Adidas Takes The Lead For Zion

Roughly 17 hours after Zion Williamson busts through his Nike Paul George 2.5 sneakers against rival UNC, we have odds on what brand will sign him when he is a professional.

This is just the best. You can literally bet on anything these days. The college athletes can't make money off of themselves but at least we can! Seems a tad bit backwards.

This is obviously a pretty close race, Adidas at +125 means that they have an implied probability of 44% to sign Zion. Nike at +150 has an implied probability of 40% to sign him. It really should come as no surprise Adidas is the slight favorite given the magnitude of last nights incident and it keep Zion out of the game with a mild knee sprain. I would have liked to know what the odds were going into last night because Zion's high school AAU team was sponsored by Adidas and he obviously now plays for the flagship Nike college basketball program. It will be an interesting storyline to follow given the amount of money the brand that signs him will be offering. He is the most brand-able athlete coming into the NBA since LeBron.

Also, I am trying to find a way to deposit as much money as I can into a BetOnline account so I can put it all on the Big Baller Brand at 100-1 to sign Zion. Remember, the big baller has NEVA LOST.
