Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James recalled being pitch by Reebok, being presented with a lofty offer, and declining that offer during an appearance on 'New Heights.'
LeBron James signed with Nike in 2003, but he almost ended up with Reebok instead. James said he had three pitches, one from Nike, Reebok and Adidas, during a recent appearance on "New Heights." "My senior year, the process began. The recruitments, the Nikes came in and Adidas was still there, Reebok came in, And1, all these companies came in, and I took on three pitches. I did an Adidas pitch, I did a Reebok pitch, I did a Nike pitch.
James said Reebok flew him in, and within their pitch, they showed off their NFL gear. "I don’t know if you guys remember this, but Reebok had the NFL as well. So they knew my love for football as well, so they had all the NFL jerseys, all the Pro Bowl-looking jerseys that were going to be the next year, and I’m sitting across from the table. I’m a senior in high school, I actually – I’m going back to class the next day. They flew me in. I’m going back to St. Vincent St.
