So, we have NIKE giving payments to youth basketball players the same week that Kobe, who runs a youth basketball camp, dies in a helicopter crash.

Even stranger, John Legend and Kristi Teigen ( of Standard Hotel 'get my pedo on' Fame ) manage to insert themselves into the news by editing out a helicopter from their Super Bowl commercial.

Also, Nike removed Kobe products: https://heavy.com/sports/2020/01/nike-kobe-bryant-products-removed-website/

Oddly, they're saying "capitalism" is the reason for removing the products!!!

This may be contract related. With only Kobe's signature on the contract, there is no way for his family to be paid from the sale of his merchandise.

or...

it could be a cynical ploy to spike prices of his merchandise already in circulation.
