Hooping in literally\u00a0any shoe he owns<\/a>, like the Off-White x Air Jordan 1<\/a>, Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker<\/strong> is the viewed by many as the Sneaker King of the NBA. In fact, Tucker’s sneaker collection is so unique and amazing that the normally quiet Kawhi Leonard once couldn’t stop talking to him about his kicks during a game.<\/p>\n

That’s right, Leonard was once talking Tucker’s ear off about his Nike Air Foampsite One “Phoenix Suns”<\/strong><\/a> in the middle of a game.<\/p>\n

From Bleacher Report’s Alex Wong<\/a>:<\/p>\n

One of Tucker’s favorite memories came during the 2012-13 season, when as a member of the Phoenix Suns, he played against Kawhi Leonard and the\u00a0San Antonio Spurs. Tucker doesn’t remember exactly what he wore that game\u2014although\u00a0research suggests\u00a0it was the Air Foamposite One “Phoenix Suns,” even though Tucker thinks it was the Air Foamposite One “Galaxy,”\u2014but he remembers Leonard’s reaction clearly.<\/p>\n

“Kawhi was like, ‘Dawg, where’d you even get those?'” Tucker said. “He kept asking me, ‘Like seriously, where’d you get those?’ Kawhi doesn’t ever talk, so it was funny to hear him say something.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If Tucker can’t get the usually silent Leonard to pester him about his shoes, there shouldn’t be any arguments about his claim to the NBA’s sneaker king throne.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
