Chicago Bulls star forward DeMar DeRozan has been the flag bearer for the past several season, particularly in this dimmer, Kobe-less world that we unfortunately find ourselves in.
Officially speaking, that will remain so for at least four more years. According to reporting from Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium, DeRozan signed a four year deal that will keep him the face of the Kobe line.
With DeRozan back in the fold for another four years, perhaps this will spur Nike to release some of his PEs and do so in a manner that will allow those who would want the shoe for the right reasons to have a genuine, realistic shot of obtaining them.
