why won't UNC's Harrison Barnes wear Jordans on the court?

[spoonmanofthehour]

Barnes doesn't deserve to wear Jordan's because he only plays half of the time.

this makes perfect sense.

I thought North Carolina lost the game because they didn't play any d. In reality, Carolina lost because Zeller was not wearing Jordans . Makes perfect sense now.

^^ I thought we were talking about Barnes.

 

[jayvee1220]

could it be that he's superstitious? many athletes are.

I'm a frontcourt player in all I hoop in are Kobes....

Its not about whether u r allowed to wearLow cuts as a forward or center, its up to Every player. However, i always play in midsAnd also tight them well up.And even when i twisted my ankleDuring dribnling, i was saved by having agood ankle support without injury.Otherwise all basketball shoesWould be lowcuts because they allowMore flexibility for the wearer and also are lighterDue to less material.

ive messed up my ankle tons of times in mids.

ever since i swtiched to lows a few years ago, not a single injury

plus i would never wear jordans on the hardwood, Kobes>>>> any other shoe

As if jordans would not be made for the hardwood

I still play in old school jordans and other basketballShoes, despite they are heavier. The only thing thatMatters is good traction, stability and snug fit.I still rather play in some aj 3 than in someHyperflights.

Call him and ask him because nobody here knows or cares.

get fit.

He didn't change after Jordan told him to his face

He's the man, he can wear what he wants

 

[onemandeep]

be happy he cares more about his game, than how he looks rockin Js on the court

 

[btdpu]

because he sells his Jordans, especially those 2012s. (I am joking for those that can't read through this...)

 

[10 piece nuggets]

Maybe cause he didnt want to wear the 2012's cause its ugly as *%#@$. The absolute worst model JB has ever come out with.

This. Plus I do feel like Nike Basketball and other Sig shoes are built better for playing basketball....it seems like every shoe that is made within the four Jordan walls in Oregon start with how the shoe is going to look on someone's foot as oppose to how will this shoe perform first and foremost...

 

[leoman3000]

haha mj catching feelings.

 

[thejrob]

Gotta wear what's comfortable. And to be honest, there's no way I'd be ballin in any of the recent retros when Nike is definitely putting out better performance products...

Smart man.

jordans suck to hoop in even og's kobe vi's are one of the lightest and best hoop shoes

Idk about OG's sucking to hoop in especially the XIII and XI those were heaven on feet. Barnes made the right choice hooping in Kobe VI's, those shoes are so light and comfortable its crazy. No ankle support at all though.

What are retro Kobe VI's?

Twenty two more useless post and you'll be up to 300, but hopefully you'll be banned before then.
