The year 2023 has been monumental for women’s basketball and female athletes, for both WNBA and NCAA stars. Among these rising stars, one name has shone particularly bright: Stanford’s Cameron Brink. Known for her explosive blocks and close ties to NBA superstar Stephen Curry and his family, Brink made headlines on and off the court.

One month after Brink’s historic sneaker deal with New Balance, $31B valued Nike has signed a phenomenal 21-year-old guard.

Paige Bueckers, a dream realized with Nike

Another young basketball sensation is now grabbing the spotlight. UConn women’s basketball guard Paige Bueckers, 21, has signed a contract with Nike. The sportswear juggernaut’s announcement is a key turning point in Bueckers’ career.

In a statement expressing her excitement, Bueckers said, “I am blessed and honored to announce my partnership with Nike. Joining the Nike family is a childhood dream come true. I can’t wait to see what we accomplish together on and off the court.”

This partnership isn’t just a short-term agreement; it represents a multiyear commitment between Bueckers and Nike. What’s more, it leaves the door open for potential extensions even as she transitions into her professional career.

Bueckers’ journey to this point hasn’t been without its challenges. Just one year back, she suffered a severe injury with a torn ACL, which unfortunately forced her to miss the entire season. Fast forward to today, the Minnesota native has moved past the setback, and she has just signed a mega deal with Nike. Now, that is the story of a winner.

Ahead of the upcoming NCAA season, Bueckers is set to return for her third season with UConn. Moreover, fans will also keep an eye out for 6’4″ Brink’s performances.

While Paige Bueckers celebrates her “dream come true” with Nike, though, Cameron Brink, has already blazed a trail of her own.

Cameron Brink snubbed brother Stephen Curry and paved the way

Just last month, Brink made history by signing a groundbreaking NIL deal with New Balance, becoming the first female basketball player to join the New Balance roster.

Cameron Brink’s achievements on the court speak for themselves. Apart from having familial ties with the NBA great Stephen Curry, she has won 4 NCAA All-Americans, WBCA Defensive Player of the Year, and the FIBA 3×3 World Cup MVP. With her immense on-court talent and off-court recognition, she has paved the way for the future NCAA generations to come. Upon signing a mouth-watering deal, Brink became the first female basketball player on the New Balance roster.

By joining New Balance, Brink snubbed the Stephen Curry-endorsed $3.1B brand Under Armour. However, she is a natural choice for a brand known for pushing boundaries and shattering preconceptions because of her ability to rule the hardwood and inspire female athletes all across the world.
