Derrick Rose is at the top of his game. The reigning MVP, and arguably one of the best players in the league, is set to sign a $250 million contract with adidas this year. The “lifetime” deal would keep him in adidas attire for the next 10 years.  If the deal goes through, this would make the Chicago Bulls player the highest-paid shoe endorser in the NBA.

Nice! 3 Stripes 4 Life!
