SI: USA Basketball has denied it, but do you still think your issues with Nike cost you a spot on the Olympic team? Jaylen Brown: For sure. One, I think sneaker industries, and I’ve said this before, have way too much control over the basketball foundation. In youth sports, it’s the same. Kids are having to worry about even playing with Nike, playing well on the Adidas circuit. And they should just be working on developing their basketball skills. Instead, we’re focusing more on shoe politics, and I think that is why the rest of the world has caught up. And if we don’t do something about it, the next Olympics and the next global outings are going to look a lot different.
