well, Derrick Rose's high school team (Simeon) and aau team (Meanstreets) were both sponsored by Nike when he played for them. i hope he signs with Nike,that would be a good pickup.

There is only a SLIM to none chance Adidas will sign him to anything. They can't afford to sign players who don't have a High Profile coming out of College with the ability to sell shoes. Adidas outfitted Tennessee, but Candace Parker will be coming to the Swoosh. Complete with an ability to attract females in and out of her sport.
Derrick Rose is also connected to World Wide Wes. If you don't know him, Google him, and it will all make sense. Nike will most likely sign him to a Product only Contract, as Nike already deemed this years Draft Class nothing to sneeze at even with Beasley coming out. None will be pitched to get signature shoes, other than Candace. She's the Highest Profile person coming out of College this year in Nike's eyes.

What kind of logic is this? Receiving huge shoe contracts before playing the first game started with Lebron five years ago. He didn't earn his in the league before he signed did he? Not to say anyone in this draft will get a sig shoe their first year, but this is old news man. Derrick Rose has great potential, but he still has a lot of growing to do as a player-he needs to figure out when to pass and when to use his explosive scoring abilities.

That's exactly my point. This kid getting a possible contract for a shoe before he steps for on a NBA court is ridiculous to me and un-earned. I still believe Lebron didn't deserve his Nike endorsement, unfortunately that just set precedent for these kids who are coming out of college and getting and almost expecting some kind of endorsement before proving themselves on the court.
