*Shoes worn by NBA star LaMarcus Aldridge*

After nine seasons with the Portland Trailblazers, Dallas native LaMarcus Aldridge is coming home to an $80 million contract with the Spurs—and a brand new house he commissioned.

The one problem?

His "massive" closet turned out to be too small to contain his collection of more than 150 pairs of shoes.

In a new video interview with *[Slam Magazine](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJxihsTNRgc)*, the NBA player says his solution is to build a mini-house behind his regular house to act as "a little showroom" for his footwear.

Here's the full interview, below.
