USA Basketball resumed training for the FIBA World Up in Las Vegas yesterday, turning up the level of competition as the deadline for selecting a final team nears.
Once again, we were focused on the kicks that hit the hardwood, which included Derrick Rose's newly introduced signature shoe, the Air Jordan XX8 SE and Kobe 9 Lows. Check out a few close-up shots from Vegas below.
