Nike co-founder <strong>Phil Knight<\/strong> will shortly be announced among the latest to receive the prestigious honor. Inducted as a part of the &#8220;contributors&#8221; category, Knight&#8217;s impact on the globalization and popularity of basketball is undeniable. The famous taglines, such as &#8220;Be Like Mike&#8221;, and advertising, such as<strong> Charles Barkley<\/strong>&#8216;s &#8220;I am not a role model&#8221; campaign, are legendary. Nike sponsors <strong>USA basketball<\/strong>, and it just so happened that every athlete on this year&#8217;s gold medal winning team was Nike sponsored athlete, including <strong>Kobe Bryant<\/strong>, <strong>LeBron James<\/strong>, and <strong>Kevin Durant<\/strong>. Not to mention, back in 1984 he threw what was considered a pile of money at a young man named <strong>Michael Jordan<\/strong>, and we all know how that turned out. We at <strong>Snkrs Day<\/strong> would like to send out personal congrats to Mr. Knight. It is an honor well deserved. &#8220;The Swoosh&#8221; will live forever. Tune in right now to NBATV to see it live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phil Knight to be Inducted Into Basketball Hall of Fame<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4653,"featured_media":233462,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1224791],"tags":[1225736,1225494,1205932],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Phil Knight to be Inducted Into Basketball Hall of Fame | Snkrs Day<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Where to buy Phil Knight to be Inducted Into Basketball Hall of Fame shoes.
