  • The Force Behind the Nike Empire
    The Force Behind the Nike Empire by Jackie Krentzman Phil Knight built a successful business As 20-year-old Stanford golfer by selling shoes. He Tiger Woods fought his way to an became a billionaire unprecedented third U.S. Amateur by selling dreams. title last summer, Nike founder Phil Knight shadowed him from hole to hole, appraising the young phenom's every smile the way a golf coach would his swing. "I hope we sign him," Knight said at the time. "If not, I hope he goes to medical school." Three days later, KNIGHT WATCH: The Woods called a news conference, CEO surveys his Beaverton, stepped before the TV cameras Ore., "campus." and announced that he was quitting college to join the Robbie McLaren Professional Golf Association Tour. "Well," he said with a big grin, "I guess it's 'Hello, world,' huh?" An adoring sports media lapped up the young man's winning soundbite. Then, just 24 hours later, the other shoe dropped. In a barrage of new TV spots and full-page newspaper ads, Nike unveiled its latest pitchman: pro golfer Tiger Woods. The Nike- crafted tag line on the ads? "Hello, World." Woods may be the company's current star, but its controversial CEO and founder is the real story. Nike signed Woods to a five- year endorsement deal, reportedly worth more than $40 million, and has thrown its considerable weight behind him. The company is packaging the young golfer--who is part African American, part Chinese, part American Indian, part Thai and part white--as the Jackie Robinson of golf, breaking down barriers each time he steps on a course.

  • The Maturation of Russell Westbrook
    The Maturation of Russell Westbrook Khris Matthews-Marion Contributing Writer, Sports Radio America “I think Russell’s demeanor and his aggression is what the DNA of a team should be. He’s aggressive and he’s unapologetic about the way he plays. “I believe Russell has the same mentality that I have had, which is that criticism doesn’t matter.” -- Kobe Bryant on Russell Westbrook’s development. Oklahoma City – When he was drafted fourth overall by the Seattle Supersonics in the 2008 NBA draft, analysts struggled to come up with a player comparison for him. Marc Jackson compared him to Gary Payton and because of his rebounding ability; the media tabbed Rajon Rondo as the best example of what he could turn into. Still, others thought he was built in the Steve Francis mold. However, it may be the Black Mamba, in terms of intensity and eye- popping athletic ability, who may be the closest and best equivalent when looking at the future of Russell Westbrook. Kobe Bryant is arguably the greatest player the NBA has seen in the last thirty years not named Michael Jordan. He has been the heartbeat of LA's most historic team for almost two decades and has hoisted the Larry O'Brien trophy five separate times. His comments during ESPN Grantland's Basketball Hour were revealing about the level of respect he has for a man who is walking down a similar path. His experience, success, basketball acumen and specifically his relationship with Shaquille O'Neal made him a perfect candidate to judge the maturation of man who is escaping the shadow of an established star.

  • Brandon Steiner Raised with His Two Brothers by a Single Mother in a Tiny
    Brandon Steiner Raised with his two brothers by a single mother in a tiny apartment in Brooklyn, Brandon Steiner came from truly humble beginnings to build the most successful sports marketing brand in the industry. Brandon started his education at John Dewey High School in Coney Island, NY. He then earned an undergraduate degree in accounting at the Martin J. Whitman School of Management from Syracuse in 1981. Success didn’t come easy, and in his career Brandon soldiered through countless peaks and valleys – both professionally and personally – having to reinvent himself at almost every turn. Brandon started as a manager in the Hyatt hotel chain, transitioned into food service – managing the Hard Rock Cafe in its glory days on 57th Street in New York City, then managed the Sporting Club, NYC’s first true sports bar. It was in these last two posts that Brandon began to work with professional athletes, hiring them for restaurant events, then representing them as they negotiated the world of corporate appearances and speaking engagements. Sports marketing was where Brandon found his true niche, eventually earning a reputation as one of the gurus of the industry. Brandon has become a permanent fixture in the media and is a regular on ESPN Radio 1050 along with his co-hosting duties on Yankees-Steiner: Memories of the Game which is prominently featured on the YES Network. Brandon is commonly utilized as an expert commentator on all issues involving sports and is regularly featured on national news networks including CNBC, CNN, MSNBC, ESPN and in newspapers such as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
