Silent on ?Betrayal? Remarks, 19YO Paolo Banchero?s Massive Feat Gets Honor of Michael Jordan?s $5,000,000,000-Worth Company

Michael Jordan?s ?Jordan? brand is easily one of the most highly touted brands in all of sports. Despite being owned by Nike, many NBA players tend to lean towards signing with the Jordan brand instead of its parent company. And one of them was last year?s number-one pick of the 2022 NBA draft, who recently got a gift from MJ?s own brand.

Paolo Banchero was very recently in the news for supposedly ?betraying? the nation of Italy by suiting up for the US for the upcoming FIBA World Cup. Though silent on the remarks made about him, Banchero got something to distract him from all the drama surrounding him.

Michael Jordan’s brand honors Banchero’s year

After being drafted number one overall by the Orlando Magic, Paolo Banchero went on to sign a deal with the Jordan Brand. Being in talks with other brands like Adidas and Puma, Banchero could not avoid the allure of signing with the Chicago Bulls legend?s brand.

Paolo Banchero had an excellent rookie year with the Orlando Magic. He averaged 20.0 PPG, 6.9 RPG, and 3.7 APG on a 52.9 true shooting percentage. His amazing outing throughout the season got him the 2022-23 NBA Rookie of the Year award.

Not only that, but Banchero also got a ?Player Exclusive? shoe from the $5 billion Jordan Brand himself on his campus visit to Beaverton, Orlando. The shoes were encased in a glass panel box, with custom embroidery to add a certain touch to it.

The shoes chosen for Banchero?s jersey number customization were the Air Jordan XX3. The box commemorated his ROTY win along with his season-high game of 33 points, 16 rebounds, and 9 assists.
