This is a good read for those who don't realize just how much influence shoe companies have on the recruitment of top basketball players.

Funny this is never brought up when Nike players pick Nike schools.

No, we need to go with British Knights (with the little lights on the soles that flash every time you step).

The difference between this one and others is that Addidas has a personal relationship with people close to this kid including his family. Not the same as a kid picking a Nike school because that's who his AAU team is tied to. It works both ways obviously in regards to the shoe affiliations with AAU schools but Muhammed's case is different from 99% of cases because his father has a personal stake in Addidas or the other way around. This is all the NCAA's doing when they allowed schools and in particular coaches to make side deals with the shoe companies. Stupid, stupid move if you believe that the NCAA is truly about the student athlete. I don't. The NCAA is about how much money the athlete can bring in. The student part is the cover.
