Brandon Jennings
When the Bucks drafted Brandon Jennings with the 10th overall pick, they believe a star was born in Milwaukee.
“I think he’s going to come in and impact us,” assistant coach Kelvin Sampson said. “Our point guard position right now is significantly better than it was at this time a year ago, and that’s a fact.”

Brandon Jennings believes fellow 2009 draftee Ricky Rubio is an overhyped prospect.
“Well, put it like this: If he was in a workout with me [and fellow point-guard prospects] Jonny Flynn, Jrue Holiday, Tywon Lawson, Stephen Curry, he wouldn’t probably be at the top,” Jennings said Friday.

For many young athletes making the transition to the pros, usually an endorsement deal with Nike, Reebok, or Adidas also gets included — but not for Brandon Jennings! It has been reported that he has just inked an endorsement deal with Under Armour. Sources have stated, it is a four year, $2 million deal and they will make Jennings the “centerpiece of their emerging basketball division.”
NBA Rumors was created by three college grads who played Division III NCAA basketball for Berkeley College. Back then, basketball was our life. A day did not go by without us talking about what was going on in the NBA.
Today, we are all working in our respective industries in Midtown Manhattan. And two years after we graduated, basketball started to fall out of our radar as we started spending more time in the office and less time on the court. Therefore, we created this blog to reunite our passion for the love of NBA and basketball across the world.
We hope that you will enjoy our blog. We are intensively working on our coffee breaks to bring you the best rumors that the NBA has to offer.
Sincerely,
