As the 2024 NBA Playoffs enter its final stages, some of the league's biggest stars have transitioned from the hardwood to their favorite fishing spots. Yes, we're talking about the beloved Gone Fishin' tradition from Inside the NBA on TNT. But while these NBA greats might be out of the playoff picture, their signature sneakers are still making waves off (and on other players) the court.
Despite another stellar season with the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James couldn't propel his team past the formidable Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference. Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and the Phoenix Suns also faced a tough exit, bowing out to the resilient Minnesota Timberwolves after getting swept. Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers surprisingly ousted Giannis Antetokounmpo's Milwaukee Bucks.
Ja Morant's Memphis Grizzlies showed flashes of brilliance but ultimately couldn't secure a playoff spot this year. Zion Williamson's New Orleans Pelicans also packed up early, with their squad falling short against the Thunder in the opening round of the playoffs.
Though no longer contending for the championship, each player boasts some best-performance basketball sneakers today.
From LeBron's versatile Nike LeBron 21 to Giannis' dominant Nike Zoom Freak 5 and Ja Morant's explosive Nike Ja 1, these sneakers are designed to deliver top-tier performance and style. Whether hitting the court or looking to up your sneaker game, these signature models ensure you're always stepping out in elite fashion.
