"Steph-on" Curry

Can you imagine how much bigger a shoe company Nike would be if they would've signed Stephen Curry instead of letting him sign with Under Armour?  Well Stephen Curry signed with Under Armour and is making a lot of money for himself and Under Armour.  Under Armour is the first three months after giving Curry a signature shoe made $154 million dollars.  So how did Nike really end up loosing Curry?  Well Nike should've doubled checked on how to pronounce Curry's first name, because they pronounced it Steph-on in stead of Steph-en.  Curry was used to that happen, so this didn't bug him to much, but what put the cherry on the sundae was when Nike accidently left Kevin Durant's name on a slide show that supposed to be for Curry.  So now for Nike all the can do is watch Curry dominate the shoe game and wonder what could've been.

  1. Curry with Nike would have been absolutely amazing, but Nike dropped the ball on this one. They should have been way more prepared when they tried to pitch him a shoe deal.

    1. I agree Nike could've been dominating the other brands, instead they just fumbled this one around
