Hopefully a bucket away from the NBA Finals won't haunt him for the rest of his career.

Only 1 finger, 2 arms though.

He will be ok.

Joel Embiid, Under Armour to launch signature shoe later this year

Officially dubbed the Under Armour Embiid 1, the late 2020 launch will make Embiid the only current center in the league with his own signature shoe.

"It's been a long and great process," Embiid said. "It's not a big man shoe. It's a shoe for any basketball player."

Only sixteen current NBA players have their own signature shoe, which incorporates their design and performance feedback throughout the creative process, and includes a 5% royalty from the sales of each pair.

The 7-foot franchise center first signed the lucrative five-year shoe deal with Under Armour in October, 2018, negotiated by Creative Artists Agency, making him the highest paid player at his position.

For now, the mid-cut, mesh-based signature shoe has only been previewed in a phone-restricted setting, with Embiid potentially debuting his namesake sneaker on the court as early as this spring's playoffs.

I was 5’4, 75 pounds and wore size 13 shoes. I had to have the Shaq Pumps. They weighed 10 pounds and I looked like a clown. Big time. But they were awesome. Better than the Dave Robinson rip offs.

They were awesome, and then the Penny's came out and it was just pure pandemonium at Foot Locker.

I begged for the pumps....to no avail. Same with the pennies...to no avail. I think the only 1s I ever convinced my mom to buy me were the Stackhouses...which we pretty sweet too I suppose.

I'm not so sure he'll be ok. Under Armour's #1 NBA guy hasn't had a history of being ok wearing their shoes. I can't say for sure it's the shoes fault Curry had a bad run of ankle injuries but I can't say for sure the shoes weren't a factor either.
