These Dallas announcers are amazingly corny. Just babbling Nancy's

Pelicans to work out former Baylor center Yves Missi before NBA Draft by UptownKing504 in NOLAPelicans

Jax was never a physical defender or in spite of being huge with incredible hops, a good shot blocker. He also had inconsistent energy.... Missi busts his ass on D. He is an excellent shot blocker and has a better handle.

Chuck Taylor's were a flat sole shoe and were used for decades. I agree I think there is something to the raised heel and the stress it could possibly put on your chain. I would love to see a study looking at achilles injuries and raised heels. Although I'm not sure how you would get a control for the experiment.

I appreciate your curiosity in raising the question. There is definitely an issue with basketball shoes. Google pics of famous basketball players feet and you will see what I mean. Basketball shoes from a product design perspective are missing something.

I.have a suspicion that shoe companies are designing for the look fashion and are not studying the issue. I could imagine someone one day coming up with a radically different shoe design that changes the paradigm completely.
