Nike - "Kids wanna be KD, not LBJ"

[Dizzle-2k7]

"We dont really have to market for KD.. kids just wanna be him, so its easy. They see the crossovers, jumpers, handles and its easy to love.. Lebron, its a little different. Kids arent in the parks imitating Lebron James, so our strategy is different."

What yall think? I pretty much agree. Amazing how much $$$ both players are worth.

Durant is more fun to watch than LeBron

Translation: "it's easier to market hero ball".



Maybe they should try to market KD though. Maybe then he wouldn't sell so much less than LeBron.

No, Durant game is more eye pleasing. LJ is more of a bulldoozer. Just like Derrick Rose had so much appeal even though he wasn't even has good has LJ. Durant doesn't play hero ball either

It makes sense I guess. They aren't smart enough to notice the other things like defending the best player on the other team, rebounding, being your team's defensive anchor, assists, being your team's primary playmaker, how efficient you are etc etc. They just see points and how it looks when those points are being scored. They don't understand what making the correct basketball play is.

Oh shit I thought this was about Kobe fans.

Wrong no one finds Lebrun's game aesthetically pleasing. Doesnt take away anything from his ability on the court hes amazing. But this does make sense.

Durant said a little kid came up to him the other day and said 'I'm the reason why he plays basketball.' It resonated deeply with him

We just need to confiscate some tapes here and there. Kids arent in the parks imitating Lebron James, so our strategy is different."
