Good to see the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Stay classy, MJ.

One previous employer considered chaps de rigeur.

You know Slave had asked to keep the "chaps incidents" confidential. Uncool.

The coaching staff that recruited him promised that it wouldn't be a problem. So one more example of shitty college recruiters promising things they can't really deliver.

Why is Marcus even making it an issue?
And why doesn't Mike just cut the school a check for $6m to buy out the rest of the adidas contract?

I'm bored by the interwebs. I think I'm ready to walk and interview now.

Strange, I said the same thing myself. Somehow I think we mean different things by the word "walk" though. |

He's on scholarship at UCF, which is not known for hoops. Having his son where them would be proof-positive that is does not "gotta be the shoes."

At lest Mike gets paid to wear the Nikes. The kid just sounds like a spoiled brat (hi e/o!)

how can it be worth millions to Adidas to have UCF wear its stuff?

1. Because he's his father's son?
2. *That* is an excellent question.

Another excellent question; the contract does cover all of the UCF teams, so it's not just for the basketball team.
One of the women's tennnis players in my college class had a Nike contract while the rest of the tennis program had an adidas contract; they somehow worked that out so she could wear Nike shoes, but that was a while ago.
