Chris "Birdman" Andersen New Pro Leather 2k11 PE

Recently Chris Andersen took flight in a more Nuggets appropriate colorway of the Converse Pro Leather 2k11.  Check him out below in flight, I know this because I can see the wings tattooed on his arms!

Finally NBA is here and with that comes a first look at Chris Andersen's Pro Leather 2k11.  I am not really sure what happened with the blue, it doesn't really match the Nuggets at all.  Hopefully by the time the season actually starts they will have this corrected.   If he played for the Warriors these would be perfect though.

Converse in the NBA Playoffs

If you've been following this blog you'll know that Converse increased their roster of the NBA players this year. While the roster might not seem that exciting to the casual basketball fan, what is exciting is that the roster actually grew. With at least 13 different players wearing Converse at some point this season it was one of the largest rosters the company has had in quite a number of years. Previous to Converse filing chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2001 there were around 22 NBA players.


Assuming there is an NBA season next year I would hope if nothing else this roster would increase in size, and hopefully talent and notoriety. Only time will tell, until then we have a few Converse players to watch out for in the Playoffs.


Check out Elton Brand, Louis Williams, Kirk Hinrich, Chris Andersen, Kyle Korver, and J. J. Barea.  Carlos Arroyo and Udonis Haslem are both listed as inactive.
