    Well he can't really do much about it... IT IS his own shoe that he made with adidas.. isnt he by contract or something to wear it?

    Those aren't his Detroit shoes. His Detroit shoes were white, blue and red with "Mr. Big Shot "stitched around the ankle. Those are white, orange and blue with the same.

    I am sure they haven't had time to make him team appropriate shoes yet. By next week they will probably be the right colors.

    And thanks for the Billy Clyde story. I hadn't read that before.

    It doesn't matter, it's just shoes. Maybe he's too poor to buy new shoes and the Nuggets doesn't want to buy him shoes.

    No, I mean orange. Go look at KD's shoes on gettyimages and tell me that's red too. They are the same shade. that being said, this is really gay ,lol. No need to argue about what shoes Chauncey Billups is wearing

    He probably just didn't have enough to time to get Adidas to make his new ones.

    How can you say that? They're identical. What makes you think they're not the same shoes?

    Same model except the red is orange. Since it took Chauncey extra time to report for his physical, Adidas was able to make 6 pairs in a Nuggets colorway. Tip jar bet anyone?

    ...Wouldn't yellow (and a lighter blue) have been the better choice?

    ...maybe he was supposed to be traded to the Knicks.
