    This continues to be a GREAT channel. I don't even buy shoes like that anymore and haven't touched a court in over a year+, but I will always keep coming back to this channel. Keep up the great work Weartesters Team and thank you for the informative & entertaining vids.

    Algorithm! Glad to see those old shoes are being used for something other than sitting in my garage. I'd like to check the out in a different color way . I prefer a mixture but I love seeing good defense being played. Defense is where teams can make separation. It's more WILL than skill and it also shows which teams know how to communicate with each other.

    these are super unique, I dig them. Very Vans-ish, almost skate shoe vibes.
    I think a good game is a good game. Sometimes it's defense, sometimes offense. Yes, they should have both... and great games DO. However, I find I get hyped over big plays, or an incredible individual performance (LeBron's block in 2016, Kobe's 81in point game, Jordan's multiple final shots.)

    I agree with the mix of both, bit if I gotta choose between an offensive game and defensive game, I'd go with defense 💯. When it's easy to score, buckets have less meaning. When it's tough to score, each bucket maters.

  • @TheGreenProspective
    @TheGreenProspective หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I definitely lean more towards the defensive-type game, but I agree that you need both offence and defence. The thing is, effort on defence is highly visible, while effort on offence isn't as visible because it's all about heart rate and conditioning (you beat the defender to the punch, so to speak). You have to coach both and insist on defence because that effort shows and can be translated to the offensive end.

      Me too. I m very skeptical. It could bring more damage to the ankle. It's a more than 90 degree roll, let's hope it's not 180, but could potentially roll a 150 degree.

  • @variandavid377
    @variandavid377 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The shoes are interesting and i kinda like em! Def would rock em…especially since it’s a low top and suede! Curious to see what the review is on its performance. The traction looks dope though and the fact that all the previous drop ins all work worth this too is an added bonus! As for the question of the day… IF i had to choose between the two and only that, I’d pick defense all day!! We’ve seen multiple versions of the run and gun high scoring zero defense version and in all instances…..i get pissed off when i don’t see defense played.🤣 Absolutely with Chris about the balance and that great teams achieved both.

    The stripe on the side gives me Vans vibes. Like an Old School or something similar. As far as today's question, give me elite shot making and up and down scoring. Defensive games are great, but most times, I just attribute that to the offense just not having it that day.

    @agentdubski7760 หลายเดือนก่อน

    1st. Good shoe and SURE it was the shoe that made that weird noise when the insole pods got moist!! 2nd. I'm for hustle and off the ball movement rather than standing still waiting for the pass and iso-ball. Defense first, passing over dribbling, and not just crossing half court and heaving a 3 pointer. THAT would be a perfect game and the Denver v. Minnesota series is amazing to watch the swarming defense and the hustle that each team is showing. 3rd. QOTD : What shoe would you waste a Genie's wish to have re-release and what shoe would you waste a Genie's wish to have NEVER release again? ❤

    QOTD: If I can only pick between those two choices, I'll take the track meet. The far extreme of offense (Steve Nash/Mike D'Antoni Suns) is more compelling than the far extreme of defense (Tony Bennett-era UVA). Extreme scoring feels like a celebration of basketball and extreme defense is a more pessimistic approach. But if I can choose my own game, give me somewhere in between and let it be a one-basket game.
    I gotta respect SPO for trying something new. I can't say that I'd be interested in wearing these casually but the tech seems cool and I like their commitment to listening to feedback.
    Thanks as always for hanging out with me, and have a great weekend. Here's another sucker punch for the algorithm.
