What Payton Pritchard said of choosing Converse shoe deal over Jaylen Brown’s 741s

The 2024-25 season has been a successful one so far for Celtics guard Payton Pritchard.

Not only is the 27-year-old Pritchard the frontrunner for the Sixth Man of the Year Award on one of the best teams in the NBA, but he also just signed a shoe deal with Converse last week.

Speaking ahead of Boston’s eventual 119-117 overtime win over the Knicks on Tuesday, Pritchard acknowledged that there were several interested companies looking to sign him before he opted for Converse — who also hold a shoe deal with NBA MVP frontrunner Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
