Further notes:Just caught the pacers unis in action and they look really sharp. In the flipside I saw the wizards and they are even worse than I thought they would be. My 16 and 19 y/o nephews are in town and they saw the nets basquiats and said “those are doooooope” The bulls ones didn’t look good to me on tv. The scribbles down the sides look really bad

Percy "Master P" Miller confirms to ESPN that he's in negotiations to acquire Reebok with ex-NBA guard Baron Davis. "These companies have been benefiting off us, this could be history for this company going Black-owned," Miller tells ESPN.— Eric Woodyard (@E_Woodyard) December 28, 2020

Reebok may not be in the best financial shape these days. The most valuable asset they have might be a recognizable brand name to offset a ton of debt. If they were solidly above water Baron Davis couldn't front enough money to buy them.

theyre pretty huge in the crossfit / tough mudder / spartan / fitness world. pretty much dead for hoops i think outside of releasing new iverson/shaq/kemp colorways every year or whatever.

according to dan runcie:
Master P enters a crowded field. When the news of Adidas selling Reebok first broke, Authentic Brands Group (ABG) was named as a potential buyer. In 2019, Shaquille O'Neal, an ABG partner, expressed interest in acquiring Reebok since Adidas has "diluted [the brand] so much to where it's almost gone." Other potential buyers include VF Corp, which just bought Supreme for $2.1 billion, and Anta Sports, the third-largest sportswear company by revenue. But those holding companies have portfolios of brands that get sold primarily in department stores. Holding companies succeed on breadth and scale. Reebok's fate could stay the same if it became one of the dozens of brands under those umbrellas.Master P and Baron Davis offer a different value prop. Percy Miller's business ventures are mostly entrepreneurial. He builds from the ground-up. Percy Miller accumulates his wealth by owning a large share of smaller pies. Reebok is not a smaller pie, but the brand still needs focus. Master P has succeeded in smaller-scale consumer-packaged goods and apparel lines, so that helps. An all-Black Reebok ownership group will inspire some business and get great PR, but this relaunch would still need more. Reebok's comeback needs a level of focus that the brand hasn't had since its 'Rbk' lifestyle days.Will the deal go through? Master P told CNBC that Reebok is worth $500 million and there's no way he would pay $2.4 billion. It's a negotiation process, but I doubt Adidas sells for just 20% of its asking price. I won't be surprised if ABG, VF Corp, or another buyer is willing to pay $1.5 billion or more for the apparel company that made over $2 billion in revenue in 2019.

We’ve been looking for new floors for our place for like 8 months and we want a really light maple wood look in vinyl plank and it just doesn’t exist. Like 90% of all the vinyl floors available have grey in them and/or are oak.
