It was early in the morning. Rock had slept on a living room couch at the house of the Marion and Kim Waugh family and was awakened to find everyone in preparation for a tribute to his birthday. Kim had spent the previous evening making high-top basketball shoes that resembled cans of Miller Lite—mostly white but with the traditional navy blue Lite label, except the word Lite had been replaced by Pete, Rock's most common nickname.
All the Waughs and several of their neighbors would wear them in a benefit basketball tournament scheduled for later that day. Marion seemed very excited. He also was clearly pleased by Rock's favorable reaction to the shoes.
