So John Wall, the undisputed number one pick in the upcoming 2010 NBA Draft, has made one of the many important decisions that will shape his career. As a pro athlete in the NBA, endorsements are big and one of the most important is the choice of shoe company. There's Nike, Adidas, Converse, Reebok etcetera. So who did John Wall sign with last week??? *Drum Roll*
=====> REEBOK!
Really??? I think I understand the fact that he wants to blaze his own path or whatnot, but Reebok has got to be one of the worst makers of basketball shoes (in my opinion). Nike is by far superior with its ever-growing technological advancements in terms of weight, and materials. Wall was given offers by Reebok, Nike and Under Armor. Most people are speculating there was a big issue, which forced him to pass up on Nike. Maybe John Wall is hoping that he can bring the brand back from the dumps, but I would guess that his first couple shoes will be crap for the most part. They may look fresh, but I doubt the way they are built will compete in any way to Nike kicks.
What's your take on this deal??
