Looks like Nike wins the battle for this one.

Uh, link, reference, anything? Come on, put out at least a *little* effort....

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Taking this a step further, if nobody can come up with a link in the next couple of hours, I will return to close this thread. A quick google search only turned up a one-time only pair of shoes that was put together by Nike back at the beginning of last year, but is apparently no longer sold.

Maybe FCC Chairman Kevin Martin is going to represent the country of Jordan. That would be pretty big news, but probably more appropriate for another forum.

* I'm also supposed to catch up with Kevin Martin soon, as he recently signed a shoe deal with the Jordan shoe brand.

more.....

Get ready Martin you are about to hit REAL stardom. This means he will be featured in Nike commercials that will be played at least across the US to promote the shoes. Kevin Martin is about to become a household name and put Sacramento BACK on the map.

Congrats Kevin.

Huh -- trying to confirm this again, went and checked out the Team Jordan website (apparently some subset of Nike or whatever). Kevin is not listed, bt it could jsut be too new. And I'm thinking they would do well to sign Kevin, because most of their current lineup is trash. Guess the Jordan name does not carry the weight it used to.

The worthy:
Chris Paul

The good:
Ray Allen
Carmelo Anthony
Rip Hamilton
Joe Johnson

The wish we could drop them:
Mike Bibby
Josh Howard

The embarrassments:
Derek Anderson
Michael Finley
Juwann Howard
Jared Jeffries
Eddie Jones
Fred Jones
Quintin Richardson
Bobby Simmons

I just don't get that whole last category. Those guys should not have shoe deals at this point in their career. How many Juwann Howard specials can you possibly sell with his name?

I don't know any details, but Kevin did a photo shoot for NIKE, wearing Air Jordan brand clothes and shoes, back in the summer of 2006.

Well, I hope it's true. I don't know if I want to live in a world where we can't take FakeInjury's word as gospel. First you represent Nike; then you get the khakis.

Obviously you're not a golfer.

I wonder if he'll get his own shoe? That'd be pretty tight. CP3 has his own shoe, as does Melo.

Got those photos somewhere, they were never released. I wonder if they will use those, or shoot new ones?

HITTING THE REWIND BUTTON
The beauty of the blog is that there's always a place for more material, even stuff that it took a few days to get around to putting together.

Exhibit A: Kevin Martin's day with Michael Jordan in Portland.

The Kings shooting guard is the newest addition to MJ's shoe brand. Having just signed his deal to wear the Jordan shoe and be promoted as part of the commercial team, Martin joined an All-Star cast in Portland on Sept. 24 to meet Jordan for the first time and be officially welcomed to the club.

Considering Jordan was Martin's idol growing up, the meeting was a lifelong dream realized for the fifth-year player. He was joined by Atlanta's Joe Johnson, Detroit's Rip Hamilton, New Orleans' Chris Paul, Denver's Carmelo Anthony and former teammate Mike Bibby for dinner and meetings regarding the business.

"It was just a pleasure meeting (Jordan)," Martin said. "Him putting you on his team makes you realize that (success) wasn't given to you. It makes you realize you're here because he wants you to help bring his brand to a higher level."

First impressions of MJ?

"He's a business guy," Martin said. "That's one thing you realize when you first meet him.

"All the stories you heard about how once the games came, he was all basketball. Well when it's business, he's all business. "There was just something about him."

The first MJ meeting was supposed to happen last year, as Kings assistant and former Jordan teammate Randy Brown had planned on arranging an introduction. The plan, which went unfulfilled because the hoops icon/Charlotte general manager was shooting a commercial, was for Jordan to sarcastically insult Martin's game when they first met as an all-in-fun prank. In the end, their meeting still included a touch of humor involving Brown.

"We were joking about Randy," Martin said. "(Jordan) said Randy just wanted (him) on the (Jordan) team because he wants some of the gear."
