Michael Avenatti isn't going down without a fight. The unabashedly self-aggrandizing lawyer — made famous for representing adult film star Stormy Daniels who has since dropped him in her civil suit against President Trump — was arrested on Monday for allegedly trying to extort $20 million from Nike.

A day later, though, Avenatti lived up to his earlier promise of trying to expose the athletic shoe and apparel giant for paying prominent high school basketball players to play for certain programs. Currently in his crosshairs? Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton and University of Oregon big man Bol Bol.

Deandre Ayton, the No. 1 pick of the 2018 NBA draft, spent one season at the University of Arizona, whose athletic teams wear Nike, before turning pro. Wildcats coach Sean Miller remains under scrutiny for his role in the college basketball corruption scandal that has rocked the NCAA over the last 18 months.

FBI sources told ESPN last year that Miller and agent Christian Dawkins were recorded while discussing a $100,000 payment to Deandre Ayton, now with the Suns, that directed him to Arizona.

Bol, meanwhile, is a freshman at the University of Oregon — the alma mater of Nike founder Phil Knight and another endorser of the company's athletic equipment and apparel. The 7-foot-2 big man averaged 21.0 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game before suffering a stress fracture in his foot in early January. He's projected to be a lottery pick in June's NBA draft.

Michael Avenatti was arrested Monday after being indicted by the Southern District of New York. U.S. Attorney Michael Berman subsequently characterized his alleged extortion scheme as an “old-fashioned shakedown.” Avenatti, released on $300,000 bond shortly following his arrest, maintains his innocence.
