Every word Jordan says in this commercial is so true. I understand if someone hates Jordan, that’s fine, but you must respect him. This guy is an entity to the game of basketball, he changed the game — completely. As much as meant to the game and as much as it changed because of him, the point of this commercial is truth — MJ worked his ass off to become the legend he is.
We’re less than two weeks away from the release of the Nike Air Jordan XII Flu Game, but if you ask me, the better looking Air Jordan XII comes out about a month from now. The ultra smooth Air Jordan XII White/Red will be dropping December 19, six days before the long-awaited and hyped release of the Space Jam XI’s.
These shoes are the best looking of the XII’s if you ask me, but the All-Star blues are a close second. Save your money folks, you only have about a month to get your paper right for two huge releases.
It’s kind of scary that LeBron James is already in his seventh season. It’s even scarier that it’s been almost seven years and Darko Milicic still sucks.
Where has the time gone?
Here’s one of LeBron’s first Nike commercials — from 2004 — featuring the late, great Bernie Mac.
The Air Jordan is the standard of basketball shoes. The name, the brand and the shoe have set the tone in the sneaker game for the past twenty-five years. It appears some pictures have leaked of the Air Jordan 2010.
If you ask me, since the Air Jordan XIII, the shoes have pretty much sucked, with a few exceptions (I did like the XX’s). I actually like what I see from these so far. Most Jordans initial release is during All-Star Weekend, so that’s when you should expect these to drop.
Word spread last month that the Air Jordan XI “Space Jam” would be dropping in November. Incorrect.
According to the good folks over at Kix and the City, the legendary sneaker will actually be released on December 24. They’ll be priced with a higher sticker of $175, but they’re coming in some fancy packaging, so it’ll sucker us all into paying for them.
No matter how broke I am, these will appear under my Christmas tree.
Chicago was a fantastic time and a much needed trip on my part. Obviously, seeing a kid in some skinny jeans wearing a Bryant Reeves Vancouver Grizzlies jersey was worth the 5-hour drive alone. Seriously, props to him for owning that jersey, granted he told me his last name was “Reeves,” which was somewhat of a letdown (I guess I was hoping he’d be a hardcore “Big Country” fan).
I rolled into Chicago early Friday evening, and on Saturday we went downtown and visited Niketown. I told myself I didn’t want to go there, but I couldn’t resist. Luckily I didn’t buy anything, which was why I wanted to stay away. For me, going to Niketown is the equivalent of someone who is in AA walking into a bar.
When you first walk in the door, you run into this mural of Michael Jordan, accompanied by TV screens showing the Air Jordan “History of Flight” video, showcasing the AJ I-XXIII in the all white styles that will release next year.
The store had more of a Jordan feel than ever, because of the Hall of Fame induction going on this weekend. I took a couple of pics from the store, and we even saw Tim Thomas walking in on our way out, but I didn’t bother him.
Gerald Wilkins was never as good as his older brother Dominique Wilkins, but he still was a pretty good player. He averaged 13 points per game over the course of this 13-year NBA career.
Wilkins is the father of Minnesota Timberwolves forward Damien Wilkins.
In his heyday, nobody in the league could compete with Wilkins’ high-top fade (well, except for Kenny “Sky” Walker). He was also in a Nike Flight commercial with Super Dave Osborne, who is legendary in his own right, so with that said, just watch already…
Sometimes you have to ask the Universe or your God to help you get ahead through the fog. But ask! No one can do everything by themselves.(via Twitter)19 hours ago
