I guess the real point is that I haven't seen too many NBA guys recently who can really throw their hat into the ballboy or ballplayer ring. Props to NBA 2K18 MT Hornacek for pulling that off and getting buckets all the while. And props to ballboys everywhere, too.2. The Functional SneakerWhat, you may ask, is this "functional sneaker" that I'm referring to?
Well, many players wore it during the '90s, and basically, it's exactly what it sounds like: a quiet, effective piece of basketball footwear devoid of the Buy NBA Live Mobile Coins glitz and glamour of modern-day sneakers and instead defined by a simple and bare-bones approach to support and comfort. This picture of Joe Kleine's clean white Reebok shoe as he prepares to enter a game is a prime example. Just look at it.
No bells. No whistles. No horse and pony show. It's just a sneaker, folks, nothing more and nothing less. This is not about flash. This is not about pizazz. This is about arch-support, sturdy laces, and stop-on-a-dime-traction. That is what this is about! Slide in a Dr. Scholl's orthopedic insert, double-knot that bad boy, and play some ball! Yes, the '90s were innocent days, and the functional sneaker is a testament to that fact.1.
The High-Top Fade (With Side Details) The amazingness of this look requires absolutely no description, and I will not demean Kenny "Sky" Walker or anyone else who used to rock the high-top fade by trying to put it into words. Instead, I will make three general comments that relate to this picture. First, Sky Walker's final jam to win the 1989 Dunk Contest is a classic, and if you re-watch the clip, you will not only see the high-top fade in full-effect, but also, a striking example of disproportionately long spandex at http://www.nba18mt.com/
