Day one is in the books, and if there was any general consensus of yesterday’s games, it felt damn good to see professional basketball back on the tube again. Now, with the best record in the league currently held by five teams at 1-0, there isn’t exactly cause for concern just yet. Read the rest of this entry »

What’s better than NBA players trying to pursue rap careers? Well, a lot of things but one in particular is seeing them lend their celebrity to help others come-up in their respective hustle. This week’s beneficiaries just so happens to be the talented trio of Pac Div and they’re all putting on for titanium powerhouse, Phiten in a new musical ad. Read the rest of this entry »

And just like that, one commercial serves as a momentary escape from reality that is the NBA lockout. Team Jordan released their “Love The Game” video last night headlined by three of the league’s biggest names in Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade. Without hardly any words, the sheer essence and beauty of basketball spoke volumes. Read the rest of this entry »

After doing Thursday and Friday at A3C in Atlanta, I caught an early Saturday morning flight to Miami to be a part of a small group invited by Nike to attend the 2011 South Florida All-Star Classic aka “The ‘Bron, Wade & friends game” held at Florida International University. The court was filled with some of the game’s best, split between two squads lead by the Miami stars and the on-court matchup was filled with smiles, laughs and camaraderie in typical all-star game fashion.

LeBron James is set to ball, lockout be damned. The Heat star, along with teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, has enlisted a mouth-watering group of NBA stars to play in an exhibition game this Saturday in Miami. Read the rest of this entry »

Wonderful. Another memorable summer league game I missed. One of these days somebody’ll pay me to go to stuff like this and pen my thoughts. In a roundabout way, I’ll be the black Bill Simmons. The Melo and Goodman Leagues squared off in Baltimore last night and featured a who’s who of NBA players, including a handful of the world’s best. Read the rest of this entry »

Jordan Brand:

“New York has been buzzing since Carmelo Anthony came to town. As Melo’s return to NY was a homecoming of sorts, we thought it was only fitting to come out with some new gear to commemorate the city’s excitement about his arrival. Read the rest of this entry »

Swish. Man, it was good to see Carmelo Anthony’s 19-footer fall sweetly through the net with 0.5 seconds left on the clock last night. Before Melo’s heroics, the game looked like a typical Knick collapse from days of yore. Up 10 with just over three minutes to go, the Knicks managed to let their lead dwindle away Read the rest of this entry »

Last night, around 11 p.m., Carmelo Anthony was finally traded to the New York Knicks. It took several months of dizzying rumors, involved almost half the teams in the league and allowed Isiah Thomas to worm his way back into James Dolan’s ear, but it’s finally done. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve never been accused of being the most sentimental person in the world, but I too remember my first. My first Eastbay, that is. I was either 8 or 9 and headed off to baseball practice when I decided to go through the pile of mail on the table. Like I said, being 8 or 9, I wasn’t expecting much since my birthday was still a month or so away. But that day was different as I received a catalog, which at the time I thought was titled “Eastboy.” Read the rest of this entry »

As if Nuggets and, coincidentally, Bulls fans needed more reason to fear Melo’s move to Manhattan, the on-court star continues his push to establish his name off the court with the Become Legendary mixtape. Given away to coincide with the release of latest sig shoe, the Melo M7, the compilation is co-branded by Jordan Brand & Melo’s Krossover Entertainment and packed with features.

Bulls.com:

“With Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer, all potential All-Stars, it would seem to be the Bulls more than any team. Some around James are wondering now if he made a mistake by going to Miami with so little around him, especially no front court size as the Heat has been getting dominated on the boards, like 47-32 in their Saturday loss to Memphis, and with Dwyane Wade soon to be 29 and perhaps feeling the effects of so many falls and previous injuries and fragile pieces Read the rest of this entry »
