Amir Johnson Has Shoes That Feature Amir Johnson’s Face
Raptors forward Amir Johnson debuted custom Nike Huarache 2K4s for Toronto’s home opener on Wednesday, complete with his own likeness prominently featured on the front of the shoe. It was a humorous and welcome touch. But if Amir Johnson of all players is privy to custom shoes that feature Amir Johnson’s face, does that mean we’re mere days away from NBA players ditching their Jordans in favor of shoes that feature a caricature of themselves? I sure as hell hope so, it’s just too bad cartoonish players like Robert Swift, Brian Scalabrine and Dikembe Mutombo are no longer playing in the NBA. [via The Basketball Jones]

NBA truly is a league of excess. Windhorst was talking about Lebron handing out pricey headphones to his teammates. They all have about 9 other high end headphones laying around at practice facility and home.

better/worse than the big euro soccer stars?
i think it’s cultural in regards to the sport. guaranteed oversized contracts lead to excess. NFL’ers who are conditioned to not leave proverbial bullets in the chamber spend like they’re dead when they’re retired.
baseball players? well…they’re just stupid.

also, charles oakley would probably wear crocodile and ostrich leather nike huraches.

Looks like someone else has thrown their hat in the ring for ombudsman!

I’d nominate WWoS for deputy ombudsman if he was around more often.

Yeah, Big time soccer players that play in Europe are the closest comparison you can make to NBA players. Some of the Brazilian soccer players are so damn irresponsible with their money and health.

Agreed.

Players and owners can argue about the validity of that claim all they want, but one thing is for certain, LOTS of owners still feel like Stern gave in way too easily on last year’s negotiation. Don’t be surprised if we see another lockout at end of current CBA. Lot of owners were perfectly fine with cancelling the whole season in order to get the exact deal they wanted. Stern pushed it through as it was going to be his final CBA negotiation.

I forget who it was, maybe Anelka, but someone had like a chrome plated Bentley I think. Great purchase.

The owners blew it. How could they not get a hard cap, franchise tag, and a reasonable reformed pay structure?
