If you can't debut your own pair of sneakers, why not get your own teammate to debut the shoes. Despite Kobe Bryant being injured, that didn't stop his teammate Nick "Swaggy P" Young for debuting the Nike Kobe IX Elite on an NBA court against the Miami Heat. Swaggy P finished the game with a strong offensive performance of 19 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 steals in the 12-point defeat.
