Matthew Dellavedova of the Milwaukee Bucks has come a long way from being a teenager dreaming to become an NBA player to helping the Cleveland Cavaliers win its first title in franchise history. Now, he has his own shoe deal with PEAK and there is no better way to advertise his shoe other than to showcase his humble beginnings in a commercial.
The 26-year-old combo guard signed a three-year shoe deal with PEAK in the offseason and his first signature shoe, which is called the Delly1, was released in Australia last June, as reported by CBS Sports. Months after, a commercial narrating his journey from Australia to the world's premier basketball league is made.
In the commercial, Dellavedova starts by sharing that when he was a kid, he gets up early to train in an attempt to represent his home country, Australia, in the Olympics and one day become an NBA player.
While unveiling the Delly1, which has a colorway like Australia's national colors of gold and green and another colorway of white and green, he narrates his NBA journey of going undrafted in the 2013 NBA Draft, a monumental experience in his life which pushed him to become better and be that one guy that gives his all even during loose balls and dives.
According to CBS Sports, Dellavedova's signature shoe will only be available in the Australian market as PEAK approached the St. Mary's College of California alum two years ago introduce a basketball shoe into Australians.
After winning a title with the Cavaliers, Dellavedova received a big payday when he agreed to a 4-year, $38 million contract with the Bucks in the offseason. With Milwaukee, he is averaging career-bests 8.0 points, 5.7 assists and 2.5 rebounds in 28.2 minutes of play. He had his best game as a Buck last Dec. 3 when he registered 18 points and six assists in their 112-103 win against the Brooklyn Nets.
