Converse in the NBA

Here are a few pictures of Converse players in the NBA.  Unfortunately Acie Law was released by the Grizzles and I'm not sure if Chris Anderson has signed with Converse or not.  He wore Nike the next game and injured his back so I guess time will tell.  Enjoy

So there you  have it, 12 different NBA players wearing Converse at some point this Season.  Hopefully Acie Law can sign somewhere else before too long...The Knicks perhaps?  Anyway, stay locked on TheConverseBlog.NET for all of your Converse bloggy goodness.  Thanks for checking out the page and don't forget to follow along on Twitter @TheConverseBlog

Team Converse continues to Grow...Matt Bonner, Louis Williams, & Larry Sanders

Earlier in the summer we learned about Carlos Arroyo signing with Converse, but they weren't finished there.  Converse has also added Matt "The Red Rocket" Bonner from the San Antonio Spurs.  Bonner was drafted out of Florida in the 2003 Draft by the Bulls and was traded to the Raptors.  Later Bonner was traded to the Spurs where he has been playing since 2006-07.  You can see him below at media day and a preseason game rocking the Converse Team Assist. 

Converse also added Louis Williams from the Philadelphia 76ers.   Williams was drafted in 2nd round the 2005 draft by the 76ers straight out of high school.  Williams had career highs in nearly all statistical categories last season.  You can see him below rocking a Player Exclusive colorway of the Converse SICKS.  

Early in the summer there was some pretty solid speculation that Converse had signed Larry Sanders, their first rookie signing in many years.   Sanders was drafted with the 15th pick by the Bucks.  He was star at Virginia Commonwealth aka VCU, maybe he can help to get them to wear Converse someday.  Below Sanders is wearing the Converse Star Player EVO during the Bucks media day.

 It's very exciting to see Converse finally grow their roster of NBA players, which had actually been decreasing in recent years.  There might be some other new additions to team Converse, but I haven't seen them yet.  If you see anyone else new, hit me up and let me know.  Thanks for checking out the blog.  As always you can follow along on Twitter @TheConverseBlog

LeBron James in Converse!

I didn't get around to doing a Friday Flashback post yesterday.  By the time I got home from school I was having a busting headache that I needed to stop so that I could enjoy the Alan Jackson concert I was going to later.  With a heavy dose of meds and some head-on I was able to enjoy the concert without much discomfort, except from the lady that kept screaming as loud as she could right next to me.   Needless to say, I was taking it easy after a long day of dealing with 5th graders.

You know else was taking it easy the other day?  Yes you do, you clicked on this page and saw the title of today's post.  LeBron James was taking it easy and for the first time ever I actually enjoyed seeing him on TV.  Why?  Well it is because for the first time he wore Converse while on an NBA court, a pair of Chucks.  By doing so LeBron added himself to an impressive list of NBA players seen wearing Converse off the court.  This list includes, but is not limited to, Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire, Danny Granger, Kevin Durant, and Derrick Rose.

 

 

  

  

I tried to make the pictures bigger, but I couldn't make it happen without them getting more blurry.  Oh well enjoy the Playoffs this weekend, I really want the Bulls, Pistons, Spurs, Blazers, Magic, Heat, Jazz, and Hornets to advance, good thing those aren't actually my predictions.

The Converse Blog's Weapon Wednesday

In light of yesterdays post of the next colorway of the Wade 3, I'll continue the block fade colorway with today's Weapon. I got these pics from TaoBao but I can't remember who the user was that posted these. As you will see the blocking goes from White in toe cap, Grey in the mid area, and black in the heel, enjoy.

Well that's it for today I've got a lot of home work and rest up for the beat down that the Spurs are going to take from the Heat tonight....OK well I am just glad I don' bet.
