Lebron James Agrees to Wear Two Different Shoes Every Game

Miami Heat forward Lebron James has made an agreement with two competing shoe brands that will require him to wear two different shoes every game this season. “God gave me two feet for a reason, and I think it’s because he wants me to make twice as much money on endorsements” said James.

Lebron will wear his signature Nike Ambassador shoe on his right foot, and the new Adidas Bigshot on his left. He has also been told to face each end of the court for an equal amount of time per game, in order to give each brand the same amount of television coverage. This part of the agreement came after James was accused of giving Nike the majority of the exposure during the first game of the deal. “I faced the left side of the broadcast too often, and Adidas told me to not play defence the next game to make it up to them.”

While the agreement was controversial among other NBA players, marketing executives are jumping on the opportunity to share superstars in major sports leagues: “We’re working on a deal to have Lebron drink a mixture of Vitamin Water and Sprite at all public appearances” said James’ manager. “We also want him to wear two different brands of underwear every game.”
