When an NBA Finals features LeBron James as well as the team that Kobe Bryant (R.I.P.) played for, you know you can expect most of the countdown to consist of Nike LeBrons and Kobes. Anthony Davis catapulted himself into the Kobe 5 Protro spotloight this past week. The Laker forward donned new colorways of the Mamba’s fifth signature sneaker, one in particular that could very well rival Iguodala’s pair from last week’s list. We haven’t seen a custom sneaker make our Kicks Through the Lens in quite some time, but a Miami Heat player changed that while sporting an eye-catching iteration of the Nike Zoom Freak 2’s. LeBron James stays steady in his rotation, sticking with either the 17’s or 7’s once again. Will we see him rock a pair of his new 18’s during these Finals, or will he save his new model for the 2020-21 season?

The Miami Heat made this series interesting on Sunday night, making the bout a 2-1 advantage Lakers. Jimmy Butler truly showed why he is one of the top players in the entire league. Anthony Davis was in foul trouble throughout Game 3 and L.A.’s offense was lackluster at best. Young players such as Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson of the Miami Heat are showing just how valuable shooting is in today’s NBA. Tonight’s Game 4 holds huge implications as Los Angeles can go up 3-1 or Miami can even things at two games a piece.
