Nobody had a clue Cam would be this good, not even his homers. And who says MJ didn't make both Cam and Kemba an offer to sign with UA? For all we know, UA just gave them both a better deal.Quote:

I am just trying to figure out what Kemba signing with UA has to do with Jordan being a dumbass. People are so quick to call people names these days (especially Jordan) so it just bothers me when people bitch about him (and others) without thinking about what they are saying first. If you want to bitch about Jordan, go ahead, there are plenty of things you can call him out for but this isn't one of them and, as far as I am concerned, he hasn't made a mistake in a while now.
I just don't get the reasoning. Cam maybe I can see since JB isn't huge in football but Kemba is the epitome of Jordan Brand, he's a winner, he's marketable, he's good. It's just odd to me that Jordan views Kemba to be a good enough investment for our team but not a good enough investment for his brand. Maybe dumbass was a little harsh but how cool would it be to see an MJ Cam Kemba commercial and billboards in Charlotte :)
A couple of things...
UA is a very small company when you compare it to the big boys and they don't produce shoes (I think). Isn't it entirely possible that they could still sign with team Jordan? I'm not sure of the contract but in general UA doesn't have the cash to be "out-bidding" people like Nike so I doubt Kemba and Cam would enter into agreements that handcuffed them for future endorsements.
Mark my words. You WILL see Kemba and Cam marketing all around the city very soon. By this time next year, I expect that to be common place.
UA may be small but it is the fastest growing company by far. It may actually benefit them to be rising stars signed to a THE rising brand. Also, UA is getting into shoes hardcore and do make shoes for multiple sports. FYI I'm ironically in a UA outlet as I type thisQuote:

Under Armour has been killing it. Good commercials, good signings. Took football by storm, maybe they will do the same with basketball? Nike dominates, but Rose and Howard are both Adidas, so they have kind of been whiffing on signings lately.
Love seeing Cam going out to the games, hope he keeps coming. Any excitement and promotion is good for both teams.
