Respect. Michael Porter Jr. also mentions why he enjoys working with Puma; and what he hopes this extension will accomplish. Michael tells Boardroom TV:
“‘Puma has been so flexible with me. I have a unique set of issues because of injuries, and Puma is so willing to go the extra mile to make sure that I’m comfortable on the court. That’s something that I might not get with other brands.
[This is] something where I want it to be a career-long thing. Puma even betting on me and seeing a partnership going forward was really cool to me as well.’
The story that I always want to tell and that Puma can help me with is about getting through adversity, reaching your goals through the hard times, and believing in yourself. [Moreover] I’m sure with this new extension, we’ll be able to tell a unique story.’”
Very well said. There was a time Puma was no where in the sphere of basketball. People just mainly rolled with Nike. However, it’s nice to see Puma investing in players and fresh designs. Therefore, congratulations Michael and enjoy that extension.
