Nike - "Kids wanna be KD, not LBJ"

[Dizzle-2k7]

"We dont really have to market for KD.. kids just wanna be him, so its easy. They see the crossovers, jumpers, handles and its easy to love.. Lebron, its a little different. Kids arent in the parks imitating Lebron James, so our strategy is different."

What yall think? I pretty much agree. Amazing how much $$$ both players are worth. :bowdown:

Durant is more fun to watch than LeBron

Maybe they should try to market KD though. Maybe then he wouldn't sell so much less than LeBron.

No, Durant game is more eye pleasing. LJ is more of a bulldoozer. Just like Derrick Rose had so much appeal even though he wasn't even has good has LJ. Durant doesn't play hero ball either

[Mr Exlax]

It makes sense I guess. They aren't smart enough to notice the other things like defending the best player on the other team, rebounding, being your team's defensive anchor, assists, being your team's primary playmaker, how efficient you are etc etc. They just see points and how it looks when those points are being scored. They don't understand what making the correct basketball play is.

Oh shit I thought this was about Kobe fans.

Wrong no one finds Lebrun's game aesthetically pleasing. Doesnt take away anything from his ability on the court hes amazing. But this does make sense.

To be fair, kids also wanted to be like Kobe after Ms. Faber, so their opinion is suspect. KD's "humility" will be a thing of the past soon, especially if he doesn't win the chip and the hate begins.

Disclaimer: KD is the MVP this year easily.

Kids also would rather be Kobe instead of Shaq or Duncan. Can't trust casual fans.

in all seriousness are you trying to argue that scoring can't be the correct basketball play? you seem to just be saying whatever sounds nice without fully grasping that scoring is the most important part of the game. you can lose when you out rebound your opponent, you can lose when you out assist your opponent, you can even lose when by all stastical measures you out played them defensively. but you cannot lose when you outscore them. an assist is just a pass to a player so they can score. why do you play defense? to stop the other team from scoring. why do you rebound? to stop the other team from getting another chance to score. this is elementary stuff that you have hopefully now grasped.

Yes like this post and Mr. Exlax's. To play LeBron's game you need to be able to score like a scoring SF and pass like a PG. Kids just don't have that ability.

This will be Lebron's true legacy when he retires. The sad thing is, he's not even the best flopper in the league so it doesn't make sense why the flop is attributed to him instead of someone like Harden or Blake Griffin for example.

I guess his disgraceful flopping performance vs Indiana in the ECF really caught the publics imagination last year.

This.

This one's a no-brainer. Not only is Durant's game easier to imitate (more crossovers, jumpers vs. more no-look passes, tough layups), but it's more aesthetically pleasing. Be real now, we didn't need Nike to tell us this; I could have called it years ago.

I doubt Nike is dumb enough to indicate something like Durant having better handles than somebody who is a drafted Point-Guard & the best Point-Forward arguably ever whos ballcontrol at that size is only comparable to Magic Johnson...

exactly
kids on park dont look at or try to imitate passing,rebounding,defense,
fundamentals

Its all about Flash,style,jumpers

Its why during the 2000s
people went Kobe or AI at the park not Shaq or Duncan


Its like looking at CP3,Magic,Shaq,Duncan

goat players and hugely popular but their game wasnt popular at the park


For Kids and people that play at park
almost 0 Passing,Literally 0 plays so no playmaking,no
fundamentals,barely any defense if at all

Its the Ai,Kobe game

iso-iso-iso
Jumpers,crossovers

and with the and1 street game getting popular and with
media hyping up hero ball,Clutch situations,Being the man,taking last shot

it correlates to what you see on street

Crossovers,jumper,iso is iso

[moe94]

Did this guy just say Paul isn't flashy or that kids don't try playing like Paul? People think they're Chris Paul out there. They don't even call it Iverson anymore. They call it being CP3 if you got nutty handles. I think Uncle Drew took over now anyway.

Basketball great LeBron James has a history of flopping

Sometimes I dream
That he is me
You've got to know that's how I dream to be
I dream I move
I dream I groove
Like Kev
If I could be like Kev

Nike trying to keep attention away from the large sums of wealth they have accumulated thanks to Lebron James.

LeBron is like the pound sterling. KD is the peso.

[Fudge]

That is why there's a remake of Like Mike, but instead titled Thunderstruck. Almost the same plot. Same shit, different title.

So in response to Nike, YES. Yes they dooooooo. Everybody wants to be like King Kev.

It makes sense I guess. They aren't smart enough to notice the other things like defending the best player on the other team, rebounding, being your team's defensive anchor, assists, being your team's primary playmaker, how efficient you are etc etc. They just see points and how it looks when those points are being scored. They don't understand what making the correct basketball play is.

Oh shit I thought this was about Kobe fans.

LeBron doesn't generally guard the best player on the opposing team, idk about him being a defensive anchor either. He does have the ability to transform all-star caliber players into role player-esque jumpshooters

Chokewin DuChoke dreams of having the amount of knowledgeable basketball fans as Bronny:applause: :applause:

[knicksman]

This one's a no-brainer. Not only is Durant's game easier to imitate (more crossovers, jumpers vs. more no-look passes, tough layups), but it's more aesthetically pleasing. Be real now, we didn't need Nike to tell us this; I could have called it years ago.

LMAO at this idiot. If its so easy LeBron wouldn't be stopped by fatass diaw. It wouldn't take LeBron a lot of years to develop a jumpshot. Theres a reason why Jordan/kobe won 11 rings combined to wilt/Oscar 2 rings because that's how hard it is. In fact it is the hardest.

[Warfan]

So any link or is the OP full of shit? Guessing somebody already called him out for it....
