That seems like a really dumb decision on Nike's part. ehhh kind of. based on sales, cultural impact, brand loyalty Kobe was no where close to deserving the life time deal that Jordan and Lebron got, the only person who might get it is KD. considering everythings that happened and how no one knows how to project Kobe sales for the future. In my opinion it was worth taking a flyer on, if just for the good press/good will. --- we rich now but used to be slaves,we pushing whips now we used to be whipped,rockin chains when we used to be in 'em <cite>gamepimp12 posted [p:953022801] in Nike didn'...
