First-round NBA draft pick
Corey Maggette's business
advisor Mickey Hamano said
that Maggette has been
"invited" by Michael Jordan
to become a Jordan Brand
endorser, according to Bob
Sakamoto of the CHICAGO
TRIBUNE. But Hamano noted
that AND 1 "has made us a
substantial offer for Corey
to endorse gym shoes and
athletic apparel. And they
want Corey to be their
marquee player." Maggette's
attorney George Maurides
said that Maggette agreed to
a $100,000 draft-day
trading-card deal (CHICAGO
TRIBUNE, 7/1).
