Multiple Choice

NBA star Stephen Curry has already put the Golden State Warriors in the record books this year. He has led the team to more wins than the record Michael Jordan had with the Chicago Bulls in the 1995-96 season.

This has led to huge sales of his Under Armour Curry One and Curry Two sneakers.

Cause: Stephen Curry led the Golden State Warriors to more wins than the Chicago Bulls

Effect:

• Stephen Curry is now better than Michael Jordan

• the sales of the Curry One and Curry Two has increased

• the Chicago Bulls are not the best basketball team anymore

• the Golden State Warriors are the best team in the NBA

Multiple Choice

Part of the reason Jordans have earned more money is because the brand offers more choice of products. Jaimee Minney is a spokeswoman for Slice Intelligence. Minney says that there are many more styles of Air Jordans than Curry Ones or Twos. This gives shoppers more choices and sneaker lovers a reason to buy more than one pair.

Cause: Since there are more styles of Air Jordans than Curry Ones and Twos

Effect:

• Jordans earn more money than the Curry Ones and Twos

• buyers don't know that the Curry Ones and Twos exist

• you can only buy two pairs of Currys rather than multiple pairs

• Curry Ones and Twos never earn money
