What is he doing signing with Nike when he should be working on his jumpshot. |
His agent does the PR stuff, that's why he gets paid.
Nike knows this kids going to be really good in a few years and gets
him on board early on...

in this case, i think the Lakers brand actually has a lot to do with him getting a deal with Nike. i am not sure Nike will sign him so early if he was selected by the 76ers. |

I can't say what Okafor is up to but I have no doubt he'll get his. Players have agents for a reason...

Good.
All the injury prone players and/or busts sign with Adidas.
Tracy McGrady, Gilbert Arenas, Derrick Rose, Danilo Gallonari, Robert Griffin III, Eric Gordon, Iman Shumpert.
Probably a lot more I haven't mentioned, just those names on the top of my head. Good safe choice with Nike Russell. Now I won't ever be afraid of you ever becoming injury prone yourself.
And someone also mentioned Exum with Adidas...that would explain a lot about his bust status.

I wouldn't call Exum a bust quite yet.
And remember kobe signed with adidas initially.

Good thing he got out of that brand before a career ending injury happened to him in his prime.

| Nike is killing the league by giving players huge sums of cash before they even play a game. Jordan had to prove himself on the court before he was given his shoe deal and despite being so great was relatively humble. Lebrun was given $100 million before he stepped on the court and look at what an unbearable person he is! |

What the hell? Is this kindergarten here? He'll be alright with his jumpshot and you bandwagon jumper will chear in his swingman jersey purple and gold with the number 1 on it.
Take a break on that young fella. All that just because he didn't dominate in SUMMER LEAGUE? How did Kobe do in Summer League? How did Jordan do in Summer League? How did Shaq do in Summer League?
This get-a-feel games don't mean (bleep) or do you see banners of summer league titles up in the rafters at Staples?

i honestly dont know what your are talking about here. lebron is a good guy and very likable person. as lakers fans, i dont see why we have to think that he is the "bad" guy. he handled "the decision" very poorly as a young man, but has matured in the next few years and is now the face of basketball. he's the best player in the world, a good teammate, and appears to be a good man outside of the court as well.
people who sees lebron as a zero sum game where lebron has to lose in order for kobe to "win" is just immature. both are great players and will be considered one of the greatest ever to play the game. but no question: lebron is more likeable and has better public perception. we are beginning to see the type of man he always was. kobe was never that type of guy: teammates always had issues with him, coaches had issues with him, had the sex scandal, didn't want to take a paycut to help the team etc. (i dont blame him). but people need to stop thinking lebron is a "Bad guy" just bc they support kobe/lakers. lebron is good for bball and is a great role model for people in cleveland and all over the world

Kobe was signed by ex-Nike guy who signed Jordan for Nike though. |

If you follow me closely it was purely sarcasm. I'm an ardent supporter of Russell. He has all the tools to become an elite PG in the league. Yes, even his athleticism will develop with time. |

Exum a bust? Again, 19 year olds do not generally light up the stat sheet. The kid held his own on defense and was not any worse than Burke who was a 4year college player.
Exum could easily take big steps over the next couple years. Dont be so quick to call players bust. It takes time to find yourself in the league. |
