Newswire The former University of Texas star averaged nearly 10 points per game with the Lakers last year and is a key component in their drive to win back the NBA title this season. Prior to joining the Lakers, Mihm played four seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers and did a stint with the Celtics. "The Lakers are the most visible basketball team in the country and we are excited to partner with such a stand-out player and individual as Chris," says Killick Datta, CEO of GBMI, the majority owner of PONY International. "His close proximity to our global operations makes him valuable in getting feedback on our basketball product and his on-court presence helps the visibility of PONY." "The PONY sports family is unique and I'm looking forward to being part of the brand rebirth from the ground up," says Mihm. "It's exciting to be wearing the Chevron logo that was so iconic back in the day when I was just starting the game." Source
LoL, this is like the rick fox and skecher deal. Mihm doesnt deserve to be endorsed, neither did Fox. They just got the deal because their from LA.

I remember they kept showing the same Ford commercial over and over when they did re-broadcasts of the game. Another Laker with a shoe deal is Luke Walton and LA Gear. Remember the LA Gear catapults?
Didnt Enrique Iglesias get sponsered by Pony too. Ive never seen the shoes. Theyre not popular and endorsing Mihm wont help much either. LoL, I remember that Luke Walton ad too. Who's next for the Lakers? Bynum?

Pony, man I used to rock those back in like gr.2 when I used to shop for anything and everything at walmart. I miss my pony's, I honestly loved the shoe hopefully there comeback is a good one. Mihm doesnt seem to be the most marketable guy but he's in LA so it should work out.
