Adidas Basketball and Marvel recently announced that they have joined forces to create the limited-edition “Heroes Among Us” collection including five new footwear designs. Basketball players, like Super Heroes, have alter-egos. Just as Super Heroes don masks, players don uniforms, and each athlete represents a different power and skill.

Could you imagine a prime Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal and Tracy McGrady playing together on the same team? Of course you can’t. The notion is ludicrous.

But not everyone is impressed. Tracy McGrady was on ESPN’s “The Jump” and wasn’t exactly oozing with praise for Curry. Rather, [...]
