Spotted at PBJ
"The German company has dropped its bid to extend its apparel contract
with the league and instead will focus on developing new products,
endorsing more amateur teams and doubling its roster of NBA players.

company, which has its North American headquarters and basketball
division in Portland, has been the league's apparel partner since it signed an 11-year deal in 2006 for a reported $400 million. The company has been in talks with the NBA about an extension since 2012 but this month decided to walk away."
