Apparel giant Nike announced Wednesday that it has signed former UConn women’s basketball standout Maya Moore to be the first female basketball player to represent the Michael Jordan Brand.
Moore, who graduated from UConn earlier this month, is a two-time NCAA women’s basketball national champion and college basketball’s all-time leader in games won as a player.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“I am thrilled to welcome Maya Moore into the Jordan Brand,” Michael Jordan said in a statement Wednesday. “Not only has Maya proven to be a prolific winner on the court, but her hunger and determination to make an impact off the court makes her a valuable addition to the Jordan family. We look forward to working with Maya as she carries her success to the next level.”
During her four-year career she led the Huskies to a 150-4 record, including an NCAA Division I basketball record 90-game win streak.
