MetroPCS, one of the founding sponsors of Barclays Center, has hired Deron Williams to be its national spokesman, the latest endorsement deal for the Nets captain, following those with Red Bull and Bonobos, a mens' clothier.

MetroPCS capitalizes on how D-Will was a member of the 2008 gold medal-winning Olympic team. MetroPCS also has an endorsement deal with USA Basketball.

"I'm excited and honored to join forces with a brand that has grown from its beginning in my hometown of Dallas, into the fifth-largest facilities-based wireless carrier in the United States," said Williams.
