From Stephen Curry setting the Association on fire to Kentucky still reigning supreme, 2015 has already showcased its fair share of quality hoops action. However, for today&#8217;s All-Time Five we keep things collegiate as we explore the all-time sneaker lineup of the Arizona Wildcats. In the words of Jalen Rose, <em>positions are made for novice to follow<\/em>, as we elicit a &#8220;Mike D&#8217;Antoni&#8221; like lineup featuring an array of guards. To see more, flip trough the pages below to see the <strong>All-Time Five: Arizona Wildcats<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Before the NBA became filled with scoring guards, Gilbert Arenas was the poster-boy for dynamic guards with captivating stat lines. During his tenure in Washington, Arenas was known for his quirky actions and bonafide star power. While his attributes on the court gained him notoriety as well as\u00a0the largest contract in Wizards history, his sneaker repertoire throughout his career has gained our attention as\u00a0&#8220;Hibachi&#8221; garnered his own signature line from adidas with such models as the <strong>adidas TS Lightswitch Gil Agent Zero Basketball<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>However, as injuries and an unfortunate situation involving guns in the Wizards&#8217; locker room derailed his career and contract with adidas, Gilbert kept things intriguing on the sneaker-front as he has been seen in high-fashion models along with vibrant Air Jordan silhouettes.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p>Mike Bibby&#8217;s career arc is interesting for a variety of reasons, as his talented Sacramento Kings teams were unable to garner that ever-so elusive NBA title. While Bibby and company lacked the hardware on a\u00a0professional level, the former Arizona\u00a0guard was able to nab\u00a0a National Championship in 1997, while\u00a0being one of the &#8220;pioneers&#8221; in showcasing the Nike Foamposite line.<\/p>\n<p>Upon his arrival into the NBA, Bibby was a prominent Jordan Brand athlete throughout his career, as he&#8217;s been seen in a variety of Air Jordan and Team Jordan PE&#8221;s during his stops within the Association.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p>Plenty of readers may not remember Miles Simon due to his short stint within the NBA. However, Simon is a U of A legend as this former guard helped capture a national championship with Mike Bibby back in 1997. Rocking an array of Nike basketball silhouettes, Simon&#8217;s sneaker rotation has evolved plenty since his days on campus as\u00a0Simon caught up with George Kiel and Sid Ashford in this intriguing edition of Sneak Peek. Incorporating a variety of Nike Kobe models within his collection, this episode is a can&#8217;t miss.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p>Before the arrival\u00a0of Kemba Walker , Salim Stoudamire was <em>THE MAN<\/em> in college hoops in regards to sneakers. This silky south-paw from Portland, Oregon held his own during his tenure at the University of Arizona, helping lead the &#8216;cats to several NCAA tournament appearances. Cousins to\u00a0Damon Stoudamire and Terrance Jones, Salim incorporated a variety of Nike Basketball staples into his rotation. Such models included the <strong>Nike Huarache 2k4<\/strong> and <strong>2k5<\/strong>, as well as the <strong>Air Jordan 12<\/strong> and <strong>Air Jordan 17<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p>It seems as though Derrick Williams has found the perfect match in Sacramento as the start of his NBA career was rather rocky\u00a0as many would suggest.
