"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nike has the right to match Under Armour's $265 million offer to Kevin Durant, ESPN's Darren Rovell&amp;nbsp;reports.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Durant, who signed with Nike when he entered the NBA in 2007, reportedly has a 10-year offer from Under Armour worth between $265 million and $285 million, plus equity in the company. Nike is not out of the running, however, because of an agreement from his previous contract.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More: Derrick Rose sitting out could mean trouble&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From Rovell's report:\r\n\r\nNike, which saw its signature business related to the&amp;nbsp;Oklahoma City Thunder&amp;nbsp;forward grow to roughly $175 million at retail last season, will have the right to match, which is a condition of Durant's current contract with the brand. Durant can still choose Nike if it doesn't match but can't legally choose Under Armour if Nike does.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Under Armour is based in Maryland and is looking to make Durant, who is from the state, the face of its brand.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stephen Curry, Brandon Jennings and Kemba Walker are among the current NBA players who are signed with Under Armour.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Durant withdrew from Team USA basketball earlier this month, citing exhaustion.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More:&amp;nbsp;Why James Harden may not be as crazy as he sounds&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Paul Palladino&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
