In depth analysis of basketball shoes, equipment and news.
If you never got to see the original LeBron 8‘s on the shelf, you missed out. I bought a pair and turned them into my game shoe simply based on how they looked, which I never do. The dilemma of course was red or blue (East or West…as they were released for his 2011 All-Star […]
It’s been a while since Bobcats Chairman/Owner Mike Jordan joined his team’s practice, and this most recent one was indeed a treat. While the ‘Cats are sporting a somewhat positively surprising 7 -13 record (they won 7 games total last year), getting $ to work out with you definitely can’t hurt. It seems the players appreciated the opportunity to get […]
The real story in the Clippers win over the Bulls last night was Blake Griffin dunking on everyone (check out the highlights). But as you can see, much of that had to do with Chris Paul, who himself put in 18, 4 and 4. CP3 has been doing his thing all season, averaging around […]
Who doesn’t love Allen Iverson? If not love, one has to at least respect one of the greatest pound-for-pound guards in the history of basketball.

In my opinion, it is the most effective fantasy strategy available. Specifically, cat punting is […]
The Players This first round match-up features two very different player types, Blake Griffin and DeMar DeRozan. Griffin is built for power, standing 6’10, and weighing 250 lbs. He makes a habit of using this size to not only dunk on players but sometimes through players. DeRozan on the other hand is a shorter, wiry, slasher. […]
It’s 2012 now but it’s never a bad time to unbox a pair of Air Max 2011s, especially in these colors.
I guess it’s bad form to start off a Blog category that features reviews of basketball-related product advertisements with a blatantly non-basketball ad, but it does feature the best active basketball player on earth, Kobe Bryant (quiet down, you), so…here we go.
