The new jumpers are Rui Yamura and Jayson Tatum.

JORDAN BRAND, which boasts more than 50 athletes from a variety of sports, has signed basketball player Rui Yamura, who was recently selected in the first round of the NBA draft by the Washington Wizards, and Jayson Tatum, who is in his third year in the NBA.

Incidentally, Rui Yamura is the first Japanese-born athlete to sign a contract with Jordan Brand. He said, "I feel very special to be a part of the Jordan Brand family. It is one of the best brands in the world, and I think it is great to be a member of it".

, and Jayson Tatum, a St. Louis native who has loved "Jordan Brand" since he was a kid. He was the third overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft and set multiple playoff scoring records in his first postseason. Now in his third year as a professional, he is taking his first steps as a " Jordan Brand " athlete.

Japanese basketball has become so strong that it is no longer second to none in the world, with players such as Yuta Tagase in the past and Yuta Watanabe now with the Memphis Grizzlies. I would say that this Hachimura's case suggests that this is the case. . Anyway, I can't help but look forward to the future.
