Could it be the shoes again?
That, of course, was the line from the famous Spike Lee/Michael Jordan Nike commercial of the 1980s. And Saturday in the Bulls 87-77 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, the shoes were perhaps the most scintillating.
Well one, anyway, which was on the foot of Robin Lopez, and the colorful and erratic design could be something of a metaphor for this Bulls season. Lopez, the Bulls leading scorer for the second straight game, drew a compelling, graphic, asymmetrical kaleidoscope of colors on one shoe for the home opener in the United Center.
