Bonus Anthony Davis

Anthony Davis is one of the greatest athletes to ever play at USC winning 5 National Championships. That's right... FIVE! Two in football, and three more in baseball. Before there was Bo Knows, there was AD Does. Davis had a legendary career at SC capped off with wins over UCLA where he ran for 195 yards, followed by his 4 TD's against Notre Dame in the famous Comeback Game that the Trojans won 55-24 and finishing with a win in the Rose Bowl win over Ohio State to secure yet another National Championship. But it was all about the shoes, man. THE SHOES. That's because Davis played those final three games wearing shoes by a little known company out of Oregon by the name of Nike. That's right, AD was one of the first to wear the swoosh before anyone knew what the swoosh was. And when Anthony was on the cover of Sports Illustrated in December of 1974, you could see that shoe running all over the Fighting Irish. AD talked with us about his relationship with the shoe company and the man who designed a shoe for him over 50 years ago. It was a match made in heaven.
