Oklahoma City Thunder rookie Darius Bazley showed off his favorite collection of New Balance shoes worn throughout this season on the hardwood.
Of course, the former five-star prospect bypassed playing collegiately last year to prepare for the NBA Draft and intern with New Balance. Bazley signed a five-year endorsement deal with New Balance worth up to $14 million with $1 million guaranteed.
Shortly after signing Bazley, the apparel company signed Kawhi Leonard as the two are at the forefront of helping New Balance re-enter the basketball market after last sponsoring James Worthy in the 1980s.
As the NBA is on hiatus from the regular season due to the coronavirus pandemic, Bazley has been staying busy with his Thunder teammates. He joined Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in a TikTok video and the two even got an assist from Chris Paul in the clip.
Bazley averaged 4.5 points and 3.7 rebounds in 53 games this season before the shutdown.
