This has been a summer of firsts for former first round pick Rashad McCants<\/strong>. The former Timberwolves guard was selected No. 1 overall by Team Trilogy in the inaugural draft for Ice Cube\u2019s BIG3 league and McCants also became the first professional player other than Lonzo Ball to wear the Big Baller Brand ZO2s<\/strong> — the signature sneaker of the Los Angeles Lakers rookie.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be wearing the ZO2s,\u201d McCants told Snkrs Day back in June<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m a big supporter of entrepreneurship in my own community so the moment they launched their own brand it was a no brainer to support them. I also wanted to be the first professional athlete to wear them, so come June 25th if the shoe is here I\u2019ll definitely be wearing them. If not, I have a decision to make between a couple shoes like the PG1s and some vintage Kobes that I\u2019ll shock the world with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for McCants, the ZO2s were not available on June 25th as they will only be shipping out in November. With the sneakers simply not being available, McCants has been playing in the Air Jordan 17+ Retro for the entirety of the BIG3. However, McCants personally received a pair of the ZO2s from LaVar Ball when the BIG3 was in Los Angeles on August 14.<\/p>\n
