@GwillMac6 knows I’m a Bird guy (and Celtics/all things Boston loyalist)and I always tease him about MJ being the best ever (and he is) because he’s an LBJ disciple.  I was responding to his straight up “nope”.

I was just making an old man guess as to what it meant.  I am sure that is not it.  I have no real idea of what it meant

damn...how long is our Under Armour contract through? We don't need to move but let's be honest these kids would 10/10 times rather be wearing another shoe out there.

I remember the shoe issue brought up so much before we went and hired Barbee and everyone thought we would get out from under UA, bc of the issues in basketball recruiting and AAU.

Looks like it still can be a problem PEarl has to fight with, but it takes a basketball warrior to win those battles...and Pearl does.

p.s. that was eye-opening that Cooper almost adjusted his signing period bc he wanted to be a McDonald all-american and to sign w/ a UA school might cost him that chance.

Something ain't right....

I wish we could somehow work out a seperate contract for basketball with Nike. I love being UA for football because that is the it brand in football for the younger generation and we are one of the top UA schools for football.

Being one of the top basketball schools for UA doesn't mean jack ish with the long history of shoe politics at the AAU and college level. Bruce was a Adidas man at Rocky top and even that was a huge step up from under armour.

If UA can start signing big names their stock would improve in basketball.  They need to avoid embarrassing situations like how they lost Steph Curry's signature because they bungled his name in the presentation.

I believe it was Nike who bungled their pitch to Steph. Pretty sure they had left Kevin Durant's name on their powerpoint LOL talk about blowing it. Steph is an UA athlete.

 

I SAY SCREW IT LETS BE THE FIRST PUMA SCHOOL. Some orange and blue colorways of the Puma Clyde Court shoes could look pretty cool actually lol

 

But I am joking. Nike is probably the most popular among kids, even though Under Armour and Puma are both starting to sign some notable hoopers to their companies.

Under Armour is horrible

Here are all the basketball players UA has signed. Only 2 star players in curry and embiid. And is curry still the only one of them with a signature shoe? I am genuinely asking. I have no idea if they have a line of Joel embiid shoes out in stores.

Yeah bro! No stars yet but several of those guys can be stars in the near future IMO. Apparently Zion's 2nd choice was Puma. They're starting to make some waves.
