While his sneaker line is not the most coveted, it is a testament to a man that heard the cries of others and answered with an affordable alternative. His <strong>Spalding<\/strong> signature shoes made all walks of life smile while his play in them made opponents frown. During his 1994-96 NBA championship run, Hakeem had a Kobe-like stint that included a 47 point highlight reel win over the San Antonio Spurs.
