The Lady Mustangs pose for a flick after entertaining the crowd at ‘55th.

I stopped over at the Entertainer’s Basketball Classic on Monday night to show my fellow “ball girls” some love, and the game I caught definitely lived up to the “E” in its billing. The ladies’ took their turn on the hallowed court to give a good sized Harlem crowd something to “ooh” and “aah” about.

On this night, Guess Who? rocking the purple/gold uni’s took on a stacked Lady Mustangs squad donning independence white/red/blue. From jump ball, both teams showed off their skills in the front and backcourt. To quote MSG’s main man Clyde Frazier, “There was an array of dishing and swishing,” early in this contest. One of the best parts of the game was the point guard battle between GW’s Tylesha Brown and LM’s Zetta “The Show-Off” Martin. These women went at it, getting I-so after I-so to do their thing. It got so heated that even the crowd started demanding clear outs for them. Read More »

Nike Air Max 1 Premium Lumberjack Pack on my younger sis

“It was all a dream…” until I woke up and saw these ill butters on my sister’s feet at a family gathering a few weeks ago. I showed up in my varsity royal Kool Bob “Puerto Rico Pack” exclusives thinking I would be the only one in the place rocking heat. Man was I wrong.

She came through, in straight “Retro Kid” fashion, rocking a red/black lumberjack shirt to match the collar of those fire kicks. Needless to say, the coordination was bananas! Seems like BallGurl’s not the only female in the family with a “JUICY” (pause) sneaker game.

While she’s a whole lot braver than me to wear flannel in 2008, I’m super proud of my lil sis for her choice in footwear. Biggie would surely be hyped to see his lyrics put to such a fashionable use as well. Cheers to style, substance, and continued inspiration…

T-Shirt for SPC Basketball Camp

I can’t believe it’s been a week since I’ve been on here. I took some time away from the blog to work a couple of camps at my school and earn a little extra money to support my ridiculous sneaker habit. In the end, everything went copacetic. Read More »
