was not his only choice, and, in
fact, it wasn’t the highest-paying, either.
Zion Williamson最近剛簽下NBA史上最高的菜鳥鞋合約，與Jordan牌簽下一年1800萬鎂的
約。不過，Nike不是唯一一個提合約的公司，實際上，Nike的合約價也不是最高的那個。
According to ESPN’s Nick DePaula, Chinese shoe company Li-Ning had offered
Zion $19 million per year and even created seven different sneakers decked
out in Duke’s colors as part of their original pitch.
根據ESPN的Nick DePaula報導，中國李寧牌球鞋開給Zion的價碼是一年1900萬鎂，他們在
一開始想說服Zion簽約的時候還提出了7個不同的鞋款，用了Duke大學的顏色。

NBA star Dwyane Wade is partnered with Li-Ning, and the brand has been
successful in helping him spread his brand globally.
另外一位NBA球星Dwyane Wade也是與李寧牌合作，這公司也很成功的幫Wade的鞋子推廣到
全球。
Puma was also on the table for Williamson, apparently set to offer $18M
annually.
Puma也有提合約給Williamson，價格也是訂在每年1800萬鎂。
Despite the choices, he ultimately chose Jordan, in no small part thanks to
the basketball legend himself.
僅管選擇不少，Zion最終選了Jordan牌，很大一部分是因為Jordan這位籃球傳奇的緣故。
“I feel incredibly blessed to be a part of the Jordan Brand family,” said
Williamson. “Since I was a kid, I dreamed of making it to the league and
having the type of impact on the game Michael Jordan had and continues to
have today. He was one of those special athletes I looked up to, and I really
can’t express how happy and excited I am for this journey.”
「我感到非常的幸運，可以成為Jordan牌這大家庭的一份子，」Zion說。「從我小的時
候，就夢想可以到NBA打球，夢想我可以有著跟Michael Jordan一樣對比賽的影響力，一直
到現在。他是幾位我小時候就視為模範的幾位運動員之一，我真的很難表達現在我有多開
心。」
Zion will make $75M over the next five years with Nike, an unprecedented
contract for a guy who has yet to play a single NBA game. He is a humble,
likable face that seems to be headed down a historic path. His fame has
carried over well from Duke.
Zion接下來的五年可以從Nike那拿到7500萬鎂，對於一個連一場NBA比賽都還沒打得球員來
說是史無前例的。他是個謙虛讓人喜愛的球員，他在Duke打球的名聲也很好。
The bigger question is: how will his game hold up? For all the attention and
money he is making, we have yet to see any real evidence that Zion will be a
truly dominant force in the NBA. We can only hope…
最大疑問會是：他到底能打到多好? 這麼多的關注以及他已經拿到手的合約，但是到目前
為止還沒有真正的證據可以證明他可以在NBA裡成為掌控比賽的主要角色，我們只能期待
了...
