Dejounte Murray: For me, it’s just being a human and wanting to feel wanted and that love and support. You want it to feel authentic, and it’s really real and genuine. They were really supportive before I even signed with them. When I signed, everything changed, and it fit. They’re up and coming in the sports world, I think, since signing Kawhi (Leonard) and adding extra players. I think more so it was the support. You could feel the love, whether you see each other in person or you’re texting and on Zoom calls. Everybody wants the best for each other. Where it’s going for the players, I think they’re doing very well as far as picking the right guys with great character that you can hold accountable off the floor and also on the floor to continue to grow and get better while representing the brand. We represent ourselves first and foremost and the brand as well. I think we’re going in the right direction. I love all the guys, New Balance, the love and support, and the direction we’re going.
