Kicks On Court: Team USA “Hoops for Troops” Practice

its-practice-0

Following our recap of the World Basketball Festival’s opening night at Barry Farms, we now bring you a special Kicks On Court edition of the USA Men’s National Team. Yesterday’s headlining event featured Team USA in practice mode as part of the Hoops for Troops program. Specifically, the team went through a number of shell drills, play sets and ultimately scrimmaged against each other while basketball analyst Jay Bilas narrated from the sideline. The majority of the players strapped up in the “USA” version of the Nike Lunar Hyperdunk; however, the USA signature shoes of Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony and Kobe Bryant were also on display, with the latter shoe appearing on the majority of the coaching staff’s feet. Additionally, Russell Westbrook rocked the yet-to-be-released Nike Hyperfuse 2012. Check out a full recap of the Team USA “Hoops for Troops” Practice below, which also includes shots of the USA Women’s team’ s footwear and the Armory Center setup.
