Last Christmas, San Antonio Spurs big man Matt Bonner seemed a little disappointed he didn't have special kicks for the season. Instead, he was left to wear the plainest of sneakers for a national audience.

The 34-year-old Bonner has taken a long road to a shoe deal, landing with adidas in January after begging on Twitter.
