    "Lin said he wouldn’t have his own line of shoes in the short term. He will, however, have input on product development and design."

    Nike will pay for this! Shows how God's children are frowned upon!

    Nike decided not to match Adidas' better offer. So it's like Rockets who gave an offer to Lin, which Knicks did not want to match. It's hard to say who dumped whom in this situation.

    Nike didn't want to match Adidas offer, sounds a bit familiar.

    He does not have a link that Nike dumped Jlin. But I guess he can give you a link that Nike did not match the Adidas offer.

    Watching Jeremy's post-practice interview today, I think Adidas made a great sales pitch a la Morey's #Lin2Rockets pitch. He's so gullible ;).

    Dwight goes to Asia often, this is to increase Lin's brand to fellow Asian countries outside of Taiwan. No brainer here for Adidas.
