Jordan Brand has signed Chicago native and 2013 Jordan Brand Classic co-MVP, Jabari Parker to their roster of growing on-court athletes. Parker broke the news himself this morning, tweeting out a photo of a gold Jumpman tie pin he’ll wear at tonight’s draft:
“We could not be more excited to have Jabari Parker officially join our Jordan Family,” says Larry Miller, Jordan Brand president. “Jabari’s character and commitment to excellence makes him a perfect fit with Jordan Brand and we are looking forward to building a legacy with him.” – Jordan Brand
Keep your eyes peeled for what’s to come from this new Parker X Jordan Brand partnership; maybe we’ll see a new signature line in the future. Below are three fun facts about Parker for those that may not have already known…
– According to analysts, Parker is expected to go in the top two. Jordan himself had to wait until No. 3 to hear his name called.
– The soon-to-be rookie forward claims to model his playing style after another Jordan Brand athlete, Carmelo Anthony, and joins other Jordan Brand stars including Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, Blake Griffin, Victor Oladipo and Kawhi Leonard.
– Parker was born the same year the brand released the popular Air Jordan XI (1995).
Go Jabari!
