It's one of the obvious or 'cool' ideas..along with record label, clothing company, and such.
Here's the list of the top paid athletes. These usually don't change much and they won't likely go broke. MJ and Kobe are expanding, well Kobe is expanding...with his Kobe Academy, just like MJ has his Basketball Camp. And he's huge in China, which Nike is capitalizing on as well.
