Allen Iverson started playing with the Philadelphia 76ers in 1996 and played 14 seasons in the NBA before officially retiring from basketball in 2013. Iverson won the Rookie of the Year award with the 76ers. 'The Answer' signed a unique endorsement deal with Reebok in 2001, where they agreed to pay him $800,000 per year for life while setting aside $32 million in a trust fund that he will receive when he turns 55 in 2030. Iverson's deal was revealed after his ex-wife filed for divorce, due to which he will inherit only half the fund. 

Before the NBA 2015-16 season, Adidas signed a 13-year $200 million contract with Rockets star which includes royalties and bonuses. Harden chose Adidas over Nike, who he had signed a rookie deal with in 2009. As per reports, Nike declined to match Adidas' offer to Harden. Harden is currently playing for the Rockets and will travel to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida for the NBA restart. Before the season was suspended on March 11 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Harden was averaging 34.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game.
