Justin Burrell on the line for 2
World, meet Justin Burrell a.k.a. the “Rim Punisher,” or “RP.” The 6′8″ 220 lb. New York native has bounced around from Middletown to Our Savior Lutheran to Bridgton Academy over the years. If you are on the HS scene inside you know who he is, but otherwise […]

Eastbay will always have a special place in my heart. Growing up it was always a treat when the catalog showed up at the crib. The sneaker game in the early to mid-’90s was nothing like it is now. Really, the only shot at getting some kicks that matched your team colors was in […]

Oden rapping with me for a sec.
Friday was the NBA Rookie Photo Shoot in Westchester County, NY at the Knicks practice facility. All the incoming rooks were there rockin their team jerseys taking group, action, and single photos as well as shots for their first trading cards.

Unfortunately, I’d put my camera away thinking the game was over, then . . […]

Chris Paul and Andre Iguodala going 1 on 1.
If you were at ‘55th last night, you were a part of history. 2K Sports conducted the first outdoor motion capture session for the highly anticipated NBA 2K8 video game. Junkies like me already know that they make the best basketball simulation game on the market. If […]
