Reebok Asks Gortat To Cover Up Jordan Tattoo

[Sean]

i got a Superman tattoo, Spider-Man tried to cover it up, but i threw water on him, spiders hate water

[Kuzzy Powers]

The funniest part about all this is finding out that Gortat actually has an endorsement deal, lol.

Lol @ reebok's hating ass tho. Wanting a guy like Gortat to cover up a fucking tattoo on the back of his leg. The guy gets on the court for like 8 mins a game and gets pretty much 0 press. Good for him for saying no.

How the hell does he have an endorsement deal? lol...

I didn't know potentially backing up the best center your whole career could get you an endorsement deal...

It's been stated before in this thread. Because of his nationality and his popularity in Europe, he's making a lot of merchandising money over there.

It may be funny for a center to have a Jordan tat, but he dunks better than some guards when he has a running start.

I remember that dunk, was sick as hell

And Gortat has a lot of sway with a lot of poles

I for one, will get a gortat jersey no matter what team he signs with this FA

[Len B]

Gortat is my inspiration considering we're both Polish.

If I can be like Gortat.

Reebok's executives have to do what they think will help them increase sales -- or in this case, prevent sales from decreasing because people might see the "Reebok" shoes next to the "Air Jordan" logo.

I wouldn't call it hate, more like... 'crafty marketing move'?

If Burger King pays you endorsement money you dont eat a Big Mac on national tv.

Perhaps Burger King should have had something when you brought McDonalds to eat during the contract negotiations.

You made that work perfectly

The tat looks more like Barkley instead of Jordan to me...

[FlawLeSs]
