Patrick Patterson Joins PEAK for Office Tip Off Party

Former Kentucky star Patrick Patterson joined PEAK for an office tip off party in its Clover City offices.

Slamonline.com talked to the former Wildcat. Here is an excerpt:

SLAM: How’d your deal with PEAK come about?

Patterson: Pretty much I talked to Nike, talked to adidas, and PEAK, because of the Houston Rockets organization. When Yao came here he brought all this Chinese media and attention here. (PEAK) seemed to care more about me. They wanted to take care of me first as a person and my family and also … in a sense of representing their organization.

I felt more comfortable with them. I just felt like that family feel. They’re easy to talk to, you can call any time you want. I can put my advice and thoughts into some apparel and they’ll listen. That’s definitely something that attracted me to them.

SLAM: Are you enjoying getting free stuff?

Patterson: (I get) free stuff from PEAK. Shoes, apparel … I just call them for whatever I want. The best thing about the NBA over college is the free stuff. Your teammate is sponsored by Jordan. ‘Yo, can I get some shoes?’ Your teammate is sponsored by Nike or adidas. ‘Yo, can I get some shoes, can I get some apparel?’ The free stuff is all over the place. There are so many people out there who are well connected and you can ask them for a favor.

My teammate Jarred Jeffries is with Jordan and I’m like, ‘Yo, can I get those Jordans?’ Because in high school that’s what you always wear, Jordans. I get the shoes that I never got. Same with Nike and adidas. Now that I’m with PEAK, I’m making calls left and right to see if I can get this shoe to wear, see if I can get these clothes. It helps them as well because if I’m wearing stuff, people are like, ‘Man, what you got on? I want that too.’

Being from Kentucky, the big blue nation’s everywhere. They see something on Kentucky players and they’ll be quick to buy it just because they love us that much and they support us.
