I'm surprised. He isn't very marketable. Ugly game that most people seem to dislike, ugly face, bad teeth and terrorist beard.
Nike should let him go, tbh

Wow. Harden is nice always has been since HS he is even better thn I thought but this kind of money is crazy. also LOL at the Khloe part of the story and the connection to Kanye ...Quote:

spurraider do you play basketball, tbh?..
edit::do you or have you ever played basketball?
New style adidas are not exactly a good shoe, imo..I'd cop old schools, though..
Right now the shoes that are great for durability and performance are Nikes followed by Jordans..
every post in this thread has been about image, marketability, advertising, etc... none about bballQuote:

i dont think durability matters at all for these guys. a lot of the stars get new shoes for every gameQuote:

I'd be pissed if I was Harden..he put up great numbers while improving his defense..the shoe that Nike itself put out for Harden is terrible..Quote:

I mean players themselves have been seen switching shoes at halftime to help with rhythm and whatnot. It definitely has an effect as far as balance and comfort go. In a sport like basketball, everything below the knees is very important to playing defense, post-ups, shot position, etc. it's not a massive stretch.Quote:

Wow, I'm more surprised reading that Nike gave up Curry for less than 4 million a year according to that article on page 18. I didn't realize they had a chance to match UA's offer. I thought Curry left Nike as a free agent.
The only stylish sneakers out there are MJs.
All the rest look just awful. They probably feel like crap, too.
I got myself a pair of Melos (http://www.footlocker.com/striperped...melo%20Anthony) because the company paid for it.
They are way over the top in terms of what I need because I rarely even ball anymore nowadays at my age, but I must say that they are as comfortable as they are ugly. Light, conforms to the shape of my feet.
And at the end of the day, I am glad I have a hand in feeding Melo's family, and Melo is fed well.
