Dwyane Wade leaving Jordan Brand for Chinese apparel company

nbaoffseason:

Dwyane Wade has reportedly left Nike for Li-Ning, the Chinese shoe company that counts Evan Turner, Jose Calderon, and Hasheem Thabeet (?) among its endorsers. Li-Ning also used to sponsor Shaquille O’Neal and Baron Davis, so this could be an indication that Wade plans to expand his global brand, gain fifty pounds, and steal a reality show idea from Steve Nash.

Wade’s contract expired today, amid rumors of conflicts with Jordan Brand, primarily their insistence that Wade start wearing jeans from MJ’s personal denim line, and that he change the spelling of his name to “Dwayne.” Li-Ning’s website says, “Balance is the absence of doubt,” so maybe the reason Wade falls down so much is that he’s unsure of himself?

Would Nike really ask someone to “change the spelling of his name”?
