Today In Social Sports Stupidity

Yes, one might venture to guess that any apparell associated with LeBron James would sell really well.

Our friend Darren is at it again, folks.

Most remarkable aspect of LeBron's Nike shoe sales this year? He barely wore the model they made for him & it sold well at retail.

LeBron James could patrol NBA arenas wearing freakin' Tevas for 82 games a season, every season, but as long as Foot Locker and other outlets continue to sell Nikes that are coined as the signature shoe of LeBron James, one of the most popular athletes in the world, the logical guess here is that retail sales will prove to be exceedingly healthy during the year-end PowerPoint presentation.

The most "remarkable aspect" of Rovell's tweet is the fact that such a nugget would be considered sizzling enough to share with 481,000 followers.

There's a beautiful reason why sharin' rhymes with Darren.
