For those keeping score at home, this milestone birthday marks five years until The Answer can access a $32 million trust fund on his 55th birthday along with a guaranteed $800,000 per year for the rest of his life as part of his historic backend loaded endorsement deal with Reebok.
“It shows a lot of commitment, and hopefully I can stand up to my part,” said Iverson after signing the landmark deal in 2001, per ESPN. “I didn’t have the greatest past in the world, but they always stood by me and always stood up for me when times were bad. This is another time they stood by me and I’m just looking forward to doing the best I can for Reebok.”
Fast-forward to October 2023 where Reebok named Iverson as VP of Basketball alongside new President and lifelong Reebok man Shaquille O’Neal who can seen reviving the brand on the Netflix docuseries Power Moves.
Whether they’ll succeed with the brand revamp remains to see seen, but signing Angel Reese as one of the fresh faces of Reebok is a great start for the NBA superstars-turned-corporate execs.
