I've got a problem. A few weeks ago while playing a little ball I noticed that my VC Shox II were coming apart. So, the following week I used my Shox BB4's and the same thing happened. The sole was coming apart from the shox plate. It appears that the adhesive that's used to glue the sole and the shox together failed. Since these are shoes from the same era I'm assuming that this is a flaw with the adhesive. Disappointing.
Of course that puts me on the prowl for new kicks. And since I've been playing on...
Words can hardly describe my affection towards Michael Jordan. Jordan the basketball player, not the person. I often wonder how my kids (future tense) will view him. Will they study him and watch old games with their dad on NBA TV or will they view him the same way I view Ernie Banks, a great player but I don't know how good outside of the stats. A better question might be how will technology affect their view of the greatest balla eva? How will highlights on YouTube affect his legend. Of course, Jordan's legend continues to grows due to...
Jack and the boys did it. In a previous post I mentioned how I would love for the Canes to win just one in the NCAA tournament. Well, they did just that. He lit up the second half with thirty-two and thirty-eight overall for a career high. This was a huge game for a young basketball team. This morning as I read the paper about the game when I noticed something...his shoes. McClutch was wearing the best Jordans ever made, the Air Jordan V. I have so many fond memories of playing ball as a sophomore in those shoes....
I'm still in shock. After a horrid start to the ACC season the University of Miami basketball team is back in the NCAA tourney. My only expectation is that they win one. Just beat St. Mary's and chalk up the learning experience. If you win more great! I'll love every second. Personally, I sometimes have a tough time watching UM B-Ball. During my time at UM I had a great affinity towards the team. We went to a bunch of games and occasionally played some pick-up with some of the guys (and gals) on the team. When Coach Clark left...
Congratulations to the Miami Heat for disproving all doubters and winning four straight against a tough Dallas team. Wade was simply incredible this series averaging thirty-four points a game and hitting clutch shot after clutch shot. Of course I'm happy for Shaq and Riley who both promised a championship when they rolled into town but I'm really happy for Zo. For so long he was the face of Miami basketball: tough defense and all heart. He showed that face in game six where he comes into the game fourteen points down and gives Miami an emotional lift with blocked shots and...
