The Conference Finals are set as we wait to see who remains and will face one another in the NBA Finals. Although the Golden State Warriors have a 2-0 lead without KD, I wouldn’t count out that PDX backcourt just yet. As for the East, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez were on fire against Toronto despite Kyle Lorry’s 30-point performance.
If you think basketball and the sneaker heat that comes with it ends with the NBA, you’re highly mistaken. As the WNBA kicks off its 23rd season, we at Nice Kicks are dedicating Kicks On Court to both the WNBA and NBA. They got game (and some fire kicks), why not showcase it?
Take a look at all the best Kicks we saw this week across the NBA Playoffs and the WNBA preseason. Let us know which one are your faves and what we missed. Keep it locked at Nice Kicks for all of your NBA and WNBA needs.
