Magic guard Mickael Pietrus has been wearing sneakers endorsed by Kobe Bryant this season.

However, with the players set to do battle in the NBA Finals, Pietrus is planning a wardrobe change.

"I have [Kobe shoes ] at my house, but I'm going to play with Michael Jordan shoes," Pietrus said, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

Regardless of what he wears on his feet, Pietrus is going to have to work hard to keep Bryant off his game.

"The only thing I can do is try to minimize his touches in the fourth quarter," Pietrus told the Sentinel. "He's a tremendous player and those guys you can not stop them. So maybe I can say, 'Hey, stop, Kobe! Yo! Stop!' Maybe that's the only way I can stop him. 'Stop for a minute!' "

Pietrus is one of the most underrated defenders in the game today. Air france is nice. But is this really news?

I probably sound stupid, but I think he's overrated as a defender.
You know what, I'm probably being harsh. He did alright against Pierce, but I think it was Pierce just running out of gas.

Everyone is acting like he stopped LeBron, but he still got monster monster numbers.
And you know he won't stop Kobe.

He played pierce one on one, no team faces LeBron one on one, and if you do, he's going to put up monster numbers on you regardless of who is covering him.

Come on mexi. You know nobody on this earth can guard Kobe JellyBean Bryant or LeBron Raymone James one on one. But the guy played them as good as you can.
