One Nike employee cost the company billions with this one simple mistake

[post_page_title]Getting off to a rocky start[/post_page_title]
Things didn’t get off to the best of starts for Nike during the negotiations. Despite being a well-known name in basketball, the Nike representative pronounced Curry’s name wrong. It was taken as a sign of disrespect when his name was pronounced as Steph-On rather than how it should be, Steph-En. That was embarrassing enough, but the fact that no Nike representative in the room tried to correct the person soon turned Curry and his father off the deal.
