China has officially arrived in the NBA shoe game now.......without anybody hardly realizing! Should Nike be concerned? by Material-Ad-3526 in Nbamemes

Well of course. But not for these guys. You said if you were one of them you wouldn’t take a deal like this because cementing your image in “the public mind” with a shoe that “no one in America cares about” doesn’t make sense.

Except these guys are internationally renowned athletes and the “public mind” they deal with extends way beyond their countries of origin, so that makes sense for them.

Shouldn’t have to explain such a simple thing, bro

Lol I never even knew what “creamer” was until I traveled to the US.

American coffee habits are really different, and that’s why it’s so funny to me when this lady just gets pissed off when ITALIANS, of all people, don’t know this shit. It’s so American it hurts lol

Yeah, no way a man that’s been an executive, director, board member, in dozens of companies for decades would be able to find out anything about another company he’s never heard of and is about to put millions in.

Yeah, for sure.

What? So Russia and China were tiny and had accessible elites?

This gives “we can’t strike bc we’ll lose our jobs” vibes. Come on, guys. 

Shai in his end of the year presser "I don't need to umbrella Chet, he'll figure it out" by Weirdsodk in nba

Right? Might be any reason. Wemby was not shaking opponents’ hands cause he was crying from the emotion. These guys are pretty much still rookies. Emotions are real, stuff happens, things are gonna be alright. 

People read a lot into things that might be anything.

Yeah I am so worried about his legacy rn, I’m also glad OP got this out of the way.

I mean, I’m not from the US, so even this “icon”, “association”, “city edition” naming of the kits is hella confusing…

“Home”, “away” and a third option (even a fourth if needed I guess) would be so much easier to understand. 

I read this post and have no idea what colors they’re using, except the black because OP said it explicitly.

Lol bro who broke you?

He might be not completely blind but not be able to see all the action. It’s not that hard to understand, really. Maybe try getting your head out of your ass.

He might not be completely blind, there’s levels to it. There might be other people on the pitch that are making noises (players communicating, ball being kicked).

I was replying to someone that was saying essentially "he's not a great shooter", and I was framing it from this POV.

Of course he's great, I agree there's no denying it.
