Nike announced NIL deals with five high school and college basketball players on Monday: Bronny James, Caitlin Clark, Haley Jones, DJ Wagner and Juju Watkins.

Good for Bronny. Now he can afford to eat and go on dates when he gets to school.

You're right. Of course, you could say the exact same about any rich athlete's kid, any rich businessperson's kid, any rich entertainer's kid, any rich doctor's kid, any rich politician's kid, any rich lawyer's kid, etc etc etc.

Could be some of both. Indeed, should be some of both. Nike has a fiduciary duty to its shareholders.

I’m guessing Nike is getting their money’s worth by all the press about Bronny James getting this deal. If he wasn’t on the list, I doubt it gets a mention.

Sounds like a smart move by Nike to include Bronny.

About what?

It being at all about talent, its about name recognition, and likely a favor to Lebron to get his son's foot in the door and gain more exposure.

OK.

I don't know if somebody else said it was "all about talent," but I sure never did.

You said its both.  It isn't.  Bronny isn't good.

Perfect ... a Scoop semantics argument. Maybe we can keep it going for 3 pages. That'll entertain everybody.

What I said was:

Could be some of both -- COULD, which means might be or might not be -- and I was talking about all of the athletes named, not just Bronny.

Your opinion is that Bronny sucks and therefore it has zero to do with his basketball ability. You're entitled to that opinion. Please don't make up others' opinions.

Yup, and I'm glad you've taken the time to read what I wrote.  Could be both, I said I doubted that.  It's not because he is good.

It's a widely held opinion, not just mine.

You’re surprised the 17 year old son of Lebron James/Mr. Nike who has almost 7 million instagram followers is receiving an NIL deal?

FYI bronny is a top 50 talent. Will he be as great as his dad, definitely not, but he’s no scrub.

No, I never said I was surprised.  I just said it was based on business decision (quite literally because of his following and his fathers), not his basketball talent.

Reading is fundamental.

You mean Nike offering the kid with 7 million instagram followers with such a recognizable name isn’t totally based on basketball talent?

Uhhhh no duh

Now you're caught up.  I'm saying it's based solely on his marketability, and his basketball talent is not a factor.

Look man, you walked into the middle of a discussion between MU82 and myself.  I'm not sure what sort of strange own you think this is, but the more you drag it out, the weirder it looks.  If you don't read the thread, you don't have the context. 

MU82 said that it could be a combo of Bronny's talent and his marketability, and I said his talent isn't really a factor in his signing with Nike.

Stop the presses - major corporation signs up a marketable young star. No duh.

And of course his athletic ability has something to do with it. If he’s not a big time recruit, he’s not getting this deal. Hard stop.
