To think that Kobe will be largely forgotten in FIVE YEARS is insane.
I didn't say FORGOTTEN.
Dr. J isn't FORGOTTEN.
But, his "endorsement" will not mean much especially if he's not designing the shoes himself. Like someone else stated, for long retired/dead stars like Kobe, the money will be in the Retros - and they'll always take a backseat to Retro Jordans. No need to sign his wife to a LIFETIME Jordanesque contract for that.

Excuse me. “An afterthought.”
If you had said 25 years, sure. But five?!
You can’t compare Kobe to Dr. J. Once Dr. J stopped playing, he was essentially gone. But YouTube and highlights allow for younger fans to watch Kobe like fans before them never had an opportunity to with stars of yesteryear. Plus the popularity of the game is so much bigger now than it was then.
