What was a year at Duke worth to Zion in terms of marketing value?

I think the shoe blowout did as much as anything.

Does Duke also deserves credit for the lucrative shoe blowout? Would Zion have been wearing Nikes elsewhere?

You could put a dollar value on it, but I'd prefer not to. Zion seems to be a genuinely nice guy and nice is priceless.

This is still one of my favorite pictures of Zion during the season, after the Louisville game when he stopped on his way to the locker room for a picture with a young fan.
