Then, following his number two overall selection by the Los Angeles Lakers, and now Summer League competition, he is still very much believed to be so.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Russell announced that he signed with Nike, a choice many saw coming a mile away. Russell wore Nike Basketball heat all throughout high school at\u00a0Montverde Academy, during his short stint at Ohio State, and in the infant stages of his current rookie season in the Association.<\/p>\n<p>Many reports indicated there was a bidding war between Nike and adidas for his services.\u00a0And even if that is in fact true, Nike got the better of that battle as confirmed today. Stay tuned for more on this story and to see what Swoosh heat Russell continues to pull out in Summer League play and when the 2015-16 release season starts in a few months.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">It&#8217;s official NIKE! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/JustDoIt?src=hash\">#JustDoIt<\/a> ????????<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 D&#8217;Angelo Russell (@Dloading) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Dloading\/status\/621894786581041152\">July 17, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Dloading\" target=\"_blank\">Dloading<\/a>\/<a href=\"http:\/\/www.usatodaysportsimages.com\" target=\"_blank\">USA Today Sports<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming into the 2015 NBA Draft, former Ohio State Buckeye D&#8217;Angelo Russell was presumed to be the biggest draw from&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":137731,"featured_media":456396,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,1224791],"tags":[1225236,1225736],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) -
