Quickly Moving In Opposite Directions…

Houston beat fire out of the Knicks yesterday with a stellar performance from a volleyball player. That’s right. Houston reserve Chase Budinger scored 19 points on 7 for 12 shooting. Budinger could might as well be a professional surfer with the way the Knicks are playing defense right now. The Houston Rockets were without their leading scorer and playmaker Kevin Martin yet they still handed the Knicks their eighth loss in nine games.

The Knicks finished off their road trip skidding to a halt. While Carmelo Anthony nursed his injured ankle and wrists Amar’e Stoudemire was mired deep in a performance quandary. Who are these Knickerbockers anyhoo? When did they become so enamored with the three point shot? This almost reminds me of the ill-fated Pitino era at MSG. But at least Pitino could instruct his players on how to execute a half-court trap.

The D’Antoni led Knicks are uninspired to extend their defense past arms length. And now even the teams offense has left them lonely. I was absolutely convinced several weeks ago when I personally watched the Knicks lackluster home court efforts that Mike D’Antoni would not be coaching this team into Black History month. Well, I’ve still got two(2) days left to dream I guess?

Prison isn’t the final stop for people with a strong mind and a belief in themselves. Proof of that is DJ Benhameen, who featured his prison poetry on this episode of the Combat Jack Show, and special guest Maino, who endured ten years in prison only to return to reality and become a rap star.

These two examples are some of the only positive stories coming from the prison industrial complex. Oh yeah, and racist Pete.

Streetwear Is On My Agenda…

The Agenda tradeshow is a dope place to walk thru to see what will be trending in clothing designs for the upcoming year. Here’s a hint… All camo everything.

L.R.G. clothing is still doing some dope things. I was impressed with Fila and some of their designs. I met the man behind the Orisue brand. DC shoes has some flavor dropping also. But for my time and money I stay fuxing with Stussy. That for me is the alpha and omega of streetwear.

The saga of Dontrevius Wenters lives on as Terrence and I had a chance to bring Dontrevius into Madison Square Garden, but this time with a media credential.

Dontrevius walked on the hallowed hardwood and kicked it with fans and Knicks legends alike.
