As reported earlier, [1] Nike just recendly laid out a $90,000,000 contract for high school basketball player LeBron James, and as an adlister added, $1,000,000 for 13 year old soccer player Freddy Adu. [2]
So... as a sequel of sorts to their infamous answer to Nike's Streaker commercial, Reebok just signed up, get this, 3.5 year old basketball player Mark Walker Jr. That's right - three and a half years old. The price: A college trust fund.

(includes quicktimes of the cute-as-a-button hoopster in action - wow).
This may or may not be a deliberate Reebok "4Q!" to Nike, but I'm betting it is. ROTFLMAO.
