Top 15 Kicks Worn During Week 19 of NBA Season

March is here which means we are only a month and a half away from the end of the NBA regular season. Hopefully playoff time will equate to more new colorways from the top signature athletes across all brands. P.J. Tucker wore a shoe this past week that 99% no other player in the league has in their collection. Paul George made us all jealous of his alternate player exclusive versions of his Gatorade collection. The memorial for Kobe Bryant was held last Monday, 2/24, in remembrance of him and his daughter Gigi. Many NBA players, both past and present, showed up to the memorial. Even NBA players who had games that same day on the other side of the country made it a point to be in attendance at the memorial service.

Lebron pulled out a new P.E. colorway of his XVII’s in a high-profile matchup against Zion Williamson and the Pelicans. Russell Westbrook continues to push out the most creative color schemes on his new Zer0.3 model. Westbrook’s new colorway he rocked this past week is supposedly actually going to release to the public in April. Montrezl Harrell definitely has to have the most diverse collection of on-court shoes. You never know what Harrell is going to wear, from Nike, to Jordan, Adidas, Reebok, AND1, etc. Check our list below to see who made our Week 19 countdown.

SR – NBA Prime Time Preview: Houston Rockets at Boston Celtics

Game No. 59 for the third-seeded Boston Celtics takes place back in their humble abode of the TD Garden, as they return from their Western road trip against another Western foe in the Houston Rockets, live on ABC at 8:30 p.m. ET.

Houston got the upper hand the last time they faced these surging Celtics, who are on the mere cusp of overtaking the 2nd seed in the Eastern Conference, and for budding superstar Jayson Tatum, it was one night to forget. He scored only 15 points and couldn’t find the bottom of the net from deep with an exception only once that night, but as a result of that 11-point loss on the road to these small-ball Rockets, it may have been the exact kickstart to the Celtics’ stars storming out of the gates at the ending of the All-Star break.

One night later, Tatum found his groove again and dropped a career-high 41 points against the intimidating Los Angeles Clippers in one of the games of the year. Since then, the rest has been history as Tatum became only the second Celtic in franchise history to average over 30 points in a single month since Larry Bird. Some redemption is well-needed for a player of Tatum’s caliber, and though Kemba Walker has been out since the ending of the break, the Celtics have gone 2-1 in their other All-Star’s absence.

The Rockets are in 4th place in the West, 1 game behind the Los Angeles Clippers and 2 games ahead of the Thunder, who were plunked by 47 last night against the Milwaukee Bucks. Any game is an advantage in the West as the standings are still crowded in the middle of the Conference. Therefore, the Rockets need to keep winning to keep up with the Nuggets, Clippers, and Thunder if they want any chance at a deep playoff run that could presumably end in the conference finals if all ends well. They are 17-12 on the road and have won eight of their last 10 games. More importantly, they have won their last 5 games since the trade deadline and after acquiring Robert Covington while letting Clint Capela go to the Atlanta Hawks.

The Rockets, who are also 14-4 vs Eastern Conference teams, tip-off against the Celtics tonight in what is sure to be a barn burner on primetime for another edition of Saturday night hoops.
