Ball Don't Lie - NBA

I understand that it's media day.

I understand that nobody is going to use the full picture, and that you really don't need to suit up as if you're about to play 43 minutes in a Game 7. But low-tops, and no socks? Should we just pipe in the crappy Jack Johnson music?

    Nice Skippies. What are those, Pro-keds? The new Damon Dash release - Scuffabrine. Maybe he borrowed them from the assistant female photographer. They're not even clean, bro. Looks like a crab leg stuck in a marshmellow. He shoulda worn his ring in the picture.

    Good lord....not only are those low tops, but they're hugging his feet like ballet shoes.

    Many things are wrong with Jack Johnson, and many things are so RIGHT with B-Scal. No way that guy is a pro ball player...

    who can identify those shoes? I don't see a swoosh or 3 stripes. are they Starbuys?
    low tops are no big deal. lots of dudes wear them. nash, arenas. even MJ used to from time to time. the ankle support of highs is overrated.

    I just saw a Clyde Drexler interview where he said he preferred low-tops to modern basketball shoes. I think Scal must have forgotten his shoes on the way to the photo shoot and had to borrow some from one of the Celtics dance team girls.

    Wait I just got really excited, did Brian finally get the recognition he needs and sign a shoe deal to go along with his world renown summer camp.
    I believe the shoe is called "the confusion" and they come in two colors, orginal and extreeme Brian.
    But no seriously, hes great with the intangibles.
