Please do it, that man deserves a shoe. And adidas doesn't have anyone as marketable as him

That's because they're all injured from wearing adidas

200mil to shatter his knees? Sounds like a good offer.

They have a huge basketball roster with lilliard and wall having their own sigs and sponsor tons of teams both in AAU, college high school and internationally. I'm sure drose and Howard's injuries were not just caused by some shoes. But plenty of people agree with you no doubt. I've played in tons of adidas over the years and never had a problem

Nike is way better and more comfortable to wear. Even their cheap shoes are pretty durable.

Not a sneakerhead....so why is Nike better when they're both made in China on cheap laborers?

It's probably more of a *curse thing* like the Madden cover curse than the quality. *With a little bit of laziness and retardedness. Howard lazy, Rose retarded.

A lot of things are made in China on cheap labor. Both premium and cheap products.

This must be a joke. Nike makes the crappiest shoes ever unless they are over 80$

My Nike Air Quick Handle is pretty durable. I went to the mall yesterday, and the Derrick Rose shoes looks like it doesn't provide any ankle support. And it also looks lighter.

I'm actually in the market for new shoes or sneaks....

What ya'll think of ASICS? Or New Balance? Theyre popular with the white folks I work with.

200m for 13 years?

That is about 15m a year.

And then lets say he makes 25m on average in the next 13 years with the new salary cap.

That is about 40m a year for the next 13 years.

God, why did you not make me a basketball player?

I love that people forget that Tim Duncan and Dikembe Mutombo are sponsored by Adidas.

Two players with long careers in the NBA.

Unbelievable money for Agent Zero 2.0.
Amazing the money guys are getting these day. I was talking to a old timer from the northeast who used to promote events and he said in the 60's you could have the Bill Russell Celtics play a home game at your venue for $10,000 a game.

I don't see Harden as very marketable. Only commercial I remember seeing him in was a Taco Bell commercial, and it was cringe worthy.

and those cringe Nike commercials he made with Bosh I believe

but his real market ability is on the court. A 6'5 Allen Iverson
