UNC's Barnes will keep wearing his Kobes

Posted Mar 25, 2011
Michael Jordan may not like it, but UNC wing Harrison Barnes is not changing his shoes. The freshman said Thursday he knows the former Tar Heels star was only teasing when he told Barnes that he needed to get rid of the Kobe Bryant model of shoes he's been wearing, and replace them with Air Jordans. So he'll likely be wearing the same Kobe-syle Nikes when his team takes on Marquette in the NCAA Regional semifinals tonight. (Raleigh News & Observer)
