Nike = cheap Chinese shit
- Thread starter Raoul Duke MU
- Start date
Boy glad he didn't tear his acl. Raoul Zion is a beast but the 18yr old rookie for the Dallas Mavericks is the best young player in the NBA. HE is from Germany
While ignoriing the stale anti-Trump, anti-American bullshit posters, I do have to wonder if Zion might just say fvck it, and not chance a major injury moving forward, like so many college football players have begun doing in recent years.
Nike’s have been shit for a long time. I also wonder how many times he stepped on the tack pad prior to the game
I definitely don't wear Nike shoes, or any other type athletic shoe. I'm limited to a brown pair of slip on loafers, a black pair of loafers, various flip flops/sandals, north face boots, house slippers, a pair of footjoys, and yard/water shoes from Sam's.
Doncic is awesome (he just turned 19) but best young player in the NBA really depends on what you consider young.
If 24 is still young then Giannis wins in a landslide.
All the leading companies make a good shoe, but even Michelin sometimes has a bad tire. Sh*t happens from time to time. I may be wrong, but I think Addidas might have a couple of the highest rated hoops shoes. The Jordan brand has one right up there with them, and that's the shoe you probably see Nike branded teams wear most often.
If this is directed at me, I am not a fan of CHEAP CHINESE SHIT. I'll buy it if I have to, and sometimes we are simply forced to by our Globalists Overlords.
But I can see sports stars start to demand their shoes are made with a little more care than what is given by a ten year old working in a shoe factory for a bowl of rice a day. Baseball players are very picky about their bats, why not be very picky about shoe quality?
Yeah, we wouldn't want them running out of the kind with the 3 big Velcro straps that you like to wear.
They do compliment your old guy had fairly well.
It was a bazaar scene last night. Out of all the games at CIS I’ve been lucky to attend I’ve never seen and heard the air come out of a building like that.
Credit to the cheats as they took full advantage of Zion’s absence, they played a complete game.
I say you may well be correct. From what I know Zion wouldn’t pack it in but he has a lot of voices, family and others, in his ear.
Dook has 4 other McDonalds all americans and 2 other potential lottery picks. This one falls on Ratface
I believe his insurance policy has a 8 mil. payout if he is not drafted in the top 16.
The insurance policy he (or his handlers) personally pay premiums on?

It's not all the NCAA though...it's the NBA using the NCAA as a "screening tool" for free. Williamson is wasting a year of salary by having to play college. He's a starter on every NBA team right now, no need to play college.
Way less than the millions he generates or leaves on the table by not being able to sign a shoe deal now.
He doesn't need a college education, he needs to go make F-you money posterizing people right now. He's never going to get a college degree and he doesn't need one.
"plush room and board." He could be living in a penthouse right now on an NBA contract or a shoe deal.

We're not talking about a track and field kid that pays for his Duke education on scholarship. That is definitely a great deal. We're talking about an elite athlete that can't sell his autograph, sign a shoe deal, or play in the league he belongs in because of the rules right now.
He's missing out on a year of NBA salary now. Put compound interest on that money over 20 years and it's a huge(r) sum of money.
Yes, the player, or family, arranges the policy. I’m sure the school assists with the process.
I agree. Reality D1 football and basketball are just minor leagues for the NFL and NBA.
The Onion: Nike Fires 8-Year-Old Shoemaker Responsible For Zion Williamson Injury
I thought guys could go to the D league for a year and a 100k salary or something like that?) hasn't that started yet ?
Good lord it’s a mild grade 1 knee sprain. Most people with a grade 1 sprain are 100 percent back to normal in a couple days. He’ll be fine by Saturday.
