What does loyalty have to do with Nike and Zion Williamson?

Dear Zion Williamson, I have worn Nike on my feet most of my entire life once I could afford them in the 1990’s. Growing up in the Michael Jordan era was majestic. Ultimately branding me a Nike kid for life. I recently told my wife Stevie that I am one lucky guy.

Born in the 70’s, and lucky enough to have witnessed the era of Magic and Bird in the 80s, MJ in the 90’s, Kobe in the 2000’s and then now LBJ’s final descent. Giannis is currently up next up after KD and Russ been doing their things respectively.

Now is the coming of Zion WIlliamson with the Duke Bluedevils.

Then there was this…..

I first seen videos of you on court through social media a couple years back. I do not follow college basketball at all however. Duke may have won a new fan in me to watch them ride this out.

After checking Google Trends today Zion, your name is still trending hard. That brings the readers, and I here together today with you.
