Haha i am on flow from adidas...have to be careful...

Adidas shoes are generally wide on the toe, narrow around the arch and snug at the heel, so depends on person. Big guys usually have to get wider made models, custom soles...

LOL there are/were thousands of pro athletes in the football/basketball and given there are only like 3-4 big brands that 90% of them wears...and lets say 5% of the players experience some time down with injury...I wouldnt be surprised you can find at least 10 semi-high profile athletes that gets sidelined while wearing ANY particular brand.
It just so happened Rose got injured now I guess....

Was Kobe with them when he got hurt last year or did he make the switch to Nike? I thought Kobe started with Addidas and then went to Nike, or do I have that switched up?

I think Kobe switched to Nike once the rape allegations surfaced.

Well, you can add that to the list. 'Wearing Adidas causes rape allegations.'

So if you wear Nike you won't ever get injured? It's got to be the shoes.

What a terrible article.

Garnett got hurt on a freak accident and then because hes old.

Before that he was becoming a top 25 player of all time.

Guess the shoes had nothing to do with the legend part right?

I mentioned this the first time Rose blew his knee.

The odds of getting badly injured when wearing Adidas is a lot higher than when wearing Nike.

nah man, concrete evidence right here that adidas ruins careers. i've never seen a more convincing article about anything in my entire life. don't wear them or your leg will snap in half - FACT.

Horrible article... However reminds me of a story a few years back a talking hoops with a high up Niketown employee and him saying the current MVP D-Rose will suffer some terrible things if he keeps wearing Adidas... Co-incidence? Or Aliens??
