Most often, it&#8217;s performance or a paycheck that sways their decision. For Spurs center and sandwich lover Matt Bonner, it&#8217;s all about cold cuts and cash. According to Jeff McDonald of the <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mysanantonio.com\/spursnation\/2010\/11\/16\/good-times-rolling-for-spurs\/\" target=\"_blank\">San Antonio Express-News<\/a>, Bonner weighed heavily on which shoes to wear before a recent game, which resulted in a rather lighthearted story.<\/p>\n<p><em>Spurs center Matt Bonner sat at his locker before a recent game at the AT&amp;T Center, deep in thought and staring at his feet, as if contemplating some key piece of preparation for the night ahead.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Which, in a way, he was.<\/p>\n<p>?Which pair of shoes should I wear?? Bonner finally asked, holding aloft a pair of Converse and a pair of New Balance.<\/p>\n<p>Someone proposed he don one of each, a suggestion Bonner considered a few seconds before an eavesdropping teammate shattered the dream.<\/p>\n<p>A mismatched shoe selection would violate the NBA?s uniform dress code, Manu Ginobili interjected, and could cost Bonner $25,000 in fines.<\/p>\n<p>?Just think of how many sandwiches that is,? Ginobili said, referring to Bonner?s famously favorite form of sustenance.<\/p>\n<p>And so, for the next 10 minutes, the Spurs? starting guard and backup center set out to quantify exactly that.<\/p>\n<p>Estimating (conservatively, he says) 700 sandwiches per year at $5 a pop, Bonner ? concludes it would cost seven years? worth of hoagies to flout the NBA?s uniform rules for one night.<\/p>\n<p><em>?The punishment doesn?t fit the crime,? he sighed, as the rest of the room disintegrated into laughter.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/dimemag.com\/2010\/11\/matt-bonner-the-punishment-doesnt-fit-the-crime\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dime<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NBA players have a lot to consider when choosing which kicks to wear on the court.
