Mike Repole Piece

Of course not, but Repole built two beverage companies with sports celebrity endorsers likely given shares. Famously Kobe Bryant made a $4 million investment in Body Armor which his estate got a 100x ROI.
Curry of course doesn't "need" Repole but with Tom Brady as a partner already, Curry is well aware that he may be able to strike a great deal. NBA players endorsing a sneaker goes pretty far in potentially boosting sales so who knows.

With our NIL budget in the stratosphere, Repole now is the defacto team owner to extent. Not exactly the partner I'd want, but that's the price of success I guess.

Yeah Repole can be obnoxious and abrasive, as evidenced by his conflicts and arguments with his horse racing peers, his infamous Francesa show rant, etc. That said, we obviously need his support in this wacky world of “professional” college hoops. You can bet he will have a tremendous say in picking Rick’s successor. The ADs of the world used to be primary forces in HC selections. Obviously that dynamic has changed.
