While he\u2019s having fun with wearing different sneakers, his choices both before and during games are clearly intentional. He remains the biggest basketball star unsigned with a sneaker brand, and if he wants to sign with an athletic wear brand again, he\u2019s using all the opportunities to test out a variety of shoes. <\/p>\n<p>More NBA on Sports Illustrated<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">dark.
