I would like to have the shoe because there is a kid I know who lives with his mom and does not have a quality shoe to walk in. I feel sorry for him so if I get the shoe, I will definitely give it to him.

I had to sit through 41 2007-08 painful home games as a season ticket holder for the Heat. I would like to have the shoe as a token of appreciation for being one of the few fans that never booed Ricky Davis when he was on the court. He played in all 82 games for the Heat this year making him one of the most durable guys in the league. Thanks, hope you all send me that kick!

Loyal Heat Fan,

Rey

I have a group of friends here in Australia that all play ball and are huge NBA fans. For years and years Ricky has been my fav player in the league, partly due to the annoyance it creates for all my mates. I’ve gone to great lengths to promote RD and get some sort of postive material printed of him on official basketball sites and publications. Have written ridiculous letters, maybe 20, to magazines claiming absurd ‘facts’ of his career achievements. Have written to NBA.com bloggers, including that bloke who used to write the Race 2 the MVP, trying to get some ink supporting RD. I’ve gone to the extent of buying personalised RD jerseys off NBA.com with things ‘MVP’ and ‘ALLSTAR’ on the back and rocking them at training to piss off team mates.

Probably the most ridiculous thing I attempted to organise was trying to contact Ricky to come live with me and my mates in Australia during the offseason, see part of the world, experience the culture, get pissed with us and play a few games in our casual off season domestic competition leagues. wasn’t sucessful with that one.

I’m a diehard RD fan and it would be priceless to see my housemates and teammates faces if those shoes rocked up on our door step : )

I actually have 10 autographed jerseys, 10 autographed basketballs, and 8 autographed shoes from NBA players currently, so what I’d probably do is take the shoe you sent me, return it, and have you send it back.

That way I’d get my triple-double.

I was going to make a post and try and get it.. but as Vince as would say…. It’s ovaaaaaaaa……

I need 1 more rebound for a triple double, and with this 1 shoe I can shoot at the other teams basket after we inbound the ball after my man scores and get the missed shot for my tenth rebound!!! You gotta hook me up!

ricky davis was the first ball player to come to the celts since reggie who had some flavor in his game and made the very traditional, boring celts (at that time) have a kick of excitement.

as the celtics have clearly evolved (and now we got KG, the ambassador of flavor, talent, love, passion, inspiration, and of course pushing us to believe anything is possible), this autographed ricky shoe would give me a constant memory of what the celtics have come from in such a short time, when ricky was a savior in his own regard….how things can change….

I actually do not mind Ricky Buckets at all. I think he is a misguided talent in the league. Not a lot are like him, size , power and athleticism. He is of the Isiah Rider mold in attitude, yes, but I still like him. I would find him questionable to be with My Raps if I had the chance, but in a Spurs or Jazz system, he might thrive. and oh yeah, the shoes are dope.

I was gonna say something, but there’s no point. It was a knockout early in the first round when it comes to best comment.

“FK in T-Oh says:

Lmao…brilliant.
