[DTreats]

Basically if you aren't good enough to sign with Nike, then you're injury prone.

[crisoner]

[SpecialQue]

[eliteballer]

What do Dwight's shoes have to do with his back?:coleman:

[keepinitreal]

What do Dwight's shoes have to do with his back?:coleman:

Probably the same thing Greg Oden's Nike's have to do with his knees, lol

[KyrieTheFuture]

What do Dwight's shoes have to do with his back?:coleman:
Cushioning has a lot to do with back support actually but I'm not suggesting in this thread it's the shoes fault necessarily I just think it's crazy all their stars are injured (for whatever reason)

[Xiao Yao You]

Nike was blamed back in 86 when MJ and several others broke their feet. Made big changes I believe.

[gyu]

I remember Pistons medical staff or trainers banned Nike hyperizes or hyperdunks cuz they were bad on the feet.

[swi7ch]

Grant Hill also destroyed his career by wearing...

FILAs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:facepalm:facepalm:facepalm


FILA!!!!

:facepalm

Who the f*ck wears Fila? Can anyone name another athelte? :facepalm

There'a s reason Nike spends billions of dollar on their shoes' performance/research/etc. Guess what happened to Grant Hill after he stopped weraing Filas and wore Nikes?

[nathanjizzle]

nikes are good, they have patented air soles that prevent impact injurys and micro fractures. look at lebron.:bowdown:

[franchiez]

Thats crazy.

[kNicKz]

The shoes might have something to do with it, that list is huge

[d.bball.guy]

I think you can add T-Mac there.

[Mr Exlax]

I think you can add T-Mac there.

I was thinking it the whole time lol.

[nathanjizzle]

[KingMichael23]

Don't sign with Adidas. Sign with Nike and the Jordan Brand! :rockon:

[midatlantic09]

OP, you can add Jerryd Bayless to that list. He's with Adidas as well.

[kNicKz]

Garnett has his own flightposite with nike and is now signed with one of those Chinese brands

[Batz]

Clearly not alot of Hyperdunk wearers around here.

[nathanjizzle]

heres some info for you guys. ever since rose has started wearing adidas made extra light shoes, he has always been injured. starting last season in the playoffs where he began the playoffs wearing adidas crazylights, guess what he twisted his ankle twice against the pacers and was never the same through the playoffs. then this year he wore his adizeros for the whole season and look how that turned out. :facepalm

[CarlosBoozer]

Damn! I just bought Adidas adiZero rose 2.5 low tops! Now I'm going to get my ankle twisted soon :cry:

[franchiez]

I guess no more Adidas for me.

I'm not sure I'd say he injured his ankle due to wearing Fila's. He sprained that ankle (like you can in any shoe) then continued playing on that ankle throughout Detroit's first round playoff series in 2000, at which point he broke that ankle. This then led to a series of surgeries and perhaps most seriously, a case of MRSA, which apparently nearly killed him.

If it makes you feel better, Hakeem Olajuwon rocked Spalding and Glen Rice may have worn Warner Bros. at some point.

Amare's had his own sig shoes before his surgery in 2006.
