Not Sure if ya knew this

IP: 4287 3F49

I was talking to my homeboy he is an intern for Nike Marketing and he told me that Lebron James' shoes are slumping major in sales, he also told me how shoe companies look at potential people to make shoes for and it was interesting that one of the most important factors is their last name. The top shoe sellers all have last names that are marketable. Iversons,Mcgradys,Garnetts and of course Jordans. He told me that Nike was worried about Lebron because of his last name being "James" and that "Jameses" doesn't sound right coming from the mouth of potential shoe buyers. Oh and Centers besides Garnett will probably never have a shoe contract because big men don't sell shoes because of the small population of tall people in the world.

Why not "Kings" ? or "Lebrons" ?

I think the his sales are down because alot of the hype around him is gone. Yes, he is still an extremely good player for his age, but he is no longer winning every game he plays, so part of his mystique is gone.
