Scoop Jackson: Wade Leaving Nike in 2012 Shows He Could Test ‘New Waters’

ESPN Columnist Scoop Jackson thinks Dwyane Wade’s endorsement history could hint at him potentially “testing new waters.”

“[Wade] leaving Jordan — Brand Jordan, the company — leads me to believe that inside of him, not that he’s not loyal, but he doesn’t have a problem testing out new waters,” Jackson said on the Big O Show. “That’s what fears me more than anything else. I’m more fearful of what Wade may decide to do as opposed to what Miami is gonna do, whatever Micky Arison and Pat Riley decide to do.”

Wade left Nike and Jordan Brand in 2012 for Li-Ning, a Chinese athletic apparel company.
