Reza’s counterparts in Philadelphia packed Tucker’s game shoes into a dozen of the largest boxes they could find. When they arrived two days after the trade, Reza and his staff “were dizzy” packing each pair into individual shoeboxes and organizing them in their equipment room. They labeled and arranged the shoes by models — including Kobes, KDs, LeBrons, Kyries and G.T. among other lines — on four bays of industrial shelving. “It’s like we opened up a Foot Locker from scratch,” said Reza, who has been with the Clippers for 13 years. “It was the craziest amount of shoes that I’ve ever inherited. “It’s been fun seeing all the PEs [player exclusives], all the one-of-ones he has, all the special editions that only a handful of people in the world have.” -via ESPN / February 7, 2024
