BREAKING: Under Armour CEO takes shot at KD and Nike.

[Encre92]

With Durant’s previous contract with Nike set to expire, Under Armour made an offer that topped a $200 million proposal from Nike, Plank said in a follow-up interview at Bloomberg’s offices in New York. Nike (NKE) then countered with a $350 million deal, Plank said.

“Do I take pleasure in that they paid $150 million more than they planned on paying?” Plank said. “Absolutely.”

The Oklahoma City Thunder forward and reigning NBA Most Valuable Player re-signed as a Nike endorser with a contract worth $300 million over 10 years, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. Including the retirement package and other elements, the deal could be worth $350 million over 20 years, the person said.

lol essentially saying Durant is overpaid twice the amount he's worth.:roll:

Actually, he didn't say that at all. Your reading comprehension skills be poor.

"they paid $150 million more than they planned on paying"

[tpols]

"they paid $150 million more than they planned on paying"
UA is saying their initial offer was a low ball.

[bagelred]

"they paid $150 million more than they planned on paying"

But they never said KD isn't worth that...just that they forced to make Nike pay more.

[hawke812]

OP do you even comprehend?:facepalm

[Levity]

its a daunting task, but im glad to see that OP's going for the shitty thread gold medal.

[Pointguard]

Nike did UA a big favor. KD isn't the charismatic type to get you into the huge market shares, I think UA is only at 2% of footware apparel. UA's approach now is to get Nike into a few bad investments and then go for the one can actually get the big market share. One of the other big market guys should go make a push at Anthony Davis (nevermind, don't know the details of his Nike contract).

[TonyD]

Another shitty thread saved by commenters roasting the op.

Nike prints money. $350 million aint shit for them, let's be real.

[Eric Cartman]

OP read a book ffs.

[choppermagic]

How is this taking shots at KD or Nike. It's business, his company wants to be a player. In order to compete, Nike had to shell up. UA announces their presence. Not really taking shots...

and yeah, not double.

OP is trolling as usual and reported again for blatant trolling. Changed his initial post hating on KD (as usual). Insecure bran stans with nothing better to do with their time so they would just hate, keyboard warriors. :sleeping OP doesn't know how to read or look at sales facts and just spews bs as usual.Here's what he posted before his edit, everyone should hit the report button to clear the cancer from this forum.

All OP thinks about is getting f*cked raw in the ass by Dragic, so he has no time to do anything else including reading books.
