    Is it just me... or do star players or players in general who are not wearing Nike shoes get seriously injured?

    Examples:

    Derrick Rose: Adidas

    Iman Shumpert: Adidas

    Yao Ming: Reebok (I knew this was a bad thing the day Yao signed with Reebok... I think Reebok should be banned from offering players contracts)

    T-Mac: Adidas (I knew something was fishy... yeah it had nothing to do with his feet, but any type of injury is and can always be related to something else in the body (his back)

    Dwight Howard: Adidas (I don't even know where to start...)

    Kevin Garnett: Adidas

    Chauncey Billups: Adidas

    Corey Magette: Adidas

    Wow... everyone has Adidas! So maybe we should just blame Adidas? I'm sure there are others I've left out, but these were the ones that came to mind right now.

    What do you all think about this? It's been bothering me since the Yao days!
