PJ Tucker has always been a huge sneakerhead and he’s clearly the NBA Sneaker King. What gets lost in all the sneaker attention that PJ receives is his journey/grind. From his days at the University of Texas all the way to being on the Miami Heat this season. One thing that has always traveled with PJ Tucker is his heart, grind, and determination. PJ Tucker is one of the best defenders in the NBA and he’s been able to make a career out of it. If I’m starting an NBA team I would want a player like PJ Tucker on the team because I know he’s going to work hard and never cheat the game.

 

This season in Miami PJ Tucker averaged 7.6 PPG & 5.5 RPG but his impact goes beyond the stats. PJ Tucker has been a great addition to the Heat because he’s able to defend the best player on the other team every night. Another big thing that PJ has brought to the table was his improved corner 3-point shot. It seems like every time that Miami needs that big crucial shot in a game Jimmy Butler would draw and kick to that corner. PJ has been dependable his whole career and every coach knows what he brings to the game every night.

 

 

Now when it comes to PJ Tucker’s sneaker game I name him “The Cheat Code”. PJ has been able to get his hands on some of the most exclusive kicks that are hard to find. PJ Tucker has even had sneakers that players had made exclusively for them and PJ popped up with them. PJ Tucker’s sneaker collection is insane and he has almost everything you can think of. You can truly tell that PJ Tucker enjoys the hunt for finding sneakers and he wears his sneakers.

You can’t be the Sneaker King with a lot of deadstock sneakers he takes pride in rocking his heat. Being the equipment manager for PJ Tucker I’m sure has to be some serious work as much as he switches sneakers per quarter. Below are some kicks that PJ Tucker has rocked on the court during his career before this season because he has way too much heat for a Top 10 PE for 2021-2022.

SneakerReporter: WrestleMania Backlash 2022 (Preview/Predictions)

SneakerReporter: WrestleMania Backlash 2022 (Preview/Predictions)

Featured

by | May 8, 2022 | Featured, WWE

 

After what I thought was a great WrestleMania filled with some great matches. From the cast of Jackass helping Johnny Knoxville defeat Sami Zayne and Pat MacAfee’s great performance in his first match against Austin Theory. The highlight of that night was the amazing moments from Stone Cold Steve Austin during his match against Kevin Owens then the most nostalgic moment of the night was when Steve Austin’s glass shatters as Vince McMahon is in the ring and watching his smile just disappear.

Ending with a couple of beers between the two and a stone-cold stunner to Vince and hearing the fans roar. Definitely, a memory everyone who watched will remember as it may have been Steve Austin’s last match and in my opinion, a great way to go out. After that night it leads us to WrestleMania Backlash on May 8th, 2022 the first PPV since the greatest night in sports entertainment. Let’s preview some of the top matches for the night.

 

 

Charlotte Flair vs. Rhonda Rousey (I Quit” Match) Smackdown Women’s Champion

See the source image

 

Plenty of hate in this matchup that has built up since the return of Rhonda back in February. Many thought Rousey would have selected Becky Lynch for her opponent after winning the Royal Rumble but instead shocked the WWE Universe and selected to wrestle Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania. Rhonda coming back with some rust after some time off makes sense to select Charlotte who can make almost anyone look good in the ring.

Fans expected to see Rhonda win the title back but instead, Flair was able to retain her belt but the feud doesn’t end at WrestleMania as the two are ready to square off once again in the ring at Backlash in an (I Quit’ Match) where they will try to beat the hell out of each other until one can’t take anymore. The last time we saw a woman in this type of match involved Stephanie McMahon against her father Vince McMahon so it’s safe to say this is the first ever women’s (I Quit”) match in WWE history.

 

 

Prediction: Rhonda Rousey New Women’s Champion

 

 

Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollin

For weeks Seth Rollins was begging and begging for his moment at WrestleMania. Going out to the ring every Monday night asking for a match but each night he was unsuccessful until finally in Vince McMahon’s office the CEO of WWE granted him his wish and gave him his moment but against a surprise pick by Vince that would not be announced until the start of the match. WWE Universe already had their pick set on Cody The American Nightmare Rhodes to return and they got what they wanted. Cody came back to WWE on the greatest stage of the year and did not disappoint. Putting on a great performance and took home the victory on his first night back.

The fans were happy and enjoyed seeing Rhodes win but not so much Seth Rollins. On the first Monday night raw after WrestleMania Cody comes out to an amazing crowd full of cheers looking to see who his next opponent would be but that was cut short when Seth’s music hit and he walked into the ring. Seth Rollins said they have unfinished business before Cody can move on to his next opponent so Seth challenged Cody to another match at WrestleMania Backlash. They put on one of the best matches at WrestleMania and don’t expect any less in their rematch.

 

 

Prediction: Cody Rhodes Wins 

 

 

The Bloodline VS. RK-BRO & Drew McIntyre

See the source image

 

No title match at Backlash for Roman Reigns as he will be a part of a six-man tag match. Shortly after Reigns took home both titles home at WrestleMania The Usos feel like maybe they can hold two titles as well recently calling out the Raw Tag Team Champs RK-BRO. There have been plenty of words said or altercations on both Raw and Smackdown as of late. One night the RK-BROS get the best of The Usos and the next night The Usos return with their own retaliation. There has been great back in forth between the two teams to lead up to be possibly the best match of the night.

Roman and McIntyre were added to the six-man tag match after a brawl broke out on Smackdown during the unification contract signing. There is some history between Roman and Drew including their last match at the 2020 Survivor Series where Roman came out with the win that night. Now Drew wants his rematch but this time wants to take the belts from Roman. Not sure if this is what the WWE Universe wants as the next opponent for Roman but it’s well deserved for Drew after Backlash.

 

 

Prediction: RKO-BRO & Drew McIntyre Win

 

Other notable matches that are on the card are listed below. Only one title defense at Backlash

 

AJ Styles vs. Edge (Damien Priest Ringside) – Edge Wins

 

 

Bobby Lashley vs. Omos – Omos Wins

 

 

Happy Corbin vs. Madcap Moss – Madcap Moss Wins

Devin Booker, Phoenix Suns (SneakerReporter Top 10 PEs Series)

Devin Booker, Phoenix Suns (SneakerReporter Top 10 PEs Series)

by | May 2, 2022 | Featured, NBA, SneakerReporter Top 10 PE Series

 

Devin Booker’s one of the most lethal shooters that the NBA has seen in quite some time. Devin Booker idolized everything about Kobe Bryant and Booker showcases that Mamba Mentality every night on the court. A switch turned on for Devin Booker in the NBA Bubble and he hasn’t looked back at all.

Last season Booker accompanied by Chris Paul was able to bring the Phoenix Suns to the NBA Finals against Milwaukee. Even though the Bucks didn’t come out of the Finals victorious Devin Booker took it as a challenge to do every and anything to get his team back into the same position in the 2021-2022 season.

 

 

Well in the 2021-2022 season all Devin Booker and the Suns did was come out strong to have the best record in the whole NBA (64-18). Devin Booker has continued to improve his game and play at an elite level. This season Devin Booker averaged 26.8 PPG, 5.0 REB, and 4.8 AST in 68 games. D-Book was able to show people that he has what it takes to “Be Legendary” just like Kobe told Devin Booker back in 2016. Booker even got “Be Legnady” tattooed on his arm to honor Kobe Bryant as well. Devin Booker has rocked nothing but Kobe’s and has one of the best Kobe Bryant sneaker collections among NBA players. This season Devin Booker rocked the Nike Kobe 4, 5, and 6 on the court. Below we will be highlighting some of the dope PEs that Booker wore this season.

 

 

 

 

Below are the Honorable Mentions that didn’t make the Player Exclusive cut because they were released to the public. Devin Booker has been one of the players that Nike makes sure gets the Mamba Mentality treatment through the Kobe Line. Nike released Kobes/AF1 in PHX or Devin Booker colorways and blessed the public with a chance to grab them.
