Bleacher Report is reporting that high school basketball phenom Andrew Wiggins could earn up to $180 million for a sneaker endorsement deal when he goes pro. Multiple shoe companies are reportedly interested in signing the high school star up to 10 years and more than $100 million dollars.

Three sources told Bleacher Report that Adidas has become the front-runner and want to sign Wiggins for an insane amount of money. An industry source told Bleacher Report:

"From what I'm hearing, (Adidas) is really high on him. I've heard a range for sure, from like $140 to $180 million for like 10 years. That's a big deal for a kid coming out of school because most rookie deals are probably like four years."

Another source, close to Wiggins told BR:

"I'm hearing from people at Kansas that he's got a $180 million offer supposedly coming from Adidas. But I also heard that Nike is going to match anything."

Any deal of over $100 million dollars would surpass LeBron James' seven-year contract with Nike that was worth up to $93 million, which was highest rookie endorsement deal ever.

Unlike James though, Wiggins cannot become eligible for the draft until he completes at least one year in college, and he cannot sign a sneaker deal until he declares for the draft.

Wiggins is definitely a phenom, check him out here:
