Stephen Curry's $400M China Deal Could Change the Sneaker Industry

NBA star Stephen Curry has signed a reported $400 million deal with Chinese sportswear giant Li-Ning — a partnership that spans basketball, athleisure, golf, and gives Curry the ability to sign athletes under his own brand. CGTN's Sean Callebs spoke with Mike Bako, Sports Editor at DailyNational.com, about what the deal means for Li-Ning's global ambitions, how it stacks up against Nike and Under Armour's playbook, and whether Curry's move could reshape perceptions of Chinese sports brands worldwide. #bizshow #StephenCurry #LiNing #sportswear #NBA #CurryBrand #China #sneakers #sports
