Jabari Parker, Blake Griffin, Chris Paul & Michael Jordan: The Air Jordan Brand Is Stronger Than Ever, But Will It Win NBA 'Rookie Of The Year' Award?

Jabari Parker has started well in his NBA career, with many expecting him to have a breakout debut season. Will the Air Jordan prodigy be good enough to help represent Michael Jordan, winning the Rookie of the Year award? Team Jordan already has Blake Griffin and Chris Paul on its roster, and they recently added Milwaukee Bucks player Jabari, but the attention is already turning to a "what can he bring to the team?" attitude, and well, what can he bring? We'll soon find out.

Jabari signed for Air Jordan in June, and the brand's president Larry Miller, said, "Jabari clearly fits what we're looking for, in terms of his character, his family life, his connection to his community. All of those things kind of came together, and Jabari is what we feel is a perfect fit for the Jordan Brand. MJ was really excited about Jabari from the beginning. And he was like, 'That's who we have to go after.' And we all agreed."

If Parker can win the ROTY award, he'd be the first Jordan star to do so, making the brand all the more appealing for next season. He faces stiff competition, but he's by far and wide considered the top candidate to do just that.

With superstars like Paul, Griffin and Jordan backing you up, can you go wrong? Who will win the ROTY award? Parker is focusing on adjusting to the NBA, and on making his Bucks team a far better force, but in the process, he might just make MJ one very happy man.
