Mickael Pietrus Dropping "Kobe's Shoes" in Favor of Michael's
Jun 03, 2009 | Comments 27
According to ESPN and The Sentinel, Mickael Pietrus is dropping "Kobe's shoes" in favor of Michael Jordan's Air Jordans. Throughout the year and during the playoffs, Pietrus has been rocking the Nike Hyperdunk, a sneaker that was heavily backed by Kobe until he received his own Nike Zoom Kobe IV. Now that Pietrus will have the task of attempting to stop Kobe, like he did with LeBron James during the Cavs series, he is dropping his Kobe backed Nike Hyperdunks for Air Jordans, hoping that his Js will help him stop Kobe. Pietrus did acknowledge the fact that no matter what kix he wears, stopping Kobe isn't going to be easy saying, "The only thing I can do is try to minimize his touches in the fourth quarter," Pietrus said, according to the Sentinel. "He's a tremendous player and those guys you can not stop them. So maybe I can say, 'Hey, stop, Kobe! Yo! Stop!' Maybe that's the only way I can stop him. 'Stop for a minute!".
So now we have to ask. Which Jordans should Pietrus rock?
-and-
Who is taking this series and in how many games?

Can JB see this and send Pietrus some PE's. I dont think I have ever seen a PE JB brand shoe on any Magic player ever! That would make the series that more interesting. Come on JB you dont have anyone in the Finals to represent anyway!!
It would be HOT if JB gave him a pair of those Orlando 7s that are dropping! Don't matter tho! Lakers in 6!
1st nick anderson used to rock js. anyone remember the orland Xs? i hope lakers rap it up asap but it is going to be tuff!
Penny used to wear orlando IXs too...but since then Orlando players have never wore Jordans and i cant wait to see what he wears (maybe the Orlando Magic VIIs that are expected to release)
Everyone is sleeping on the Magic. Magic in 6. MP should rock Space Jams for away games.
The Lakers win the series in 6 games
XIII in orlando colorway.
anyway, here's how it's going down:
game, winner
1. Lakers
2. Lakers
3. Orlando
4. Lakers
5. Lakers
**** you
This dude need to stop...
Yessir ! My man Mike reppin' for all the french sneaker heads ! Magics in 6 & Mike rockin' some PE 23s !
Its goin' 7. IDK who will take it but P should roc the #6s
"like he did with LeBron James during the Cavs series"
yes the cavs lost, but i dont think anybody stopped Lebron James. especially not somebody coming off the bench like Pietrus. The people who got stopped were the other 4 people on the Cavs squad, especially playoff choke of 09 Mo Williams.
Well, since the finals aren't about looking fresh, but instead are about winning. I will get him a pair of 2009, due to the performance aspect. If Pietrus and Orlando were to pull this upset off, then I would say that he should celebrate in those Orlando 7's, but then again...that whole package is about the teams that MJ killed/Made 60+ points on. That would be an oxymoron at that point. Hey, MJ...I have a better idea. Get him some special 2009's to play in and his own pair of custom-made and customer tailored Jordans, since he put your name in the Finals game! Show the boy some love Jordan Brand!!!
All y'all some haters! Magic is takin' the crown. I definitely think JB should hook him up with some exclusive p.e.'s. Pietrus will do his thing. Watch out for 'em. The lakers will self-destruct! Remember where u heard it 1st.
Pietrus was a on the Jordan Brand team last year and 3 years before that but got dropped. He'll probably buy his own J's for this series. He's a bum! Just for that, Kobe will give him 40 at least 2 games.
air jordan 5 white/royal blu
LAKERS IN 5 OR 6 MVP FINALS IS KB24
PIETRUS SHOULD ROCK SOME SPACE JAMS...OR THE TRUE BLUES 3...
true blue III's would shut everything down or white/royal blue V's
No matter what he wears, he is getting spanked. Kobe is gonna BLack Mamba Sick his A$$. Lakers in 5
He's not worthy of rockin J's!!!!so stop it......oh and the Lakers in 4!!!!!!!........sweep'em back 2 orlandhoe!!!!!
a PE Like the olympic 2000 VI'S!!!! but a Orlando Magic Blue..Orlando in 6 and Kobe go home again empty...
jordans shouldnt be called basketball sneakers anymore
Look He Gonna Get Thoz Royal Blu 16'z& Mr.Battier iz da onli guy inda NBA Dat can Prevent Kobe from doin Hiz thing and understand u cannot win a NBA Ring without a big man nowadayz so watch Dwight Lewis & Tukaglue kill dem in 6 u will see....
maybe the aqua XIIIs
Kobe is going to shred Pietrus no matter what damn snaekers he wears. Kobe can not be stopped and there's nothing more to it.
na he sucks ####s
True blue 3's Cuz it would be too predictable to wear da 7's. Besides that's the real way to get bacc at Kobe cuz he wore TB 3's a few seasons ago too! It's gonna take more than a pair of J's for them to beat L.A.
