It seems like it was just a few weeks ago that NBA fans were seriously worried about a complete cancellation of basketball this season, but a sudden and fortuitous turn of events resulted in a shortened 66-game season. Now, Nike’s signature and marquee athletes prepare to go for the Larry O’Brien gold as LeBron James of the Miami Heat, Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers, Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder, and Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics navigate their respective teams – and right now it looks like these stars are headed for a crash collision. This Saturday marks the beginning of the 2012 NBA Playoffs, and you’ll see Kobe and LeBron wear their respective Elite gear, while Nike could have something special in store for Durant and Pierce. Your pre-Playoffs predictions for the Finals? Let us know in the comments below.

The NBA headlines continued over the last two days, as some major milestones were reached by two of the greatest players of this generation. Both Kobe Bryant and Paul Pierce moved up on their team’s respective all-time scoring list this week, further padding their Hall Of Fame resumes with impressive marks. The Jeremy Lin show continued in New York City as the Harvard grad continued to show the promise he first displayed in the 2010 Summer League games, while Kevin Durant and the Thunder stopped a magnanimous effort by Monta Ellis, who dropped 48 points in a loss. Check out a full visual recap of the games below and stick with Sneaker News for more NBA Feet coverage throughout the rest of the season! via Yahoo!

Rajon Rondo hosted a special charity basketball exhibition game at Harvard University this past Saturday, bringing together a number of Boston Celtics players that were members of the 2008 Championship team. Rondo was joined by teammates Paul Pierce, Marquis Daniels, and Jeff Green as well as former Celtics Nate Robinson, Kendrick Perkins, and Leon Powe. During the Charity Game, a few notable sneakers were spotted on court, like Nate Robinson’s Black/Cement III, Rajon Rondo’s Hyperfuse 2011, Powe’s Jordan 6-17-23, and one of the more infrequent Feet sightings – the Air Jordan VII ‘Flint’ (a 2006 release). Check out the extra shots below and stay tuned to Sneaker News for more NBA Lockout Feet action! via thecrimson.

Did Paul Pierce even know that he would dominate the age 6-13 demographic? According to teammate Kevin Garnett, ‘Anything is possible’. The Nike Air Legacy series, Paul Pierce’s signature shoe, has been exclusive to kids sizes for as long as we can remember. Why such an exclusivity exists is confusing, but it’s clear that Pierce, while one of the best small forwards of our generations, doesn’t have that range of marketability that Nike’s current Big Three have. So, technically, Pierce is one of four Nike Basketball athletes with his own signature shoe line – just ask your kid brother about ‘em. The all-new Air Legacy 3 in the ‘Away’ Celtics colorway just hit stores, so grab them at overseas retailer Afew, or on our side at Nikestore.
