i think you may know where i'm going with this:
http://www.msnbc.com/news/916736…
so many people needing jobs or a better salary and things like this are happening. and i thought the AIGA salary survey made me cry.

I wonder if they (Nike) take into account the name of the 'star' they're about to sign...
...last thing they'd want is a line of trainers named 'Smith'.

i wonder how many starving people that endorsement would feed.

i heard he signed a 5 yr deal with Upper Deck trading cards too. not sure how much/
jeezus! he hasnt played a single nba game yet.
kobe doesnt even have a shoe deal like that

carmello anthony will own lebroan.
- swollenelbow0
that is horrible...makes me very pissed that i have to work till 2 in the morning and get shit.
damn. if he gets on a team and misses one shot i swear i will hunt him down and figure out where his bank is.

thing is, noone is going to buy any shoes because we are wearing them, but they will if he is. he deserves it if the company is that sure they will recoup their investment.

i hope he blows out a knee in game 1....servers anyone right for such stupid ass deals.
NO ONE needs or deserves 90 million to play sports. NO ONE.
there are teachers, professors, librarians and people in the world more deserving of that money.
the us economic system is the most ignorant thing ever created.
one day, all the workers of the nation should stand up and walk the fuck out of their jobs and see what happens. see what happens when a nation wide strick ensues....no teachers, no garbage control, no repair shops no janitorial services, no coffee shops, no food, no stores, etc....
fuck, nothing pisses me off more stupidity.

word, sparker.
i think a lot of people would not like to read news like this with current economic status quo..
btw: one of the reasons i don't enjoy (most)sports, i could just as well watch corporate meeting videos, it's all about $$$$$ anyway.

sparker, welcome to the real world. ain't fair, is it.
- IRNlun60
the way I see it is he deserves as much as he can get. shit Nike's going to make the money anyway, so might as well give Lebron $90 million. hopefully he'll do something positive with it. that or choke a referee. I'd love to see that after all the crap calls made in these playoffs.

Sorry, I don't see the point to all this whining.
Some company thinks that some guys name/endorsment can make them $x, and they pay said guy $y. So what? What does that have to do with how mch moneyyou made last year or whatever?
I guess if people don't buy the shoes, then athletes won't get big endorsment contracts.. but they do - what's it to ya?

i don't like pro sports because they're all fucking pussies.
college and high school kids bleed on the field, play their hearts out and suffer because they love the game...(well most do) fucking pros whine like children when they get a bruise on their arm...."oh i can't play because my wrist hurts..."
bla bla bla bla...fucking if someone paid me 90 mil to do my job, i wouldn't complain about anything...and i certainly wouldn't puss out if i bumbed my elbow on the court.
i think pros should have to play or take a pay cut every time their out.
people need to just stop buying all the shit. that would solve the problem. most of it is just shit anyway...god, i've never seen uglier shoes than new basketball shoes...they are all crap.

simple reasoning.
yes, ofcourse it is that way!
damn.
but it still does not contradict what i said... sport = business = $$
and I say:
it ain't good for the world.
unfortunatly the world consists of a majority of ignorant consumer whores who don't think about buying less known (but equally good, if not better) shoes.

buy skate shoes. thats all you really can do to assure that a hardcore motherfucker gets paid by your decision.
- BonSeff0
thats all we can afford dob!

It takes a shoe company, an athlete and a business contract for people to notice the insanity of wasting vast sums of money?
That's one tenth of what was spent by the US government only a couple of months ago...dropping bombs in a desert...
...and no one said a thing then.
That's the insane part.
