Among many others that he follows, my son follows Jon and Zoubs on twitter. A couple of months ago, both posted trivia questions and my son answered correctly (Zoubek's career high in rebounds) and the prize was an autographed pair of shoes from Zoubek. The shoes arrived recently, signed by Brian, Jon and Lance. Really cool - the biggest shoes I've ever seen, Duke blue, signed by the seniors from the 2010 championship team. They will join an autographed print by each Davidson player with a retired jersey as the coolest piece of sports stuff in the house. Thanks Brian!

That IS truly awesome.

I've got a pair of shiny black Nike BB shoes with Duke blue swoosh and tread - and a basketball icon embroidered at the top of the tongue. They just unusual enough to be plausibly official gear: http://www.shoezoo.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/2056c3925ef7ac82992bf9e6a11c16f0/P/A/PAAAAAOCKKFDBCJA.jpg

so for fun I say they were Jon Scheyer's "away" shoes in the 2009-10 season - just to see the reaction, then I quickly come clean. About half fall for it -

but to have Zoub's actual shoes, and a good true story to go with them, that's pretty awesome.
