Paul Pierce Doesn't Approve of Teammates Wearing LeBron James' Shoes to Practice

Paul Pierce's time with the Washington Wizards might have been brief, but it was enough to leave a lasting impression with his teammates.

Their No. 1 takeaway? Don't wear LeBron James' shoes to practice.

At least that's the first thing Marcin Gortat cited when asked what he learned from the 17-year veteran during media day Monday.

"Well, what I learned from him, you’re not allowed to wear LeBron James’s shoes to practice," Marcin Gortat told reporters, per the Washington Post's Jorge Castillo.

This seems to be a non-issue for other players and teams in the league—like the San Antonio Spurs' Manu Ginobili and Danny Green, who continued to wear James' shoes even while playing the four-time MVP and the Miami Heat in the 2013 NBA Finals.

Pierce's new teammates in Los Angeles, however, should be prepared to sideline any pairs of James' shoes they own.
