Stormy Daniels’ attorney, Michael Avenatti, is back making claims about Nike. He made his latest accusations against Nike in a series of late night/early morning tweets.
Avenatti claims the shoe company made payments to Zion Williamson’s mother to get him to go to Duke.
.@DukeMBB – About this denial by Coach K the other day relating to payments by Nike…Can you please ask Zion Williamson’s mother – Sharonda Sampson – whether she was paid by @nike for bogus “consulting services” in 2016/17 as part of a Nike bribe to get Zion to go to Duke? Thx.

I almost forgot – long day – @DukeMBB can you also have your close friends at @Nike check their Nike Vendor Portal for payments to “Sharonda Sampson Consulting”. Just search 2016 to the present. Appreciate it.

Tmrw promises to be exciting. To those who thought I would curl up in the fetal position, you haven’t been paying attention the last 18 months and you clearly know nothing about how I am built. #ManInTheArena

I’m still waiting for @nike to call me a liar and state they have not been bribing players for years to go to “Nike” colleges in violation of countless federal criminal statutes…

Avenatti then provided documentation that show alleged payments from Nike to players in 2016 and 2017.
2/2 – Nike should be criminally indicted on well over 200 counts and should also explain why they misled their investors/the SEC. If I'm lying or the docs are not legit, I challenge @nike to issue a stmt claiming no bribes were ever paid. Just Do It Nike!https://t.co/4gi8MQRcQB

If there are payments from Nike to Williamson’s mother that could make for some problems for Duke and Coach K. Avenatti definitely thinks there’s something there, although he might not be the most reliable of sources.
