The likes of Nets star Kyrie Irving, Lakers star LeBron James and reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo have also sported the Kobe Bryant's Nike pair this season. Interestingly, according to a report by ESPN, a startling 67% of the players in the NBA have chosen Nike as their preferred brand of footwear this season. To add to this, Lonzo Ball, the player that went the other way in the Anthony Davis trade was also seen lacing up with the Kobe 4.

Mavs star Luka Doncic follows LeBron James, Anthony Davis' lead

The Nike Kobe 4’s were rereleased in February earlier this year during the All-Star Weekend. In what will prove to be a major boost for Nike, Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic has also been seen sporting the Nike Kobe 4. Doncic has worn Under Armour and Jordan Brand in some of the games this season. However, the 2018-19 Rookie of the Year is now a sneaker free agent. Considering that he has been frequently spotted sporting the Nike Kobe 4 pair alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis, Nike could very well look to sign up the Dallas Mavericks star, especially considering that his name has been popping up in every MVP conversation of late.
