Oklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George (13) shoots in front of Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale, center, and center Ekpe Udoh, right, during the fourth quarter of an NBA basketball game in Oklahoma City, Wednesday, Dec. 20, 2017. Oklahoma City won 107-79.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Jazz guard Rodney Hood is a Nike athlete.

Some of his go-to kicks are Oklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George’s signature shoes, the Nike PG 1.

But on Wednesday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena, Hood didn't want to give his opponent an edge so he decided to break out the brand new, black/white Nike Kyrie 4’s instead.
