dude...they're shoes for cryin' out loud

Michael Jordan's son, Marcus, is refusing to wear Adidas shoes when he plays basketball at the University of Central Florida. The school has a contract with Adidas, who supplies all their athletic shoes. Marcus says he'll only wear Nike Air Jordans, because the shoes hold special meaning for his family.

OK, they put food on your table and probably bought your car, but they're shoes for cryin' out loud. If they mean that much to you, go to a school that's sponsored by Nike. Don't go shitting all over your school's sponsorship parade over a pair of freaking shoes. Wear what they give you when you play and get over it. After the game, you can put on the shoes that mean so much to you and your family.
