The NBA trade deadline has come and gone and the All-Star break is right around the corner. Some teams traded superstars while others dumped theirs in favor of future draft picks. Andrew Wiggins looks to be a good addition to the Warriors as he no longer has to carry the load of being the biggest “Superstar” on his team. Once the Warriors are back healthy, look for Wiggins, along with Steph and Klay, to once again be a formidable force in the Western Conference. The Clippers got even deeper with the acquisition of “3 & D” guy, Marcus Morris. The Western Conference is shaping up to be a battle between the two Los Angeles teams.

P.J. Tucker must’ve looked at the last few weeks of our Top 15 Countdown because he came back stronger than ever in week 16. Tucker had to remind people who the sneaker champ of the NBA is. Once again, players continue to pay tribute to Kobe, with a select few rocking customs done by top-tier Instagram sneaker artists. Lebron James has been sporting his 17th signature sneaker the majority of the season, however he still sprinkles in a few of his fan-favorite Lebron 15’s here and there. James Harden threw everyone a curveball with the way he paid tribute to Kobe in what was somewhat of a loophole for him. Harden wore some Reebok Questions in a game which he technically is allowed to do since Adidas owns Reebok. Similarly to how Nike athletes can be seen wearing Converse Chuck Taylors due to Nike owning Converse. Look below to check out Week 16’s Top 15 Kicks Worn on Court.
