Paul George was in Beaverton, Oregon Thursday to visit Nike Headquarters. George, who has an endorsement deal with the leader in sporting attire and basketball shoes, made his way throughout the campus – it truly is a campus – alongside his CAA (Creative Artists Agency) agent Aaron Mintz.
George arrived to a warm welcome with banners of his infamous dunk on Birdman, plus his logo, as picture below by Mintz.

A visit to Nike is likely an annual occurrence for George, who typically spends a week of his summer overseas with a handful of other NBA players promoting the brand. In recent years, one of those players was LeBron James. Remember this 360-windmill dunk, his signature finish, in Shanghai two years ago?

George appears in a new Nike Basketball commercial first posted online last week. The ad is for latest pair of Nike Hyperdunk shoes, the type George typically wears on the basketball floor. Watch the 30-second ad below:
