#SoleWatch: NBA Power Rankings for February 28

As the NBA's playoff race heats up, so does the battle for NBA #SoleWatch supremacy.

After a surprising absence last week, P.J. Tucker returns to the rankings after lacing up a couple Air Jordan collaborations. He's also a fan of the Nike Kobe 11, a shoe that once again lands Kobe Bryant a spot on the list.

In recent weeks, DeMarcus Cousins has added some intrigue to his sneaker rotation by mixing Nike and Jordan retro models in with his usual Player Exclusives. As a result, he has another strong showing in the rankings.

Combining performance with colorways, Stephen Curry continues to make history in the Under Armour Curry Two. The reigning MVP averaged 45 points per game this week, including a 51-point performance and a 35-foot game-winner. Curry isn't only selling sneakers for Under Armour, but he's creating a story that will make the model relevant for years to come.

See who's wearing the best sneakers in the league in this week's NBA #SoleWatch,Power Rankings.
