Poll question: Favorite Basketball Shoes
The ones you KNEW made you play better, jump higher, shoot more accurately, maximize your dunk potential.

That was my shoe of choice in High School.

2. What about the pumps
Man I figured I could have flown wearing those things. Looking back it's laughable, but that's what it's all about.

3. Puma Clydes
They turned me into a 6-4 Hall of Fame shooting guard who had all of New York City eating out of his hand back in the 1970's.

And then I would wake up in the morning.

6. How come Cool Clyde Frazier is so cool?
Because of all his FANS!

I seem to remember a series of cartoon magazine ads for the Converse All-Stars with Dr. J, Rick Barry in them. Can't remember whether Magic and Bird made it into these.
