Trae Young signs with Jordan!

Today, an agreement has been announced between Trae Young and the Jordan brand to have a sponsorship for the upcoming years. The superstar from the Atlanta Hawks has been one of the most media-friendly players practically since he entered the league back in 2018, and this move confirms it once again.

"Having the opportunity to join a brand with a history of greatness is surreal. For me, it's about setting the standard for those who come after you. I'm grateful that MJ has done that for people like me, and my goal is to try to continue that legacy for kids, including my brother, who come after me."

Why Jordan Brand? It's Jordan Brand. There's not much else to say. This brand embodies basketball, style, the desire to win, and be great. I'm very excited to join the family and get to work. Oklahoma became a Jordan Brand school in 2018, just after I entered the NBA Draft.

I remember thinking that I wish I had the chance to wear the Jumpman in college, but everything has come full circle. I'm excited to be a Jordan Brand athlete, and I'm sure there will be opportunities for OU and I to work together."

The logo

"When I look at the Jumpman, the first thing that comes to mind is culture. Jordan Brand sets the tone for basketball culture and embodies greatness. The Jumpman truly speaks for itself, and I'm excited to join the family."

The first time

"When you're a kid, you always dream of putting on your first pair of Jordans. You put them on, feel invincible, like you could conquer the world. As a kid, I always stood a little taller when I wore my Jordans."

The signing

"Being a Jordan Brand athlete and putting on my Jordans again feels amazing. Joining this family is a moment that closes the circle and an honor that excites me a lot."

Risk

"Following the crowd and blindly following others. To be great, you have to step out of your comfort zone, even if it means facing criticism or ridicule."

Not waiting

"I say you have to be aggressive, go after what you want, and pave your own way. Every day is a new opportunity to work hard. As I like to say, it's always 'Another day, another chance.' Waiting your turn will never take you where you want to go to reach your dreams."
