New Wizards forward Mike Miller(notes) recently wore LeBron James' Nike Zoom Soldier III kicks to practice and was told (jokingly, we think) by teammate DeShawn Stevenson(notes), "We don't wear these around here." (You, Abe Lincoln ... no one!)

...

From Bob Finnan at The News-Herald:

"Mike is a good friend of mine," said James. "He named his son after my best friend, Maverick (Carter). We have a good history."

James said Miller should lace up his sneakers, though.

"For an unathletic white guy, these are the best shoes to wear," James said [echoing Miller's previous comments].

Two things to love about this trivial exchange...
