Kevin Durant Advocates for Steph Curry to Join Nike After Under Armour Split

Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant expressed a strong desire for his former Warriors teammate Steph Curry to sign with Nike, following Curry's mutual split from Under Armour. Durant stated, "He should have always been a Nike athlete," despite acknowledging no disrespect to Under Armour. Durant, who signed a lifetime contract with Nike in April 2023—making him the third NBA player to do so—has had a relationship with the brand since 2007 and has released 18 versions of his signature KD shoes.
