Before Kyrie X SpongeBob Release, Irving Explains Which Position The SpongeBob Characters Would Play

These will be THE greatest sneakers ever! At least for every SpongeBob fan out there.

In collaboration with Nickelodeon, Nike will release a special SpongeBob themed line of Kyries and they are absolutely stunning. Irving apparently is a huge fan of the show and convinced Nike to start such collaboration.

In an interview with GQ, he explained which basketball position each the SpongeBob characters would play:

 

“Squidward is a shooting guard. He’s the most selfish one. He just shoots his own shots. He doesn’t care what’s going on.

SpongeBob is really like… positionless. He can play the 3/4, go to the 1.

Mr. Krabs is like the power forward. He’s literally the muscle of the group. He’s always giving different business ideas on how to spend money and like, “The Krusty Krab is the best ever!” and he’s competing with the Chum Bucket. He’s like the Charles Oakley. Weight god who’s coming in, but there are also teaching moments in it.”
