Curry Brand and Under Armor are keeping an eye on the next generation, both boys and girls. The last SEC Conference final between LSU and South Carolina allowed MiLaysia Fulwiley to confirm her potential by finishing as the match's top scorer (24 points), making her outside shot admired.
Enough to convince the leader of the Warriors, via his equipment supplier, to sign it with Curry Brand. She is the first NCAA athlete signed in this way, on a multi-year contract which will begin during the final NCAA tournament.
“She’s shaking up women’s basketball with the way she plays and moves around the court. She has a unique style and a certain flow to her playing that few people have seen in a long time”, said Stephen Curryas president of Curry Brand.
Note, however, that MiLaysia Fulwiley was already linked to Stephen Curry for having played on his AAU team, “Team Curry”, also sponsored by Curry Brand. Furthermore, she is the second athlete signed by Stephen Curry's brand after De'Aaron Fox, the Kings' All-Star point guard.
