FACT: Something I strenuously avoid when making topics.

[unbreakable]

Jordan basically told Wade he wasnt popular enough and he jumped ship to China.

Take notes, kids. If you wanna make $$, dont flop, whine, or act like a self entitled diva. :no:

He is getting the same money per year with Li-Ning then he did with Jordan. He is also getting 5% stake in the company which could make him the richest athlete ever.

Fixed that for you.

#1 In votes for the EC backcourt ASG. Most of which probably came from America, so I am pretty sure hes popular & liked. The Chinese company probably offered more money in the long run off royalties etc. than Converse/Jordan did.

Lol. That by default. Hell Ray Allen is fifth for backcourt in the EC. If Rose and Rondo and Williams werent hurt or battling injuries all season, hed be a reserve at best.

No he would be still in the starters. He has been playing well.

[SilkkTheShocker]

He left Jordan because he got tired of wearing his crap shoes. Jordan shoes have been getting cheaper and cheaper made the last few years. Even the retro ones are being made like shit these days. At least with his China shoe, he can make more money and not have to worry about his ankle going out.

[Black and White]

:no: More money

[NumberSix]

Which is weird because the biggest size they make is 8.5

:biggums:

He has been by far the best guard SG in the league this year. You can talk harden all you want, Wade is shooting damn near 10% better from the field. If you replace Wade and Harden the Rockets go straight to the finals. **** outta here *****

[buddha]

i'd leave jordan for these shoes

[Derka]

KG and Rondo are both ANTA sponsored. KG has been since 2010.

Also, fun story: Jordan's shoes are made in China.

So...yeah.

[3LiftHeatCurse]

Wade going for the top dollar $$$ with the 5% stake in the company, which means he has potential to be much richer than anyone else currently in the NBA.


This is all just Wade setting up so he can take a smaller contract from Miami to keep the Big 3 together.

[Solefade]

:lol


Those Li-Ning shoes are pretty high quality though, they're just heavy as shit.

[KyrieTheFuture]

I don't think you understand how business works. Wade will become the richest athlete in basketball history with that 5% stake.

[HylianNightmare]

they just threw mad cash at him

[imnew09]

Li Ning is the most famous sport brand in china. OP :facepalm

[MavsSuperFan]

:lol would would be stupid not to take 5% of a major corporation.

[PJR]

The OP is a special kind of retard.

[PJR]

Lol. That by default. Hell Ray Allen is fifth for backcourt in the EC. If Rose and Rondo and Williams werent hurt or battling injuries all season, hed be a reserve at best.

Remember when you said Wade wouldn't be an all star starter or an all NBA selection this year?

Ya, you were wrong. Like you're always wrong. :oldlol:

[DuMa]

The sneaker market could always use more competition. as much as i love jordans and nike. they shouldnt monopolize the market. its just not good for the consumers.

Props to Wade being different and not joining one of the bigger shoe companies

[Dresta]

Lol. That by default. Hell Ray Allen is fifth for backcourt in the EC. If Rose and Rondo and Williams werent hurt or battling injuries all season, hed be a reserve at best.
:lol

this guy...

[red1]

:lol

this guy...
he caught feelings from the pippen thread :oldlol:

[FreezingTsmoove]

Theres so much more to the world than the U.S. fantastic move by Wade and wih the 5 percent hed be dumb to say no. Leave nike jordan and adidas to the young superstars. Wade is a popular player so his shoes will sell.

[Horde of Temujin]

D-Whistle is a bad human being

[Droid101]

#1 In votes for the EC backcourt ASG.
Seen his healthy competition? :roll:

[HylianNightmare]

and on the real if he can help chinese brands get into the shoe game it's gonna be good, love the classic companies but it's nice to see newer companies getting into the game and getting bigger guys too

[#number6ix#]

China market>u.s.

i recently bough the taxi 12 and the 3lab5. Taxi 12's are really conformable compared to last retros but the 3lab5 have the best quality i had in a sneaker in a while :applause:

[NumberSix]

China market>u.s.
Do you actually believe that?

[#number6ix#]

Do you actually believe that?
I'm talking in terms of size not money... I know a huge portion of the Chinese population lives in absolute poverty

The figures for China's economy is so artificially inflated.

The United States market is by leaps greater than China



At no point in your life will the Chinese economy equal even half of the American economy.

Ya, you were wrong. Like you're always wrong. :oldlol:
Lol yeah I was wrong. But still as I said by default. If Rose, Rondo, and Williams were healthy, he wouldn't sniff that starter spot and probably not the all-star game.

[NumberSix]

Lol yeah I was wrong. But still as I said by default. If Rose, Rondo, and Williams were healthy, he wouldn't sniff that starter spot and probably not the all-star game.
Wade is clearly better than all 3 of them.

[PJR]

By default? You're still wrong. Just take the L.

:facepalm

oh yeah, which country has been buying products from who with artificially created money again? I'm sure the US's tactic of print and consume is far more sustainable than to make and sell :rolleyes: .

[Lebron23]

Li Ning is the Nike of China . And Both Kevin Love and Tony Parker signed a contract with a Chinese shoe company.

[aj1987]

Lol yeah I was wrong. But still as I said by default. If Rose, Rondo, and Williams were healthy, he wouldn't sniff that starter spot and probably not the all-star game.
Are you stupid? Williams and Rondo? No wonder people think you're a joke.


Wade >>>>> Pippen, btw.

Fly Wade and Fly Wade 2 were good shoes. I agree with the most of Jordan retros being made like shit, but there signature and top performance shoes are as good as anything. Even though, the Li Ning Way of Wade 1 were really good, while the Way of Wade 2 have lousy traction.
