LSU TIGERS sensation Ben Simmons could be in line for a major Asics 19 pay day, even before he is introduced to the NBA.
Reports indicate Melbourne born Simmons could land a deal from mega giant shoe manufacturer Nike, worth as much as US$100 million (AUD$135 million).
would be the new precedent because LeBron was the last and (Simmons) has the makings in the mind of the NBA that he could be a great, great player. So that basically what they saying, Puma Ferrari he going to get a $100 million deal. I would understand that. signed Michael Jordan to his first sneaker deal at the beginning of his career for a then record $90 million, Vaccaro knows a thing or two about the shoe game. The sneaker guru suggested the teen sensation may find himself the target of a bidding war, as the likes of Under Armour Apollo 2 Clutch Armour and Adidas look to bolster their emerging talent stocks.
would say maybe ($100 million) is not enough because times have changed. We seen $20 million a year contracts now but they been for established players.
Armour is on a roll with Steph Curry and salomon speedcross 3 price they gotta get another young one now and this kid is in a great position. Simmons does live up to expectations and Salomon Snowcross becomes the No.1 pick in the NBA draft, he will also sign a rookie contract with his team possibly the Philadelphia 76ers or Los Angeles Lakers with a figure around the $US5 million (AUD$6.8 million) a season mark quite likely.
The lofty numbers come as Simmons faltering Louisiana State University team appears likely to miss the end of season NCAA Tournament.
Simmons has averaged an astonishing 20 points, Asics Gelnoosa Tri 12 rebounds and Puma Ferrari five assists in his freshman season while the LSU Tigers have had a disappointing 18 12 record.
However, the Tigers could still turn their season around.
They face nationally ranked Kentucky Wildcats in the final game of their regular season on Sunday (AEDT) and then need to string multiple wins together in their South Eastern Conference end of season tournament.
