Nico Harrison Mishandled Massive Stephen Curry Deal That Threw Accusations of Fraud on Nike

2 min read

Nico Harrison has been trending for a couple of hours because of his role in the Luka Doncic-Anthony Davis trade. The general consensus is that GM and President of Basketball Operations at the Mavericks seem to have gotten the move wrong by trading away their face of the franchise. Amidst the current debacle, his previous mistake involving Stephen Curry comes to light. That mistake is linked to his time at Nike when they were ready to offer the Warriors star a contract.

A tweet of “Unserious human being” followed by a screenshot of the details regarding the Nike pitch meeting. Apparently, in the meeting, Harrison missed pronouncing the 4x NBA champion name and there was also another error. The presentation was incorrect, as the deck was originally a Kevin Durant pitch.

Because of this, Jeff Austin, the agent if Curry, once spoke about the ordeal with Nike and Under Armour. “In the Under Armour case, I didn’t push but I let them know that I prefer Under Armour for a number of reasons. Part of which was the Nike pitch meeting was fraud and mistakes.
