B Diddy Baron Davis Signs Deal with Li-Ning
Sep 09, 2008 | Comments 7
A source close to KixandtheCity.com has informed us that Baron "B. Diddy" Davis has left Reebok to sign a deal with Chinese Footwear giant Li-Ning. Davis had been endorsed by Reebok as recently as last season. Unlike Jason Kidd, who recently left Nike for the Chinese Peak footwear brand, Baron Davis is still very much in the prime of his career and with his recent move to the LA Clippers, B. Diddy will be playing in one of the biggest sports markets in the US.
With Josh Childress opting to play in Europe next year, Shane Battier and Jason Kidd endorsed by Peak, and B. Diddy now with Li-Ning, US based Basketball and US based footwear brands might be up against some staunch competition from abroad.

Now, his collection tallies somewhere near 500 pairs and includes everything from GRs, to QSs, to TZs, to 1 of 1s, to PEs, to Friends and Familys, and anything, and everything in between. His favorite sneaker of all time is the Air Jordan VIII. Beyond loving the physical sneaker, MaZe loves the culture behind it. When MaZe is not in front of the PC working on KATC, he's probably copping kix and making moves.

"Baron Davis" and "prime" is an oxymoron.
Three B+/B level players go to overseas brands and its considered staunch competition?!?
hold the hell up how dare yall play b diddy like that he's one of the top 5 pg's in the L and he'd buss most 2 guards *** that dude is a problem and an A player Aplus when healthy
I agree that B -- Diddy is a top Pg --- but that is besides the point --- no one is going to buy LI-Ning kicks --even if it were Lebron or Kobe no one would cop them --- Bdiddy went for a pay day plain and simple
Shaquille O'neal is a part of it, he argentina guy from rocket is part of it, and chuck hayes is too.
