In addition to their personal awards, NBA players have another thing that is particularly proud of, that is their sneakers. In recent years, people like Tucker and DeRozan have increasingly shown off what they call “shoe games.” They often post photos or make videos on Instagram.
Tuck is the NBA recognized king of sneakers. The Houston Rockets forward allegedly owns up to 5,000 pairs of shoes and has a separate loft in his house designed specifically for those shoes. Most of his teammates bowed down to his incredible collection.
Most people, but not everyone.
It looks like DeRozan is trying to take the throne from Tucker, who also owns his own sneaker store. The San Antonio Spurs defender told the Rockets burly man on Instagram: "When I play these balls, I'll let everyone see who is the real toe!" I just pretended to be cool. You have another post to show off, and I want to show off too. ”
Of course, the player who has won the NBA sneaker championship for a long time responded quickly. Tucker said: “Who can tell my brother Demar DeRozan if he wants to smoke? He knows more than anyone else where to find me. ”
31-year-old DeMar DeMar DeRozan also has a room full of sneakers. He loves collecting signature works by Michael Jordan, Penny Hardaway and his childhood idol Kobe Bryant. He says he fell in love with shoes when he first saw Kobe's "Crazy 8" in high school. During his time with the Toronto Raptors, DeRozan wore 15 different Jordan jerseys in the Raptors' first 15 games.
but until DeRozan Rozan proves his worth, and PJ Tucker remains the undisputed king of sneakers in the NBA. He owns hundreds of pairs of shoes known as "Holy Grails", the rarest shoes in the industry. In addition, there are countless stories about Tucker's obsession with shoes: he once wore six pairs of shoes in a game; his Js impressed MJ; he spent more than $30,000 on sneakers (and even spent $200,000 on sneakers in a year).
