Go back and re-read your statement.

Ginoboli wears both.

A good basketball sneaker for the person is a good basketball sneaker.

Hell, Ty Lawson has always played in the Lebron's, but sometimes he plays in Soldiers or KD's.

So guard and big kicks is mostly a myth. It's individual preference.

Just like when Kobe first went to lows with the IV, even though Nash, Bibby and Derek Anderson wore lows, everyone was anti-low and saying you would hurt your ankle. Now half the league wears lows.

With a Lace Swap and a Lace Lock.  The lace is from the ASG 11 with the touch of the same blue and 3M

Which do you all like best?

I'm reppin not because I like it(I don't), but because I know it took a lot of effort to change laces

You always seem to be negative towards other people in this thread. I'm not trying to insult you or anything, but no need to be condescending.

Oh okay I see what your saying now :\

I do agree its all bout a persons preference

I don't think that generalizes it across the board to say it's a myth |I

I think a shoe can be tailored for a larger more powerful player vs a smaller quicker one

That doesn't mean someone can't wear whatever they like regardless of stature though

When I watch basketball, I still occasionally forget that the "little" guys on the court are still 6'3-6'6 195-225

Not exactly Muggsy Bogues

Your best bet is to probably just play this thread close until they pop up again on discount somewhere

 

[spiderjericho]

I've only got two Colorways so far: NRSL and HoL.

I'd like to make a Cleveland PE (red and yellow) and championship IDs.

Duncans are the only shoes I've owned that I really believe are for bigs

 

[redrum3281]

really wish i'd find the brown Duncan's for cheap or they'd retro them

 

[tigo0240]

Hyperposites are the closest thing to a "big" shoe we've seen in some time.



And I loved those

 

[domosirchazzo]

I never bought into any of that heavy shoe for big guys and light shoe for small guys talk.

Iverson played his entire career in bulky shoes and I would challenge anyone to name a player more agile and quicker.

Not to mention I've seen PF's in the league play in Kobe 8's

Idk this seems to be a myth created by the sneaker enthusiast.

Remember them being $50 around me. Tried to buy but they didn't have my size

Hoop in Duncan's then come talk

 

[thapointguy]

Yeah those Foam Max were heavy and stiff. Would be entertaining seeing a guard play in those in the NBA

How do you forget?

 

[barbarianbob]

How do you forget?

Because he's like 6'12" his damn self

 

[MoneyAmeer]

Total foampsite max Duncan joints are pretty hard to play in. No type of flex at all. Way stiffer than anything you can imagine, but cushion is A1

 

[tigo0240]

I'm only 6'3" 185...I'd be tiny on an NBA court.



I forget because it's all relative...when you're watching a game where there are 10 guys on the court and 7 of them are 6'7"+, it's easy to lose perspective. Michael Jordan looked tiny plenty of the time, and he's 3" taller than me. Derrick Rose looks like a ****** but he's my height.


IRL, I tower over most people. And when I come across a dude who's 6'8" or so it's like
