On Tuesday's episode of ESPN's First Take, DJ Khaled accused the San Antonio Spurs of purposely turning off the air conditioning in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. His source? The streets.
That got us thinking: What would the streets say are DJ Khaled's best sneaker moments? We recently surveyed a few unnamed members for feedback on the topic. The answers took us from the weight room to American Airlines Arena.
And here we have DJ Khaled's top sneaker moments, according to the streets.
