Nike who?
Duke superstar Zion Williams is most likely to be drafted to the New Orleans Pelicans with the first overall pick who surprisingly won the NBA Draft Lottery earlier this month.
Master P and his son Romeo are looking to capatilize on the situation with a business proposition of their own. They reportedly offered Williamson a $20 million shoe deal with MoneYatti, and a role on I Got The Hook Up 3. ONLY if the Pelicans actually draft him.
“I know Zion gonna get a big shoe deal from Nike or Adidas or whatever. We gonna get him a deal just to have to wear shoes outside of basketball,” Master P said to TMZ Sports. “Just to wear it on the side, not in the game, I’m saying $20 [million].”
Why would they want to do this deal? According to Bleacher Report, it could boost their profits $100 million.
New Orleans can make it official during the NBA Draft Thursday, June 20.
