true I agree with you. But diffrent people have diffrent things some might want a light shoe to maximize their hops. some like shoes with tight ankle support ect. but then there are the ones who want jordans or lebrons or some others brand worn by a player who is good. They wear jordans cuz jordan made them and wore them and he is really good so if they wear them they will be very good.

The thing is, you can't play better with a certain shoe, but u can play worse with another.
If you buy a VCShox u aint gon play like Vince!
But if you buy sum sh** shoes like I did, (TeamMac 2), ull start getttin blisters all round and you can feel ur jump decrease. buy a shoe tht's comfy thts wht im sayin..

I honestly think its the comfort of the shoe. I wear the Nike Air Max 360's, to me they look normal ,not good. I bought them because theyre not that heavy and theyre one of the most comfortable shoes u can find out there

They don't make you play better, But it makes it easier to play better in.
If your a PG you arn't gonna wanna wear heavy ass shaq shoes and if your a guard your gonna want lower cut shoes than what forwards would wear. And if your a high jumper your gonna want lighter shoes but also have stablitlity and ankle support (e VC Vs).
But then you get some kids who just buy Jordans/LeBrons/Wades/Kobes/TMacs etc just to look good.
