Clippers forward PJ Tucker is known for having the largest shoe collection in the NBA. His collection is so large that he actually owns players’ shoes that the players themselves don’t own. One wild case is LeBron James.
In an interview with shoe website Got Sole, PJ Tucker revealed that he actually owns a pair of LeBrons that LeBron himself has never seen before.
“I hit LeBron and he was like, ‘Yo, what the hell is that?'”

In 2023, it was reported that PJ Tucker had collected over 5,000 pairs of shoes, including a diamond-encrusted pair of Air Jordans valued at over $250,000. The amount of shoes that Tucker actually brings to the arena every game day is a very unreal amount. Earlier this year, Tucker gifted LeBron James a pair of shoes, so the news makes sense in that regard.

Currently, PJ Tucker is in the final year of his contract with the LA Clippers and earns $11,539,000. Last season, he was unhappy with the playing time he got with the team. Numerous media outlets reported that the Clippers wanted to trade Tucker in the offseason, but finding a team for a 39-year-old earning $11 million will be a very difficult task. It remains to be seen if the Clippers can do it.
