- Former sports marketing agent Sonny Vaccaro joins the Dan Patrick Show and shares how Adidas messed up the signing of a young LeBron James to a sneaker deal before LeBron went on to sign with Nike
Sonny is a legend! Also said in 2001 that LeBron was best 16 year old he had ever saw and he had seen everyone since Kareem!
I remember that
ADIDAS SUPPOSE TO SAY: Give this Kid whatever he wants!!!!!
Now look at them now 😂
Pretty unreal that Adidas would repeat the same mistake with LeBron that they made with Michael. Or maybe not. Their brand has been slowly sliding down the tubes for years now. Shows what happens when the corporate suits get involved and figure they can "improve" a no-brainer deal.
Adidas owns the soccer market place in Europe that’s why they don’t care about missing out on certain nba players
@@deesee2051 Kanye west saved adidas literally
@@vincentking4486 yeah because they weren’t a multi billion dollar company decades before hiring Kanye 😂😂😂😂🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ you can’t be this stupid
Of course adidas cares. Nike is worth way more than adidas and it’s not close.
@@thomaschapman6088 so you think you can really know how much either company is worth yeah ok 😂😂😂 sure
How does one shoe company lose 3 🐐 of Jordan, Kobe and LeBron....
Adidas has always prioritized football ⚽️
@@dagobert1234321that's not an excuse.. they're meeting with these players
The real three stripes lmao
@@dagobert1234321 So they prioritized making less money than Nike? Because you can focus on both sports.
@@dagobert1234321 even in football Nike's bigger now, they have Haaland, Mbappe and all the future superstars. Adidas had Messi hanging by a thread. Adidas doesn't understand people the way Nike does
Imagine Lebron x Yeezy. OMG. Resellers' Wet Dreams. 😂😂😂
Adidas is just not right while picking athletes in usa ... Nike is best in usa whereas outside usa Adidas has one of the best athletes signed around the world ...but man Nike Jordans are still the most iconic sneaker series ever ..even basketball signature shoes of Nike are elite
Nike is worth about 150 billion more than Adidas. And they do that without the biggesr soccer player in the world.
I believe Lebron was Adidas' biggest mistake not MJ. In 84 basketball sneakers were not that hot, MJ made it with Nike and I think it was the perfect marriage. If MJ went to Adidas and Adidas didn't made the same marketing strategies that Nike did then basketball sneakers may not have became popular. But in the 00's, now that basketball sneaker was already a thing, still Adidas messed-up with LBJ.
Dumbest assessment ever
There's a lot of "WHAT IF's" in your baseless story. You probably live life that way.
Proverbs 14:16
A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.
so this is the man who made air jordan a thing
Addidas best basketball shoe to this day is Kobe's crazy 8s
Damn Adidas-Jordan and Bron
Lebron with a adidas wouldn’t have lasted. Nike was the best choice for him and the hype he had coming out of high school.
Sonny V. looks good. He was one of my Dad's best friends..
Shout out to Sonny. He. Legend He’s the reason Nike matched and signed Jordan, he got tmac and Kobe great deals and the reason Nike matched adidas $100 deal
Go visit Germany lol you’ll see why they screwed up on MJ Kobe and bron . Lack of basketball culture . They didn’t even sign DIRK. Think about that
WOW i didn’t even think about the Dirk thing. How tf does that happen
@@eazyscottie exactly . He had a small Nike deal . But all the companies was going after the black guys . They didn’t even try to sign most white dudes
Yes that’s why Adidas is starting camps in Europe now
wowowwowowow great observation
@@eazyscottiethe old guy told you . They historically screwed up . Look at who’s the ceo and who’s over the company. It’s in Germany bro . The sun don’t shine as much . If RUN DMC didn’t promote adidas. The streets wouldn’t be fucking with them . There would be no adidas’s . We would be wearing AVERIEX 😂
Yeah but Kobe left Adidas and went to Nike because he felt that he got a bad deal and had no say so on his vision on the shoes he wanted to represent.
And what does that have to do with anything?
Did you see Kobe’s last adidas shoe? That shit was hideous
@@amancalledhawk5575 yeah that's why he left addidas

The allegations is what happened
I would’ve offered Lebron a percentage of the company it’s self! Even if I had to lay off some people…
adidas must get the nba internationall players like jokic, doncic, giannis, etc. back when they are not with nike, jordan brand.
adidas can dominate the world if they have great consultants. now look at yeezy crumbling. i think they have a curse
To be fair, Adidas tried and had something with DRose until those knees... and Harden, old James back just to flop in Game 7.. So someone at Adidas bet on Rose and Harden, I guess you can't hit them all.
Adidas have made some of the worst sales decisions in history!
SCREWED UP ON MJ THEN LEBRON WHOSE NEXT
kobe too
@@Senseiuchiha00 no
@@Senseiuchiha00 they F&*( up his sig shoe so bad he paid adidas millions to get off his contract. Man Its no wonder no generational talent goes or stays with them except for Tmac.
Haaland
@@yutuberboyi think they had Derrick Rose, no? I know he’s not a generational talent but he’s the exact kind of player that sells shoes
Adidas never learned from their mistakes ..maybe they dont care about Basketball division ..their main focus has always been making Soccer shoes
Adidas could of had their Jordan but messed up smh
Who owns adidas? Where are it’s headquarters? Lol bingo
Bruh we couldve all been lovin Adidas... Mj kobe n bron.... Yeezy wouldve made nike hot 😂
Magic had Adidas that why they went to Nike for Mike.
I'll take ADIDAS they are comfortable than nike shoes I have a big foot and only adidas gives me comfort..
Then they went all in on James Harden 🙄🙄🙄
Great players get injured with adidas. Arenas, Drose, Billups, T-Mac Etc.
Great players got injured in Nikes, Michael Jordan broke his foot in the Air Jordan 1, Penny, Zion, Pippen etc. the difference is that they all recovered at some point & came back except Penny he was never really the same.

They have Lillard.

Hater?? Lebron is a good father, good husband,,,doesn't get in trouble with law, don't gamble, signs autograpfor kids at games... always honors his contract(never demanded trades)... umm. Well,,so what's with hater nation?? See, u can't answer
