Klay Thompson has always stood out of the crowd in his career. The 4-time NBA champion has earned a reputation as a lights-out shooter from beyond the arc, possessing an extraordinary shot-making skill only few could match.

His abilities earned him five All-Star nods and two All-NBA selections as well. However, his success has not just been limited to his basketball accolades.

In 2014, Thompson signed with the Chinese company, ANTA, for his shoe deal. He then renegotiated his contract with the company in 2017, signing a whopping $80M deal that tied him to the company for 10 years.

In a market dominated by Nike, Thompson’s bold choice earned him tremendous success. However, 7 years after his major decision, he was joined by the Dallas Mavericks guard, Kyrie Irving.

After being ditched by Nike due to his controversies, Irving inked a staggering $126M deal with the $28.14 billion company. After this deal, Thompson put out an Instagram story, posing with his ANTA shoes. He captioned the story, “We really doing it big out here”.
