Stanley Lumax from Converse got me hip to their new campaign with Shammgod. Shammgod recalls his childhood basketball regimen and “shaking his own shadow.”

    Bobbito, I need that issue of Bounce. You can vouch that I’ve been lobbying to get this man his props for the longest. Now if I can just get KRS ONE a lifetime achievement award from the Grammy’s, I’ll feel I have contributed something to the culture. Peep the Bounce post I wrote on Shammgod

    If Shamgod was an overseas player instead of a NYC kid. He’d be a lottery pick now. They say he couldn’t stick because of a J. What does Antonio Daniels & Chris Duhon do consistently. LOL. They could tell you whatever you believe. You’re telling he can’t be a serviceable back up today. You’re kidding right. Timing boy. The Gift & Curse. Might have the best ball handling drills ever created to man. Better Basketball should cut a check.

    Some people in Philly say Jerome Pooh Allen invented the move. They both do it differently but it’s based of the same movement. Pooh hit Kevin Johnson with it in a game vs the Dream Team II vs College stars. WOW. I was at Rucker park. When Sham hit this kid from Boston with it. They were calling him Child Abuse. He threw it out did the leg run & pulled it back. The kid went flying. I had my whole neighborhood trying it & defending it for a month. Tyliek Brown is one of the few guards I’ve seen with close or similar handle. He mimicked almost every drill down to a tee. CRAZY. How do you scrap your knees to the ground full speed putting the ball between your legs in a game.

    Shaheem’s double in & out/Erik Barkley’s inside change renamed the EB/Skip’s spin of your back/Bone collector whatever the hell he does/Alimoe wizadry/Jamal Crawford shakes/Mal Tinsley & Booger- Brooklyn’s Finest/Showtime Hill-Type showtime Hill on this site LOL/Andre”Boogie”Barrett Dribbles tennis balls better than most guards in the league today dribble a basketball
    Steve Francis & White Chocolate on the streets MANNNNNNNNNNNNNN. Corey”Fisher Price”Fisher moves for days. He’s almost like Mark Jackson should have went to St.Johns & ran the show. Would have gotten them in the tournamnet had they handed it over. He didn’t like how his elder statesman was handled & treated at St.Johns

    Some of the best handles some people/world never got to see because that’s supposedly not basketball.
