Adrian Mack grew up in Hitchcock, Texas, a small town outside of Houston. He attended La Marque HS, where he was a three-year letterman in football and four-your letterman in basketball. After high school, Mack packed his bags for Texas Southern University, where he continued to pursue ball outside the classroom.

Basketball, broken down to its simplest compound, is about scoring more buckets than the team you’re playing against. The Semi-Automatic refers to players who leave bodies in their wake with their innate ability to get buckets. And once upon a time, not too long ago, Jay Williams took the college game by the throat with some fierce offensive weaponry. Read More »

As a premier performer on the street, both as a chill out shoe and a ballers shoe, the Jordan brand rolls on and on after 25 years of strong game that only the Chuck Taylor and the Nike Air Force 1 have approached.
Now, D. Wade enters the Jordan house with an NBA title and a new shoe deal, joining an elite group of NBA performers who rock the Jordan brand. Finally, MJ has broken me down. My kids are laughing at me right now because they know I get my joints for free for the most part. After 25 years of watching the butters roll by like Benz’s on 24’s, I’m going to go out and get myself a pair. I know I must look like an alien to most of the basketball world right now, but I’m got.

40 Cal received 25 stitches after he was attacked.
Around 2 a.m., 40 Cal, one of Bounce Magazine’s hardest workers, was slashed from ear to mouth on the streets of Catherine and Madison in his neighborhood on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. He has received more than 25 stitches and even some staples. I spoke to him a couple of minutes ago, and he’s doing well. But the random acts of violence have to stop. Out of the kindness of your heart, can you pray for 40 Cal to have a speedy recovery? Let’s shoot hoops and not guns!
