^, Nice rundown dude, I did the same thing when I saw that article about the 20 sigs. I think that is on-point and yes Jordan brand athletes definitely count.

Thanks

I've pretty much balled in all of them except obviously the Kyries.

And honestly the Swoopes were fires. I Picked up a sz 14 in NTOC back in the day.

I actually did my list yesterday also and here's what I got:

1. Michael Jordan

2. David Robinson (Nike Air Command Force)

3. Charles Barkley

4. Penny Hardaway

5. Scottie Pippen

6. Gary Payton

7. Jason Kidd

8. Chris Webber

9. Kevin Garnett

10. Tim Duncan

11. Dennis Rodman

12. Vince Carter

13. LeBron James

14. Kobe Bryant

15. Paul Pierce

16. Amare Stoudemire

17. Steve Nash (Nike Zoom MVP)

18. Kevin Durant

19. Kyrie Irving

20. Alonzo Mourning

21. Tim Hardaway

I'm counting 21 if you count David Robinson's as sigs, and excluded Sheryl Swoopes.
 
Aha, yes totally forgot about Nash, Amare's two sigs, (I even own one of them and I forgot lol) and D-Wade. Then if Nike is talking about 20 sigs, they can't be counting Jordan Brand, even though they of course include MJ as the number one spot.
 
Here is the list of twenty:


1985 - JORDAN
1994 - CB
1995 - CW
1996 - PENNY
1996 - FIVE
1996 - WORM
1997 - ALONZO
1997 - PIPPEN
1998 - T-BUG
1998 - GARNETT
1998 - GLOVE
2001 - DUNCAN
2001 - VC
2003 - LEBRON
2005 - PIERCE
2006 - KOBE
2007 - STAT
2008 - MVP
2009 - KD
2014 - KYRIE

You can't discount Swoopes in Nike BBall sigs,....it was a big deal before and nikebiz.com did a piece on her and her Sig shoe when talking about all the sigs....

There have been several women to have sigs, but only 20 men have had Nike bball sigs (Kyrie is #20). I posted the list a few posts up. If you count women, the list grows to 23 or 24 I think.

I'm assuming "FIVE" is Jason Kidd, but who is "T-BUG"?
 
zoom flight five = kidd sig (had his logo on the back). zoom flight '95 the year before was known as kidd's shoe, but nothing on the shoe indicated it was a sig.

t-bug = tim hardaway. one of the most obscure and forgotten nike bball sigs. it's the only sig hardaway ever had, although the bakin' was closely associated with him and there was a version of the air up that was clearly intended to be a tim hardaway PE.

rodman's worm sig was pretty obscure too and he barely wore it.
 
Chamique Holdsclaw, Lisa Leslie, and Diana Taurasi  also had sigs shoes
