Caitlin Clark is easily a 100 million dollar athlete. I couldn’t agree more. I hope she has a renegotiation clause in her Nike contract. She can’t play too humble forever. They will rob her dry
If she has a good contract, she will be paid a % of the revenue generated by her products. Such royalties could easily lead to that level of income for her.
They need to have this shoe ready for the playoffs this coming season. It will be mega crazy during that time. Not for nothing Sam but remember it was a different ceo at the time that wasn't doing anything. At least Elliot hill is starting off his tenure with as the main focus. Yo Sam start showing more vids like these you've been slacking. Let's go Caitlin! 💪🏼
Facts. There are millions of folks around the world who have no idea who Tyrese Halliburton is. But, they don’t just know, they LOVE Caitlin Clark. She has just transcended basketball. Btw I love TH, it’s just a comment on what CC has done
The NBA three point line differnces: NBA: 23 feet, 9 inches (arc top); 22 feet (corners). WNBA: 22 feet, 1¾ inches (top of the arc); 20 feet, 6¼ inches (corners).
@@stevehardwick7285 True, I think we all know that. I was just answering Sam's question about the difference between the two leagues three point lines.
Caitlin Clark=GOAT🐐. People think 🤔 this is all about basketball 🏀. This has nothing to do with basketball, CC marketing genius?! Shouts outs to everybody born on January 22,🎂 !!! This is the year of the Aquarius ♒️😊.
@@MalcolmLittle-pw9dzthe NBA is struggling to pull ratings due in large part to LeBron being the face of the league. His popularity is waning, and his shoes have never been massively popular.
I agree Sam, AB probably shouldn’t play in Unrivaled. She’s better off having more work out sessions with their new skills trainer Keith Porter. I’m up in the air up Lexie playing in Unrivaled. Her style fits but one things about Lexie is she’s a little hesitant to shoot or create or her own shot. In Unrivaled, it’s like a pickup game almost, you gotta he aggressive to get your shots. Maybe a couple/few seasons of that can have a good impact on Lexie’s offensive aggressiveness.
Nike should have had CC's shoe on her feet for her 1st game. They didn't do it because they were afraid of being accused of just celebrating the straight white girl. The board is a bunch of cowards who should be sued by the stock holders.
I think Lexi is holding her own and this is her playing against many of the concentrated few from the WNBA.This is fantastic confidence and her holding her own..and being her own player and seen in that way by audiences and players.. plus the money..Once Lexi gets a shoe..The whole team could if Fever blow up this season..
If I held Nike stock, I’d be pissed as hell! Nike pissed away hundreds of millions of dollars last year, not to mention the damage they did to their brand.
How were they not aware of NCAA women's basketball over the last couple of years? The talent in college alone should have set off some kind of wake up call at least to the point that they paid attention to it.
Oh I agree. They have missed a massive opportunity and likely 100's of millions in revenue by not having a shoe ready to go atleast by Christmas of 2024.
@@robertstanford1778 I agree and that's all I'm saying, there is no excuse for not being aware and ready for what was coming. That was a lame excuse. @JE-IC had a much better explanation on rich latta, I don't want to steal her thunder, she always has good info.
Her hype will never die just like Michael Jordan so u need to refrain from saying that her hype will go away it won't. She is that great. Well we had a black god in Michael Jordan now we have a woman God name Caitlin Clark
She needs to stay injury free. She needs a long career to stay at the forefront of people's minds. Playing for just a year or two isn't going to do it.
@robertstanford1778 she's been playing basketball since 5 yrs old ,soccer etc with no injuries and she is only getting stronger and my opinion is Caitlin has the highest IQ in basketball that's why all players hate her.
Haven't watched a second of 3v3 and will not...zero interest, but Lexie showed her game last season once Sides finally let her off the bench. Kate Martin was a dawg in college and she's been training hard in the off season, she'll do well.
It's good for the fans and I guess Caitlin will get some shine from it but she doesn't get a cut. When I googled it all I got was: 'Caitlin Clark's Nike shoe deal is worth $28 million over eight years. This deal is considered a record-breaking endorsement for a WNBA player. Explanation' As part of her deal, Nike will create a signature shoe for Clark, who plays for the Indiana Fever. Clark's deal is the biggest known deal for a women's basketball player. So, for me it's 'So what.' Her agent screwed her probably drooling over her 5%.
Nike fired a shizzload of their upper management, this guy is a new CEO. Looks like he's serious about marketing CC. Most Bigs/Posts are not going to look good in Unrivaled; they don't have the ball-handling and mobility required. The players who are going to shine are the bigger guards and athletic wings. Think CC, Rickea, Phee, etc. Also why Reese should be playing behind Lexie from here on.
I think we have all lost perspective on the fact that before her, no one really believed that a woman’s basketball player could break into the mainstream.
The main problem with this whole situation with CC shoe deal is CC fans don’t understand what a signature shoe deal is & how it works. Go look up details about signature shoe deals, collect data, & then you need to know & understand how negotiations work. 1. The 28 million is just the face value of the contract with royalties factored in over 8 yrs. A shoe deal is like a music contract the real money comes from actual sales of merchandise not the contract value without the royalties included. And it’s why every player doesn’t get one can you SELL products? 2. It’s important to remember you have two options with signature shoe deals. First, you take a higher yearly salary because you think or know you will not sell many shoes. Or second, you take a lower yearly salary with a higher royalty percentage because you know you are going sell a lot of shoes. But you can’t get both it’s either or negotiations. 3. The typical royalty percentage for signature shoes deals is 5% but it’s negotiable. Now, knowing this with the low yearly salaryCC took I’m sure CC negotiated a higher royalty percentage. Which is the correct thing for her to do because CC & her agent knows she is going to sell a lot of shoes. CC will easily make 100’s of millions a year once her shoes are released. The reason NBA players like LeBron, Zion, & KD etc… Get higher yearly value contracts is because they know they are not going to sell many shoes so they take lower royalty percentages. There’s a dirty secret in the shoe business that most don’t know. NBA players don’t sell a lot of shoes. MJ is the only player that sells shoes which is why he is still the king to this day. Also, Nike has only paid MJ 1 million a year in salary but his royalty checks from sales are 200 million plus yearly. That how he became a billionaire 😂 But you will not hear MJ has the biggest signature shoe deal but his yearly earning dwarfs every player in the NBA nobody is close to MJ. I firmly believe CC will surpass MJ in yearly shoes sales. So, please stop looking at the 28 million value thinking it’s a bad deal because it not CC & her agent are no fools. There’s a reason all those other companies dropped out of the running to sign her & it wasn’t because she wanted a higher yearly salary. 😂 It’s because she wanted a bigger share of the sales. She will be the highest paid athlete yearly in the world once her shoes are released. All her fans need to chill & calm down. Nike knows what they are doing they need to produce 50 million shoes if they’re smart because CC is going to sell them and it takes time make that many shoes. Nike produces 50 million Jordan’s each year as a reference. Do you think CC will sell as many shoes as Jordan? I do. Nike signature shoes typically take 18 months on avg from development to market. Finally, LeBron’s 1st shoe was a limited release of just 10,000 shoes. And I’m sure it was the same for others who made it to market quickly. If Nike did that with CC there would have been all hell raised. 😂 Even MJ waited until his 2nd season & Nike only produced 4 million shoes in ‘85. They will need helluva lot more than that for CC 😂, Nike is doing the right thing taking their time to make sure everything is right because billions are at stake. CC fans main concern should not be when the shoes are released but they should be worried about being able to purchase a pair when they are released. Pray 🙏 Nike produces enough to kill & stop the resellers from buying up all the inventory & then price gouging with markups. Just be patient the best things in life are worth waiting for.
Sooner the better ideally rhey would have had the shoe ready for the beginning of this season so they could capitilize on her popularity. Heaven forbid she suffers a career ending injury as that would kill sales pretty quickly.
Iowa Granny who's been watching Caitlin for years, and I swear there was a video when she was still in college where she was showing 2 prototypes, one gold, and one pastel. I think it was when she signed with them. So you're right, we must be patient. There's so much more going on that we know of. A clothing line maybe? Caitlin golf shoes? Who knows. She's a marketing genius!!
There’s 1000s of videos covering the reason they didn’t put out her shoe yet , why is this guy in the video acting stupid like he dosent know ?. Her shoe wasent put out because black players were crying they didn’t have a shoe
In other news, the Nike CEO has quietly moved to end all DEI at the nearly bankrupt sports apparel company and layoff 5k employees who are incompetent and were not hired based on merit. The $200 million savings will fund the production of the shoe and once again save the company like Jordan did!
The W had their chance in the beginning but the play was so boring people tuned out both men and women. Over the years the game has not sped up but remained the same. Then the sports channels began offering less time slots. Sort of a vicious circle. Sad, but the new players are spicing up the play on the floor and bringing better games to the public.
Nike, small team of what? Cos they certainly aren't business Gurus. You have successfully, as a company, thrown away a year of profit for what? love to know what your shareholders think.
This was a massive fumble by Nike. Caitlin Clark has a huge following among teenage girls, the Swiftie crowd, who spend money like there is no tomorrow. A huge untapped market for sports apparel.
Hype ain't dying down. It took so long because the shoe drops ALL OVER THE WORLD SIMULTANEOUSLY. You have to coordinate publicity, manufacture, delivery, colors, countries. This ain't the A'ja shoe. Nike knows what they have. The shoe will sell out immediately, be back ordered for years and years. This is the biggest shoe drop in Nike history. There's no hurry. She's the face of basketball and will be until she retires.
I believe her popularity will increase even more this season, then maintain that level for several years. She is a vastly different type of person-one of a kind.
