Coach Thompson advice to AI on signing with Reebok or Nike

[Ironman]

More athletes need to structure their deals like this.

Put something on the backend so you don’t have to worry about going broke/having your accountant steal it.

Also spending way better and more frugal

If he signed with Nike he’d probably still be the 3rd most popular athlete on the roster after MJ and Bron. Would’ve made that money back tenfold.

They would have pulled a Kyrie on him around '02

Reebok has to pay him $75 million when he turns 55

Will rebook exist though?

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Deal was signed before the news came out. The trial didn't happen till later

Point is the money he got from Reebok was a better deal.

I got to look that up.

I got to look that up.

Go ahead.

Already did.

When he says, "Get the fukk outta my face with that stupid shyt.", it reminds me of the Eddie Murphy standup when he was talking about the Italians and Rocky.

Would Nike have went all in on this marketing style back then

So AI was the first King
