Kevin Durant To Warriors Because Nike Promised To Up Sponsorship to $300 Million
Kevin Durant To Warriors Because Nike Promised To Up Sponsorship to $300 Million
Kevin Durant To Warriors Because Nike Promised To Up Sponsorship to $300 Million Kevin Durant has a lot of reasons to want to join the Golden State Warriors during NBA Free Agency and announce his decision to do so on this 4th of July. The Warriors had the NBA's best record in history, and he becomes the answer to the riddle of how to deal with bangers in the middle like LeBron James. But perhaps the biggest reason was one just told to me by a friend who's in a high place to know, and that is that Nike promised to increase their sponsorship of Kevin Durant to $300 million over 10 years. While no one else has reported that yet, if you think about where he's going to, the San Francisco Bay Area, the logic behind the report makes sense. The SF Bay Area, of which Oakland and San Francisco are at its center, commands one of the top five highest rates to air a commercial in America. That's reflective not only of population size but buying power: San Francisco and San Jose are ranked numbers one and three in terms of urban economic output in a survey conducted last year. Those are just two of many ways of saying that Kevin Durant is going to a much larger media market than he was in, in Oklahoma City. Stay tuned.

Raiders and City Of Oakland Taking Construction Bids On New NFL Stadium
Raiders and City Of Oakland Taking Construction Bids On New NFL Stadium
Oakland Raiders and City of Oakland Taking Construction Bids On New NFL Stadium While what's left of the mainstream media tries to (for some strange unknown reason) help Sheldon Adelson and Mark Davis craft a myth that the Raiders are leaving Oakland for Las Vegas, the truth of the progress of the City of Oakland and County of Alameda and the same NFL team toward building a new stadium in Oakland is covered up, save for the work of bloggers / vloggers – in this space. A number of tweets reporting that the City of Oakland was surveying major construction contractors with stadium building experience was confirmed by a well-placed source on this 4th of July morning. Two firms, Turner Construction Company (which built Levi's Stadium where the San Francisco 49ers play) and J Albanese were two of a number of organizations contacted and asked to submit bids on not just the construction of a Raiders stadium, but with respect to various possible stadium configurations, including one with a new facility for the Oakland Athletics. I've not been able to confirm the Athletics role in this, but until I do, it's fair to say the Oakland A's are working on two tracks: Howard Terminal and the easier-to-build-on existing Coliseum site. While my sources have said the A's want Howard Terminal, there's more to be gained in my view by staying at the Coliseum and working something out with the Raiders. On the matter of the Raiders side of the construction bid news, this also ads detail to my previous report about the cost study the Raiders were working on and headed by new employee Larry McNeil. And yes, the same Larry McNeil who headed the effort to build Levi's Stadium. Some readers and viewers have asked me how the Raiders can 'work' on Las Vegas and Oakland at the same time? Well, the answer is the Raiders aren't working on Las Vegas, so much as focusing on the politics around a possible stadium there. Meanwhile, there's no such hard political issue in Oakland, where the hard work and financing issues have been worked out, Ronnie Lott and his group have a financing plan, and the City of Oakland and the County of Alameda are working toward what will be the long term stadium solution that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has asked for, and for some time now. Stay tuned.

Al Horford To Boston Celtics From Atlanta Hawks In NBA Free Agency
Al Horford To Boston Celtics From Atlanta Hawks In NBA Free Agency
Al Horford has shocked Atlanta Hawks fans by taking a deal to go to The Boston Celtics. This after Horford told fans he expected to remain with the Hawks. Whatever the reason for the NBA Free Agency move, I am not convinced that it makes Atlanta a better team. I think their problem is 100 percent coaching and lack of adjustments to what the opponents are doing. Stay tuned.

Kevin Durant To Warriors Pissed Off Stephen A Smith - Bandwagon Really About Racism
Kevin Durant To Warriors Pissed Off Stephen A Smith - Bandwagon Really About Racism Stephen A Smith has had a field day attacking Stephen Curry and ESPN has fueled an ugly light-skinned black vs dark-skinned black racism. In this case it's the dark skinned Smith hating on the light skinned Curry. Kevin Durant choosing the Golden State Warriors is, for Smith, crossing the line. Now he has to look at the entire situation differently. Now the Warriors have a dark skinned black superstar to join the light skinned black superstars. Stephen A Smith has to stop the racism now and he can't stand it! Too bad.
