1. My Shoes - I had the fortune of being sponsored by New Balance for two glorious seasons. Here’s the problem: New Balance stopped sponsoring basketball players almost three years ago. So while the other two or three players in the NBA wearing New Balance switched to Nike or Adidas or British Knights, I was left in the proverbial shoebox. Nobody wanted me.
To this day, I am still wearing New Balance basketball sneakers I have left over from the “good old days”. I’m down to my last four or five pairs and have no clue what I’m going to do when they run out. I even called New Balance in the hopes that they would send me some more. They said no. I then scoured the internet and came up emptier than Leonardo Dicaprio at the Oscars. In a last ditch attempt, I found one pair in my size on E-Bay but they were purple. The scrutiny from Coach Pop wouldn’t be worth it... But they are soooooo comfortable! The point is, I am obviously the only person wearing New Balance basketball sneakers in the NBA, possibly the world. Apparently that’s NOT COOL.

New Balance really is the most comfortable shoe in the world, imo
I love Mattie but he sounds unclever and y here. You're lucky you get enough recognition to even be heckled, stfu, even if the blog is in jest. Why is he writing blogs when he could be working on defense?
At least the sandwich posts had some charm and cleverness to it.
Bonner is a funny guy, and a decent writer.
And as ugly as newbalance shoes are, they're still better than the trash that Nike puts out. The aesthetics of Nike shoes take a distant backseat to aggressive branding — more than any other shoe company.
Bonner has top bust out those purple shoes for the playoffs! It could be the missing piece he needs for greatness!
This almost brought a tear to my eye, then I realized he's just being stubborn. It can't be that hard to score a British Knights sponsorship. He's probably an arm-sleeve, a headband and/or some knee-high socks away from a British Knights deal. But he refuses to add a little swag to his game.So while the other two or three players in the NBA wearing New Balance switched to Nike or Adidas or British Knights, I was left in the proverbial shoebox.

the only thing i know is, they make good running/exercising shoes, but they look ugly...they are so bland yet they cost an arm n a leg to buy
Ha ha, MattyThe unassuming choker whom everyone likes to hate and hates to like.
Funny!
No doubt wearing NB seems like something senior citizens do, like buying Buicks and eating supper at Luby's Cafeteria at 4pm, but damn if they don't make the most comfortable shoes for running
