Nike retains Kevin Durant

Dude, you have no clue about sneakers or the culture.

No I consider Nike to do what's best for the company. In an era when they're not just competing with Adidas or Under Armour, but also multiple Chinese companies. Signing a top three player to say you have that player is an investment. That's why they sign college players without playing an NBA player. It's why they furnish college teams with product. Watching an NBA game is one big commercial.

Kobe is a winner, but the rape also hurt him with Nike, because he could never become the face of the franchise. His sneakers have been as polarizing as his career. Nobody is sure how valuable he will be, because of lot of his early kicks were ugly.

Lebron's kicks just became hot since he became a winner. Which is why they haven't retroed any of his kicks. They were already retroing Jordan's before year ten.

KD hasn't won shit. No one has an attachment to KD. His kicks being "popular" has to do with their appearance and their cost compared to the others. Not coincidentally the price of KD's have risen steadily. The time they make an ugly KD, people won't fuck with it.

I'm done... you're talking sports and culture, I'm talking business and economics. If you can't see why Nike would easily make their money back off KD if he is on the same type of career path as Jordan/KD/Lebron...then you're just a fucking lost cause.

And you're having a discussion about business in general and trying to apply in a situation, when you have no clue about the market or the consumer buying the product.

You're betting that Nike is throwing away money on purpose, I'm sure their shareholders would love listening to your ridiculous logic :smh:

Jordan would never play for Detroit

Kobe would never play for Sacramento or Phoenix

But KD should get a pass for joining a 73-9 loaded team...?


If anything that makes him even more Bitchmade

A champion that teamed up with the same folks that beat his ass the previous season. Basketball is a competition, and as a competitor, KD is weak hearted.

Not sure where you've been all years but many former NBA greats don't respect the move and how he got the championship. I know you'll say that doesn't matter either.

In the end it doesn't, but the feeling is still there.

He was competitive and going at people. Spent the entire finals giving LeBron that good work :giggle:

It's easy to look good when join the "Western Conference All-Stars" :giggle::grin::blush:

Breh u talking Kobe, MJ two of the most competitive brehs ever in sports. I remember Kobe tore his acl went to the free throw stripe made his bucks and went to the locker room.

Its a different time not only in basketball, but baseball, hockey, soccer, tennis kids come up in aau and other leagues against each other. Everyone in sports are friends now.

Breh why not? As a basketball purist I overstand ya point but i say hey if it wasn't that extra push by KD the warriors would have won but it would have taken longer. Am i double talking yes but Ive adjusted with the era.
