Chinese shoe company ices NBA; could Klay Thompson’s colossal deal be in jeopardy?

The fallout from the China-NBA cold war could hit some NBA players where it hurts most — in their shoe contracts.

According to Reuters, China’s Anta sports announced Tuesday it will discontinue contract renewal negotiations.

Several NBA stars have contracts with Anta, including three Warriors: Jacob Evans III Kevon Looney and Klay Thompson. The trio appeared in Oaklandish last weekend where Thompson launched his newest Anta product, the KT5 shoe.

Welcome to the squad ! @j.n.e.iii @looney we got some heat for you this season! Thank you @oaklandish for hosting the KT5 launch and to the warrior fans who came out and showed loved!
