TMac: Adidas Yao: Reebok (now part of Adidas though, but still a separate brand) Battier: Peak Skip: And1 Chuck Hayes: Li-Ning Any others?
No way dude!!! Juwan already got that one. He needs to save money for some new hot sunglasses since his last attempt to shoplift them failed!
Incidentally Shaq is under contract with Li-Ning as well. Chuck takes out Shaq's knee and Li-Ning realize they need an up-and-comer to promote their shoes instead of Shaq and Damon Jones. The Legend of Chuck Hayes grows!
We need someone with NIKE.. lets hope yao or tmac can convert to nike.. Hopefully Yao because reebok sucks more than adidas
And it seems Nike players usually get more star calls than others. There was MJ, and now there is LJ.
I've a question. For players who don't have a shoe contract, do they buy their own shoes or are the shoes supplied by the team? I'd guess the team is responsible for supplying all basketball practice and match related items (shoes, socks, pants, underwears, jerseys, headband, basketballs, towels, nipple patches, teeth protectors) if requested by the players. Of course the player can use his own stuff if he so desires. True or false?
some of the players' feet are too big to find shoes in regular store, so in that case i guess the team help them out
NBA players don't have to pay for shoes. Shoe companies always give away free merchandise to players regardless if they're under contract or not. If those guys wear your shoes, then that's pretty much free advertising
