It’s Gotta Be the Shoes
By Dave McMenamin
BOSTON, June 7, 2008 -- When Ronny Turiaf entered the league three years ago as a lowly second-round pick he approached Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant with a question. Instead of asking him, “Can I have your autograph?”, the request was more like, “Can I wear your signature?”
As in Bryant’s signature sneaker, the Nike Zoom Kobe.
“I asked him if I could wear them when I first got into the NBA and ever since then, I’m the first one to have them,” Turiaf said.
“It’s cool,” Turiaf added, before revealing that he gets his Kobe sneaker supply for free.
During Saturday’s shootaround, four of the Lakers - Pau Gasol, D.J. Mbenga, Vladimir Radmanovic and Turiaf - were wearing the Nike Hyperdunk, Kobe’s most recent signature shoe. Lamar Odom has also been known to wear the Hyperdunks from time to time. He told NBA.com/China’s Mo Wang prior to Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals, “I got my Kobes on, so I’m going to come out with that killer mentality, the shark mentality, to go out and try to put this team away tonight.”
Add in Bryant himself wearing the Nike Zoom Kobe III, and you have six of the 15 players on the roster wearing the same signature line of sneakers.
The Hyperdunk made news a couple months ago thanks to a clever viral video produced by Nike depicting Bryant slapping on the shoes, getting down into his defensive stance and leaping clear over an Aston Martin that is speeding right at him.
Turiaf is in the video as well, celebrating like a kid on Christmas morning after Kobe completes the special effects aided jump.
Asked about the video, Turiaf said, “It’s great.
“We always have a good time and that’s a side of Kobe Bryant that not many people get to know and realize. I think it was pretty fun to see him outside of a basketball setting and we definitely had a blast shooting the commercial.”
An NBA player wearing the shoe of another player is a sign of respect. Every year, dozens of NBA players wear Air Jordans not just because they like the sneaker, but because they want to be like Mike.
As if Bryant didn’t have enough Michael Jordan comparisons on his plate already, here’s another one: While Kobe has five teammates wearing his sneakers now, at least seven former Bulls – Randy Brown, Jud Buechler, Scott Burrell, Ron Harper, Toni Kukoc, Luc Longley and Scottie Pippen – wore the Air Jordans when MJ was in Chicago, and Phil Jackson would even lace them up in practice every once in a while.
Do the Lakers wear the Hyperdunks because they want to be like Kobe?
“Well, they all have an interest in jumping over cars,” Bryant joked. “It intrigues them, so they wear the shoes.”
Bryant then shifted to serious pitch man, “What we try to do is just make sure it's extremely comfortable for the other players that want to wear them,” he said. “We try to make the best shoe possible, best shoe on the market, then other players tend to enjoy them.”
It may seem trivial to tally the number of Lakers wearing their teammate’s shoe, but it’s a rarity in this league.
The Denver Nuggets’ feature two marquee names in Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony who both have their own signature shoe, only nobody else on the Nuggets besides A.I. wears his Reebok Answer XI Zune and there isn’t anybody on Denver’s roster that rocks the Air Jordan Melo M4 other than Melo.
LeBron James is the unquestioned leader of the Cleveland Cavaliers and one of the most exciting players in the league, but look at the footwear causing the squeaks on the Cavs’ practice court and you’ll only find one pair of Nike Zoom LeBron V’s – on James’ feet.
(Quick aside: At the 2006 NBA All-Star Saturday night in Houston, Steve Kerr was competing in the Haier (then RadioShack) Shooting Stars competition as the San Antonio “legend” along with Tony Parker of the Spurs and Kendra Wecker of the Silver Stars. Kerr forgot to pack sneakers for the trip and had to borrow his 13 year old son’s Zoom LeBron IIIs. When James saw Kerr wearing his sneakers he said, "Steve Kerr might not miss a shot today. Look at those shoes he got on." Turns out James was prophetic, as Kerr, Parker and Wecker went on to win the shoot out.)
That isn’t to say that Bryant is the only player in the league to have his teammates wear his shoe. The Washington Wizards’ Antonio Daniels and DeShawn Stevenson both wear Gilbert Arenas’ GilIIZero. After Kobe and Gilbert, however, you’d be hard pressed to find another player who has teammates who wears his shoes.
The pool of players in the league with signature shoes is shrinking. In the 1990’s it seemed liked every team had a player on it with his own shoe. Now the distinction is reserved for the top-tier stars like Dwyane Wade (Converse Wade 3.0), Tracy McGrady (adidas T-MAC 7), Chris Paul (Air Jordan CP), Amare Stoudemire (Nike Air Max STAT 360), Shaquille O’Neal (Dunkman), Yao Ming (Reebok Hexride Yao Ming) and Kevin Garnett (adidas Commander KG).
Speaking of Garnett, you won’t see anybody on the Celtics on Sunday during Game 2 wearing the Commander KG besides ... you know where this is going ... KG.
Mbenga told me that Bryant gives two pairs of his sneakers to all of his teammates whenever a new design comes out. The 7-footer decided to wear Kobe’s shoes during games rather than a heavier sneakers designed for big men simply because, “It’s comfortable.”

三年前, Ronny Turiaf 僅僅是第二輪被湖人選中的一名球員. 他一到隊上就跑去問了湖人當家球星Kobe Bryant一個問題. 他並不是問 "我可以要你的簽名嗎?" 而是 "我可以穿你的球鞋嗎?"
他指的就是Kobe的簽名球鞋系列: Nike Zoom Kobe.
Turiaf 說: "在我剛進NBA時我就問Kobe說能不能穿他的球鞋. 現在, 只要Kobe有新鞋我一定是第一個拿到它們."
Turiaf 覺的這樣 "很酷", 並且透漏了他拿這些鞋都免費.
在星期六的練習中, 四名湖人球員 - Pau Gasol, D.J. Mbenga, Vladimir Radmanovic and Turiaf - 都穿著Kobe最新的簽名鞋款, Nike Hyperdunk. Lamar Odom 有時候也會穿Hyperdunk打球. 他在西區冠軍賽第5場前告訴中國NBA的記者說: "我現在穿著我的Kobe鞋, 所以我會體現出Kobe的殺手意志, 鯊魚意志, 為的就是想辦法把對手打敗."
加上Kobe本人穿著他的ZKIII, 湖人隊上就有六個穿著同一個系列的球鞋.
Hyperdunk 在幾個月以前上了新聞, 托了Nike拍攝的一支短片的福. 影片中Kobe穿著Hyperdunk, 跳過了一輛向他快速開來的Aston Martin跑車.
Turiaf 也在那支影片中. 他在旁邊大喊大叫, 像是一個在聖誕節早晨裡的小孩.
問起那支影片, Turiaf 覺得他們拍得很棒. "我們每次都會玩得很開心. 很多人都不知道Kobe開心的一面. 我認為能在籃球場以外的環境裡看到他很有趣. 我們在拍攝那個廣告的時候也玩得很開心."
一名NBA球員穿著另一名球員的球鞋是對他們尊敬的象徵. 每年, 很多NBA球員都會穿著Air Jordan打球. 這不只是因為他們喜歡那雙鞋, 而是他們想要變得跟Jordan一樣厲害.
不是說Kobe跟Jordan的比較不夠多, 這又是另外一個比較: 現在Kobe有五名隊員穿著他的鞋打球. 以前至少有七名公牛隊的球員 - Randy Brown, Jud Buechler, Scott Burrell, Ron Harper, Toni Kukoc, Luc Longley and Scottie Pippen – 穿過Air Jordan打球. 有時候Phil Jackson也會在練習中穿穿Air Jordan.
湖人隊員穿Hyperdunk是為了讓自己更像Kobe嗎?
Bryant認為: "他們都有跳過車子的興趣. 他們被激發了, 所以都穿那雙鞋子(Hyperdunk)."
以嚴肅一點的態度, Kobe說: "我們(Nike)想要做的就是確保想要穿著它們的球員有一雙很舒適的球鞋. 我們想要做出最棒的一雙鞋, 在市場上最棒的一雙鞋, 這樣其他球員才會享受它們."
雖然統計湖人隊上穿著他們其他隊員的球鞋的人數有一點沒有意義, 可是在NBA裡這是很罕見的.
丹佛金塊隊上的兩名球星 - Allen Iverson 與 Carmelo Anthony - 都有自己的球鞋, 分別是 Reebok Answer XI Zune 與 Air Jordan Melo 4. 可是金塊隊上的球員都沒有穿這兩雙鞋, 而則是去穿其他的鞋款.
騎士隊的LeBron James 毫無疑問是他球隊的領袖, 同時也是全聯盟最讓人感到辛奮的球員之一, 可是看看騎士隊場上球員們的球鞋, 你也只會發現一雙 Nike Zoom LeBron V 而已.
(插話: 在2006年Houston舉辦的全明星賽周末上, 太陽隊總裁Steve Kerr以馬刺隊退休球員的身份參加了由Haier所舉辦的老球星與現任球星(大家應該都知道我在講什麼, 不太會翻譯) 的投球比賽. Kerr當時忘了帶球鞋, 所以只好穿他兒子的Zoom LeBron III出賽. James在看到Kerr穿他的球鞋以後, 大膽的說: "他今天應該會百投百中. 看看他穿的鞋你就知道了!" 看來James不是亂說的, 因為後來有Kerr的馬刺隊贏得了那場大賽.)
Kobe也不是NBA中唯一一名有隊友穿他球鞋的人. 巫師隊上的 Antonio Daniels 和 DeShawn Stevenson 都雙雙穿著 Gilbert Arenas 的 GilIIZero 打球. 可是除了Kobe 跟 Arenas以外, 應該找不到另一名有自己的隊友穿他的球鞋的球員.
在NBA裡, 有自己的球鞋的球員人數正在減少中. 在90年代裡, 每一隊好像都會有一名球員有他自己的簽名球鞋. 現在這種高等的榮耀只留給聯盟裡的一等球星, 像是 Dwyane Wade (Converse Wade 3.0), Tracy McGrady (adidas T-MAC 7), Chris Paul (Air Jordan CP), Amare Stoudemire (Nike Air Max STAT 360), Shaquille O’Neal (Dunkman), Yao Ming (Reebok Hexride Yao Ming) 與 Kevin Garnett (adidas Commander KG).
說起Garnett, 你在塞爾堤克隊上應該找不到認何人在NBA總冠軍賽第二場上穿著KG Commander, 除了..... KG以外.
Mbenga 跟我(作者)說每次只要有新的Kobe球鞋出來, Kobe都會發給隊上每人兩雙. 七尺的Mbenga 決定在比賽中穿著Kobe的球鞋, 而不是為了打禁區而設計的比較重的球鞋. 理由很簡單 - "他們很舒服."
文章就此告一段落了
希望大家還看得懂 (我真的翻的很爛) :kenlu_12:
