Joel Embiid has agreed to sign an endorsement deal wit Under Armour.
根据Yahoo体育网记者Pete Thamel的消息︰七六人队中锋Joel Embiid已经与Under
Armour签下代言合约。
Embiid is one of the NBA's most popular players and Under Armour hopes he
will buck the conventional wisdom against big men selling shoes.
Embiid是NBA最受欢迎的球星之一，UA希望借由签下他不仅能带来丰富收益，并且
挑战业界对于长人代言球鞋的相关传统迷思。
Embiid has been spotted wearing Under Armour shoes this preseason, including
at 76ers media day.
其实在尚未签约前，Embiid就已经被看到在热身赛穿着UA的球鞋，他甚至早在七六人
队媒体日就开始这个行为了。
“A lot of people, you know, always have that notion [that] big men can’t
sell shoes," Embiid said recently. "When I look at myself … I’m more than a
big man. So as far as signature shoes, I’m excited to come and break that.”
Embiid最近被问到球鞋代言的问题时，曾经对记者说出这些话︰“很多人都会有长人
没办法卖鞋的想法，你知道的。但当我看自己时，我觉得我不只是长人而已。所以
说到球星专属代言鞋，我不但很兴奋能进入其中，也希望能做出突破性的成绩。”
