Simply beautiful.

Of course this is purely hypothetical since Hawaii doesn’t have an NBA team but how far would Club 939 go to entice LeBron James? Would the hottest gentlemen’s club in Hawaii top the offer made by Scores in New York? If free agent LeBron signs with the Knicks, Scores is promising free access to the [...]

So Lebron James wins his second (and back-to-back) NBA MVP award, and Nike commemorates this accomplishment of their marquee star with a special shirt. Much respect. But check out the suggested “You might also like…” section further down the page. Kobe Bryant in the house! How about suggesting some Lebron kicks or clothing Nike? Where’s [...]

24 > 23, Obviously

by Gee Why on April 28, 2010

in Pulp

Kobe Bryant’s #24 jersey is the top selling jersey for the 2009-2010 NBA season. #24 beat out #23, Akron’s own Lebron James who I would have assumed to be the top seller as his success continues to grow. But not so, and I can kinda see why. The Lakers also rank #1 overall for team [...]

FIGHT!

Seeing brawls on the basketball court is not uncommon, but when female players are involved? There’s something you don’t see very often. Okay, this isn’t a brawl per se but…

Remembering Seth Sundberg

by Gee Why on September 26, 2009

in Pulp

It’s been a long time since center Seth Sundberg lumbered the court of the Stan Sheriff Center. He surely wasn’t a dominating force for UH in the paint, but he was serviceable for the collegiate game. Didn’t he get into an infraction or two? Those days are gone with Seth, also known as Franco Metcalf, [...]

The low cut LeBron’s look fresh. Double stacked Nike Zoom… ah who cares, look at the patent leather accents!

WaW Part 3 brought some unexpected basketball news last week Thursday. Off topic, but I was surprised to hear (through Twitter) that Team Kanno won the “B” Division Championship in the `Iolani Alumni Basketball League. I was even more surprised of the team name, Team Kanno, since their namesakes ain’t their Superman. Though his future [...]

Who knew Lakers Kobe Bryant was a local boy at heart? Must be all those Lakers training sessions in Hawaii. Thanks to @valdezign for the tip.

So far, the recent recruits of the UH Men’s Basketball team look good on paper. Joining guards Jeremy Lay and Dwain Williams is 7-footer Douglas Kurtz. He’s no stick at 270 pounds and can shoot (.671 field goal and .847 free throw percentage). Hope this Juco player can contribute at the D1 level for two [...]

Take a closer look at tourists visiting the Hawaiian Islands since one of them could very well be a fly white guy named Steve Nash. Yeah, that Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns is in Hawaii .

Stylin’ to a Lakers Game

by Gee Why on March 31, 2009

in Life

On the first day of our Southern California (Socal) vacation, I caught a Los Angeles Lakers basketball game. The Lakers played the Golden State Warriors, and I figured the game would be empty since the Warriors aren’t an NBA powerhouse. I was wrong. The attraction of Kobe, Pau, DFish, Odom, and Ariza brings the fans [...]

The Lake show!

Don’t know the history of this limited edition Air Jordan basketball, but it’s sure not meant for the court. Only 2323 of these made! Hypebeast has some details.

After watching this highlight reel of Legendary Larry Bird, he’s still an ill baller. Those funky moves and that all-seeing vision for some sick passes! Music background is by Eminem with some profanity.

Twitter Fans and Shaq Collide

by Gee Why on February 21, 2009

in Pulp

These are the stories you hope to happen to you one day. Two NBA fans and Twitter users were not believers of THE_REAL_SHAQ on Twitter. Could that really be Shaq Fu or just a 5-4, 14-year old poser? They found out the Twitter way after a chance Tweetup with the Shaqilicious. Read their story and [...]

NBA big man Shaquille O’Neal and me are baller brothers separated at birth. Yeah, right (but our birthdays are almost the same). Anyways, before the 2009 NBA All Star Game even began, Shaq started off the All Star intros proper jamming with the Jabbawockees. Even after all these years banging in the NBA, I can’t [...]

Nike continues to promote Kobe Bryant and his signature shoes with the latest “NotMyBrokenAnkles” campaign. Here is part of the message Kobe released as President of Ankle Insurance Co.: Broken ankles can happen at anytime. Don’t let your friends, loved ones or opponents suffer from slow game any longer. If your superior quickness has ever [...]
