Exactly. Nike would have a fit if Kobe ended up in Milwaukee. |
The Nike billboards are in cities where he doesn't play. That would be the case no matter where he played.
Lebron is one of the most recognizable players in the US. He's featured in nationwide ad campaigns, he's on billboards all over the place and his team has as many nationally televised games as the Lakers.
Where does he play again? Oh yeah. CLEVELAND.
Nike somehow managed to make due with that. And no, there is no clause in his contract that doubles his money if he plays in NY or LA or Chicago or Paris or London or in Rio. |
So let me get this straight...YOU believe that Nike would rather have Bron in CLEVELAND rather than in LOS ANGELES, CHICAGO OR NY, correct?
Let me rephrase that question: Do you think Nike would want Bron in Cleveland or L.A./NY/Chi?
