Kobe’s Endorsement Sours

As the NBA’s work stoppage continues, Kobe Bryant is facing even more financial bad news. His endorsement from Power Balance LLC appears to have collapsed as the company files for bankruptsy. The move follows an Australian challenge of the company’s claim that its $30 wristband helps improve strength, balance, and flexibility.



          Power-less

Power Balance collapsed
Under an Australian charge;
And it cost Kobe Bryant
Four Hundred Large.

It’s not only his sport
That Kobe has missed;
There’s all of that money
For that thing on his wrist.

The company’s bad news
Can throw one off course;
And cause one to look for
Something else to endorse.
