Stephen Curry Tried To ‘Steal’ Caitlin Clark From Nike In A Closed-Door Curry Brand Pitch

Caitlin Clark is the golden girl of the moment, the wave everyone wants to ride to secure a place in women’s basketball that sooner rather than later will have its relevance. And it seems Stephen Curry also wanted to be part of Clark’s success.

According to reports from Bleacher Report, Curry was involved in an offer that would have Clark sign with the Under Armour family and the Curry brand.

Caitlin Clark recently announced that she reached an agreement with Nike to be the official brand of her signature shoes for a multimillion-dollar amount, which, according to reports, could reach up to $20 million.

But Curry had other plans. According to sources familiar with the matter, Curry and Clark met so Under Armour could present their vision for the shoes, similar to what happened with Michael Jordan and Nike in that iconic deal signed by his mother. In the end, Caitlin signed with Nike, and Steph couldn’t “pull Nike out of the deal.”

Caitlin Clark’s first Nike signature shoe has already caused controversy with A’ja Wilson. While most fans are excited for the upcoming shoe, a subsection of WNBA fans took the opportunity to rant about Clark getting a signature before A’ja Wilson.

It’s a fair question to ponder. Wilson is, quite literally, the best player in the league. And she was the best player in college when she was at South Carolina.The only active WNBA players with a signature shoe at the moment are Breanna Stewart (Puma), Elena Delle Donne (Nike) and Sabrina Ionescu (Nike).
