For the NBA Finals, Dright Howard will be sporting a new pair of shoes from Adidas. Check out the details and pics below. Sick sick sick. Apparently, even the big men in the league need to lose a little weight, in the shoes I mean. The man-child will be rockin a pair of shoes that are 6 ounces lighter than the shoes he wore in the regular season. Please don’t tell me that he’ll be able to jump even higher. That might lead to the Lakers requesting that the rim be raised to 13 feet. That way hopefully he won’t dunk every trip down the court. But then again, you never know with this guy. He’ll figure out a way to dunk just about anything.
