    Lebron to Miami.

    LMA to Spurs.

    Durant to GS.

    What do these all have in common? All three are Nike clients.

    Nike doesn't just want athletes wearing their shoes, they want champions. It would be very easy for Nike to add a championship bounty to their contracts. Win a 'ship, get paid double! Is Nike incentivizing athletes to win a championship? Is Nike ruining the NBA?

    And before you dismiss this, let me ask you this, do you really think Nike didn't know Lance Armstrong was using PEDs?

    Yeah Armstrong is going to tell his sponsor, but no one else ........That makes a lot of sense.

    It was rumored and reported for years that Armstrong was on the juice. You don't think Nike sent anyone to look into it? Really?

    Look into how? Test him when all the other drug tests came up clean? Follow him around 24/7? The guy came up clean time after time. The rumors were there but I have friends who raced, and for years he was their idol. They never believed it. Lance did an incredible job of hiding it.
