WESTFIELD, Ind. — Four minutes had ticked off the clock, and Josh Christopher needed a wardrobe change.
Sitting on the bench, the guard for The Truth, who also happens to be the No. 11 prospect in the class of 2020, pulled a pair of Nike Kobe A.D. NXT shoes. On the right shoe, a hand-drawn phrase filled the space. Friends don’t lie, it read. On the left, a drawing of a blonde woman clad in a chiffon dress and a blue windbreaker.
“I just decided to go with my custom Stranger Things shoes,” Christopher said in the aftermath of a 77-59 loss to Team United on Saturday during the second session of the Nike EYBL Circuit.
