Nice look inside the blazers' locker room and lots of shoes if you are into shoes! [video=youtube;CtNJDR4Uo2Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtNJDR4Uo2Y&feature=youtu.be[/video] Edit: Thanks Wookee on showing how to embed the video!
I love that Robin made Wes an Iron Man shoe. The Blazers shoe guy reminds me a bit of Matthew McConaughey. He says "shoestrings" instead of shoelaces - is that a regional thing?
The amount of gear each player is given is absurd. I understand these are million dollar athletes, but come on. Different tights for practice, games, warmups, AND shootarounds?? That's excessive. They should ship off 75% of that stuff to third world countries that need clothes, not give 120 pairs of shoes to an athlete that makes $10 million a year. Just sayin..
I have a feeling you didn't play sports growing up. Sent from my Baller-Ass 5.5" iPhone 6+......... FAMS
I did actually. And I didn't need 120 pairs of shoes. Seriously, you can't excuse this excess. These guys don't need all this gear. It's a waste.
I actually found myself surprised at the amount of gear as well. I'm not saying what they should be doing instead, but it was eye opening at the amount of gear. I was even foolish enough to think that these guys were responsible for their own shoes before seeing the video. Thanks for posting, it was quite interesting.
they are all either paid money to wear the shoes, or given free shoes to wear the shoes. its a pretty standard endorsement/ sponsorship agreement i would assume.
The amount of gear does seem excessive, but also realize that these guys burn through that shit very quickly. The dude even mentions how often Wes tears his shoes. I can get at least a few months out of my bball kicks and I don't even play that much or that hard. When you play a few hours each day at full tilt, it's easy to see how often they need replacements.
