I play sagging, help style defense.  On offense, generally get guarded by a big guy, but float the perimeter to keep them out of the lane and crash boards hard when they sleep.  So, my offense is mostly raining 3's and putbacks.

Try Kohls.  They're always running some sale.  I usually get name brand there for about $30.

pickyourshoes is a good site, Bossi recommended it to me a while back.  I actually just came across those shoes this morning and mental noted them, so it was odd you started this thread on the same day.

Eastbay is okay but I like Shoebacca better.  They have hundreds of just Nike and Adidas in your price range.  (They have all the other brands too, but I pretty much only wear those two brands.)  Hell, you can get a very nice pair for $50.

I own the Lebron shoes myself. Bought them brand new for only $70. VERY light and easy to play in. They also look good
