Nike’s Next Step: Design Your Own Jordans

When I was a kid playing basketball, I saw Larry Bird and Magic Johnson hawking Converse Weapons and dreamed about someday doing a commercial for my own shoe.  Obviously, those dreams never quite materialized (I’ll pause as you wipe away the tears) but the dream of having my own custom set of kicks hasn’t died.

Brandon Jennings, Under Armour Wage Sneaker War

Brandon Jennings does not like snakes. More specifically, he does not like certain basketball players who take a snake as their nickname.

Herb Simon May Rescue Us From Having To Listen To Reggie Miller

Reggie Miller is one of the best shooters the game has ever seen.  His “eight points in nine seconds” is one of the most amazing things you’ll ever see on the court.  But he’s, ummm, less than easy to listen to in the broadcast booth.  I’m not breaking any new ground by saying that.  Follow […]
