I was peeping www.blackflivesblog.com and learned that not only is it Jackie Robinson’s born day today, but that the man who broke the Major League Baseball color barrier 60 years ago and became an All-Star Brooklyn Dodger was also mad nice with the pill. Word! He was even courted by the Harlem Globetrotters at one point. Read all about this incredible story at: http://blackfivesblog.com/?p=303. Shout out to Claude Johnson who continually blesses the world with wonderful information like this! And shout out to DJ Clark Kent who dedicated some very tasty AF1s to Mr. Robinson, too:

I’m surprised I’ve never heard before that Jackie Robinson played hoops.
The kicks are sick.

Oooh LAWDIE those are sick. Why can’t the green light these rather than the current muckpile of AF1’s of late?
