2011 Sneaker of The Year: #AirJordan 11 #Concord

0 comments















15 years after its original release, The Air Jordan 11 (Concord) has created a historical buzz in the sneaker industry. Retailing for $180, the midnight release of the tuxedo inspired shoe resulted in near riot reactions from customers in Georgia and long-ass line ups in Indiana, Florida, Texas and Virginia. The concord has always been considered the best Air Jordan design of the entire series and is a must have for any true sneaker connoisseur. Last time I checked EBAY, an authentic pair of Concords were bidding for close to $500.

T'was The Night Before Christmas...

0 comments
See my expression as I sit on Santa's lap. Bored, tired and unimpressed by the "hoopla" surrounding good ol' St Nick. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed an amazing run of expensive gifts, belt-busting plates of food and "Did ______ actually say that?" moments  at the dinner table.

But, like most adults without kids, the excitement surround Christmas has changed. I'm no longer concerned about the value of the gifts I receive or the cost of those I chose to give. When the December calendar highlights the 25th, I think about those who have nothing to look forward to but yet another lonely day.

This year, as u hustle thru the last minute details of Christmas dinner and wrap package after package, take a moment to reflect and be gratefully for everything you've been blessed with.

Tonight, my thoughts are with those without friends and family to celebrate the holidays with. Those who've had to rely on Food banks, shelters and the kindness of strangers. Those who battle addictions and Mental illness. Those who suffer from physical and verbal abuse....

Enjoy the holidays and remember...Life is short, don't miss a day.

NBA Preview 2012: My Top Ten Love/Hate Edition

0 comments


A janitor walks into the New York Knicks home dressing room in Madison Square Garden and flicks the light switch, illuminating the newly renovated space. He smiles.

A restaurant owner in Boston, struggling to stay in business, purchases 2 Flat Screen monitors to promote "Celtics Nights" on Tuesdays. He is relieved.

On December 25th, The National Basketball Association will once again resume its place as the most captivating sport on television. As excited as I am to watch Kobe, Lebron and Derrick Rose display their superior talents, lets take a moment to reflect those who's minimum wage salary is directly affected by millionaires.

2011 #NBAFINALS: #Lebron's Redemption Song

0 comments
















On the eve of the most important series of his career, I am proud to proclaim that I am a fan of Lebron James. From his celebrated entrance as a high school phenom, to his vilified 2010 season due to "The Decision", Kings James has never shied away from the spotlight. He is the undisputed MVP of the league (Respect D.Rose) and quite possibly… the most gifted player EVER since Earvin" Magic" Johnson introduced "Showtime" to our vocabulary.

Tonight, he is 4 wins away from completing a goal most don't want him to achieve. The memories of the 2007 Finals sweep at the hands of the Spurs will never go away. The embarrassment of surrendering to the Celtics in 2010 will always sting. The comparisons to Jordan and the pressure to deliver a championship to his Cleveland faithful weighed heavy on his young, broad shoulders.

Tonight, we may all witness the beginning of a dynasty. But for me, it will be the rightful coronation of the greatest player since Kobe Bryant to dominate our league for years to come.....

If you're like me and wear dress shoes 4 days a week, the change in weather is sigh of relief for our aching soles. so, to help you break to bondage of corporate hard bottoms, lets take a mouth watering glance at these special releases....

He's had a spectacular season playing for the "City Of Angels" other NBA squad. With the shadow of the Lakers championship banners looming large overhead, The Clippers introduced the world to their prized posession and revealed in his glory. Blake took the league by storm with an effortless display of atheletism, creativity and charisma not readily associated with his franchise. After 82 spectacular games, lets take a look at Blake Griffins top plays of the year.

In league full of inflated egos, overpaid pre-madonnas and underachieving millionaires; he's the star of stars. The undisputed best basketball player in the world displayed why he's the king of the hill on Feb 20th, in Los Angeles. With his sights set on his 4th All-Star MVP award, The Black Mamba with a sense of purpose, aggression and focus not readily associated with the mid season exhibition. Scoring a game-high 37 points and holding off a ferocious 2nd half effort from the heir apparent (Lebron James scored the 2nd triple-double in all-star history), Kobe solidified his position as the NBA's Kingpin. Now, lets see what happens in the playoffs...

His image took quite a hit after his decison to "take his talents to South Beach". But, no one can deny his overall brilliance on the court. Here are his top plays of the year:

Year of the Mixtape: Top 5 "Street Albums" of 2010...

2 comments

So, whens the last time you bought a CD? Had to think about it for minute, right? Don't be embarrassed. Most of us have all bootlegged, pirated and illegally downloaded an album at some point during the last 5 years. The reason is simple: retail albums general suck. Especially in the hop hop category, where artists are pursing the next ringtone banger instead of creating a cohesive long-player. Today, we'll take a look my favorite mixtapes that helped define 2010. These exclusive collections of uncleared samples, unedited skits and uncensored lyrics commonly known as "street albums'....
