PrintAt about a 90-10 clip GSoMers are rooting hard for the 2009 Eastern Conference Champion Orlando Magic and old friends Mickael Pietrus, Adonal Foyle, and Rafer Alston in The Disney Finals.
But that's not the biggest subplot of the 2009 NBA Finals for true sneaker freaks such as myself. Word out of Orlando [Orlando Sentinel] via BDL is that MP2 won't be wearing the Nike Kobe's (this year's edition are by far the best to date by the way) he's been sporting this season as he faces off against Kobe Bryant and LA Lakers. Instead he'll be sporting some Air Jordans. Back when Michael Jordan was dominating the league, word had it that he'd talk such smack as "Don't embarrass my shoes" to any opponent wearing his signature kicks. I can imagine Kobe saying something to that effect too, so I applaud Mickael's decision here.
"Is it the shoes?"
Yes Mickael!
Jump like Mike for my Fav 5 Nike Air Jordans and rock the vote to help Pietrus pick his kicks for Game 1.
AB1's Fav 5 Nike Air Jordans (in no particular order)

Fresh enough for The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
3. Nike Air Jordan X: 1994-95 [Nice Kicks | Sneaker News]

When MJ wore these he lost to guess who in the Eastern Conference Finals?
4. Nike Air Jordan XI: 1995-1996 [Nice Kicks | Sneaker News]

The patent leather is still hot 15 years later.
5. Nike Air Jordan XX3 [Nice Kicks | Sneaker News]

The last numbered Air Jordans.
Honestly you can't go wrong with any of these kicks, but what's your Fav 5 Nike Air Jordan list?

Although i would think...
if Orlando becomes the victor of all this…
It be a much sweeter defeat if My-Kail Pietrus could brag:
“Ya. i kicked the Lakes’ arses and Kobe with his very own shoes. Punk.”

um..
he should rock the jordan 2s. they had a blue black and white one back in 05. i had a pair of lowtops in those colors and they were f’ing awesome.
they should bring it back.
white laces instead of baby blue.
i miss them D:
so many possibilities
i heard he has every pair so i’m guessing he goes with stealth 5s or space jams.
The Eights
cant top dat design on the bottom or the felt Jordan patch
Monta Ellis is now unaVOIDable
the elevens are the only logical choice
close the poll!
On 5/7, the best part of waking is up LOLDGERS in my cup.
Just because
Rafer Alston tried out for the Warriors doesnt really make him a former Warrior or an old friend, if it wasnt Skip to my Lou would you continue to keep acting like he played 6 years with the Warriors? And oh yea, the 11’s are so clean. Sport those air france
well
he should rocks the flint XIII. I know he still have it in his closest.

WTF?
Wear the ones that work the best ! It’s about grip, not style. If the Kobe’s happen to work best just spray paint them with primer or dayglo orange if that is more appealing.
Now wheres the rubbers? Whose got the rubbers?
I noticed there's so many of them
and there's really not that many of us.

it’s all about style.
Haha, we’re not talkin Paris Hilton here, we’re talking basketball.

I love the paten (could have spelled that wrong) Air Jordans ...
I remember by buddy used to rock them and I wanted to steal them pretty bad (same shoe size and all!) hahaha!

the Jordan XI are the most comfortable to me
and they are also the best to hoop in
We be doin' it CROOKLYN style!!!!!
idk
the best J’s to hoop is the XIII. The XI are too nice to hoop, but i prefer the XIII since it’s the most comfortable of all J’s. And I owns almost all the J except the IX and X that it.
