Derrick Rose Adidas Contract 2017
In 2012, Rose signed a 13-year contract with Adidas worth $185 million. Adidas saw Derrick’s potential and didn’t want to lose him to Nike. If Rose retires, Adidas won’t have to pay him for the remaining years of the contract. That’s one reason for Rose to stay in the NBA. If he stops driving the ball to the basket so much he might be able to avoid another injury.
