Adidas and AND1 outsell Reebok? Wow. I never would've guessed... ------------------ I use smilies and I LOL -- I'm your worst nightmare.
Neither would I DoD. I always thought that the shoe company hiearchy went like this: Nike - Jordan, Flightposite, Shox, Pippen, Barkley Reebok - Iverson, Francis Adidas - Kobe, Antoine Walker And1 - Latrell Spreewell Fila - Grant Hill Other ------------------ Francis out top, 9 seconds on the clock, he gives a no look pass to Cuttino Mobley, 4 seconds left, Mobley passes to an open Langhi in the corner with 1 second left! Langhi at the buzzer.......YES!!! How Sweet It Is!!
Shaq is with Dunk.com and Garnett and Duncan are with Nike. Duncan sports some Air Nike Defense or something and Garnett goes with the Air Flight Posite 2 AKA KG2. ------------------ Francis out top, 9 seconds on the clock, he gives a no look pass to Cuttino Mobley, 4 seconds left, Mobley passes to an open Langhi in the corner with 1 second left! Langhi at the buzzer.......YES!!! How Sweet It Is!!
Garnett changed his brand a couple weeks ago. Its pretty funny right after his Flightposite 2's (great shoes) came out he jumped over to And 1. ------------------ Ceo of the Walt Williams fan club. Web site coming soon atheistalliance.org
Yea I had heard about that Dean, but I didn't think he actually did it. That's weird though because he's been with Nike for a long time. BTW, I really like the KG2's and I'm prolly gonna get some for my B-day. I hear that their really good, even better than my first ones, but the only negative is that the zipper doesn't stay up. I'm waiting for the alien gold/crocodile green color to come out. That's the colorway I have for my first ones. ------------------ Francis out top, 9 seconds on the clock, he gives a no look pass to Cuttino Mobley, 4 seconds left, Mobley passes to an open Langhi in the corner with 1 second left!
