Overtime Elite

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Been talked about several times in different threads but I found what I think is a pretty good explanation for what OE is and how it's going to operate so thought it worth its own thread.

I'm not usually one to mock an 18 year old's name, but there's gotta be a helluva story behind the name of Overtime Elite player "LeBron Lopez from the Philippines."

I share the various complaints about adidas’ IU apparel deal common among fans, but this will be a good thing if IU stays with them.

Now, if the long-rumored Nike HS league comes along, and IU switches, it’s probably a wash or better.

Sketchers is bringing out a basketball department I think. Even they could out better apparel than Adidas. Adidas is just an embarrassment.

If IU moves on from adidas for Sketchers rather than Nike or Jordan Brand, that'd be disappointing

It's like Ron Arrest wanting to be Metta World Peace even I still don't understand that one.

Well same. I'm just saying, Adidas sucks. Like bad. Nike would be the best thing to go with... But I wouldn't mind seeing Indiana be a legitimate trail blazer and go off the grid with some like Puma or New Balance. Reebok is even bringing back their basketball business with Shaq and Iverson. That could be sweet.
