Kevin Garnett’s Kicks At Greatness
These are KG’s NBA Finals shoe. No, you can’t afford them, although, they are pretty sweet. If I bled green, I could, just maybe, go loony for 5 minutes and order me a set of these thousand dollar shoes ($1017.00). Yes, you saw that right. The 17 extra smacks represent Boston’s push for Championship #17. Despite the price, you know there are some “out-there” Celtic fans who are beyond geeked for these Finals. There will only be 8 of these produced for each game. Some rare touches in these Adidas: the KG profile, the Larry O’Brien, the embroidered game number.
Now, how long has KG been practicing in these bad boys? Are they the exact same mold as his regular Adidas kicks? Will they affect his play? This is what the hardcores want to know.

(UPDATE: Under 6-hours left and it’s still only at $78.00. I’m seriously considering getting this now. I mean imagine awarding this to next year’s Fantasy League champ? I’m surprised Simmons hasn’t placed a bid yet…)

Comments (2)“Umm … I Ok’d That?”
Did Steve Nash deserve to win a second straight MVP?
It’s a question that’s been debated in excruciating detail over the past few weeks:
No, Kobe carried a team of misfits to the playoffs … Yes, but Nash actually bettered his MVP stats from last year … Woah, LeBron put up Oscar-like numbers and 50 wins … So, Nash made everyone around him better … Hey, what about Chauncey? Best team in the L … Whatever, Dirk’s the real champ … Let’s not sleep on Timmy Duncan either … Oh, just fuck off with that last one …
Yeah, everyone you asked had a different opinion. And well, oddly enough, 9 times out of 10 they could usually back up their choice with some sort of valid support. No one was right, no one was wrong; it just came down to how you defined most valuable in Most Valuable Player.
Well, thanks to the NBA and Reebok, here’s one thing I think we can finally all agree on:
This Steve Nash MVP Shirt is fucking atrocious. Shit, this one too.
I mean, wow, talk about killer-cool graphics man! Seriously, what the hell are those? Why do they always make these shirts so “busy” lookin’? And better yet, why does this make Skeets me so mad? I have no idea.
Oh well, here’s some sweet t’s that deserve your g’s…
