Nike attracted a lot of folks with their wiz bang campus. Those days are over. Their workforce scattered to the four winds during Covid and they're resisting the plan to return. They're suddenly forced to compete in a world where location and lifestyle matter and they're losing. Phil might have gotten it three decades ago, but those days are over.

Now, counterpoint. Zion spent the last year rehabbing in Beaverton. I'd be curious why and what lessons can be learned from that which could be applied to bringing top-level folks out here. There's something there.

Only a %50 million Lillard contract? I'm sure he's angling for a lot more than that.

Great questions. Great answers. As another commenter says, Onward!

As always, good information. Glad you're liking the new gig.

If uncle Phil buys the Blazers maybe the franchise will start investing in some big men instead of guards all the time. Keep Billups I think he is a great players coach. He will bring in some hard nosed defensive players.

I'm glad you're doing what you're doing. I've always liked your insights and your writing. Don't always agree, but that's the way it works. Onward!

Right on to everything, John.

I like all your topics today keep up the great work. Who will replace Dame when flies away to another team?

Dear John, what long-term effect will the current version of the NIL have on Division 2 and Division 3 college sports programs?

Leaving the borigonian was a great idea. No more leash.
