Matt Bonner is the only NBA player wearing New Balance. He's signed to them now, but back in 2010, he actually bought these shoes that exploded on him, as he didn't have a shoe contract. And that was probably a smart move by NB to sign Bonner, because if he had jumped to Converse, Lord knows he would have had a few more public comments ripping into his old sneakers. More talk tomorrow about New Balance's sordid history trying to make and sell basketball shoes.
(UPDATE: More hilarity, as New Balance no longer sponsors Bonner, but he's still wearing them proudly. Man, oh, man.)
