Re: Database of Rare And Interesting NBA Player Measurements. Made this new thread because I now have a lot more measurements than just Russell/Wilt/Kareem like my old thread.
In 2015, the United States imported close to 88 billion U.S. dollars worth of apparel. Nike, which name is derived from the Greek goddess of victory, is the largest apparel company in the world and is headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon. It was founded on January 25, 1964 by Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight. Nike's revenue amounted to approximately 32.38 billion U.S. dollars in fiscal year 2016.
The U.S. apparel market is the largest in the world. In 2015, the market was valued at approximately 359 billion U.S. dollars. The apparel manufacturing industry in the United States employed about 87,242 people in 2015; which in retrospect seems quite minuscule for being the largest global apparel market.
