In a few more days the SneakerTUBE.tv contest ‘Rep Your Sneaker’Hood’ will draw to a close. Who knew there were Sneaker Fiends Unite! reps in India?
‘Rep Your Sneaker’Hood’ has reminded me to visit all my favorite haunts across the city for sneaker deals. Delancey Street is still the super come-up spot but I fell thru a few Bronx shops on Fordham Avenue to see what they had in store.
Calm down kids…
You can understand in the land of unmitigated hype how the trade that brings Carmelo Anthony to MSG also brings some unchecked expectations. We are really gonna need a center or a bonafide big man on the block grabbing boards. Amar’e Stoudemire fouled out in the fourth quarter with four only rebounds.
If the Knicks were a rebound by committee team like the Riley/Van Gundy era we might be able to really make some noise in the watered down Eastern Conference. Since only Boston and Miami actually believe in themselves these Knicks might could sneak into the divisional round of the tourney, but somebody other than the guards better start grabbing boards.
But for tonight, the atmosphere was off the chain. I found myself lurking around the garden to see if I could catch something for the second half. No dice on a ducat. The Association’s buzz right now is on a trillion. The trade of Deron Williams to the Nets nearly stole the thunder from ‘Melo’s debut.
‘Melo def lived up to the hype by scoring 27 points even if it took him an Iverson-ish 25 attempts. I’ll give him a pass on the poor field goal percentage since he also secured 10 rebounds during his time on the floor. I’m starting to see the vision that Donnie Walsh, the Knicks general manager, was formulating this past summer The Knicks are almost there. All they need is a little Dontrevius on the sideline.
Sean Price told me to stop fuxing with Snickers. He was like, “Snickers is made to look like a Black man’s penis, and what the fux is that nougat shit that always be hanging from people’s lips?” ROFL.
True to life if you’re a hardbody rapper you might should avoid candy bars before you end up spitting candy bars. So here’s a collection of pauseworthy candy bar pics. And don’t act like Sean P ain’t warn you…
Pitchers and catchers [ll] are back to work.
So the question I’m asking you sneakerfiends is… WWKGJD?
What Would Ken Griffey Jr. Do?
Be a swingman [ll].
The Knicks are looking like a traditional Western Conference team. Plenty of scorers and no defenders or rebounders. I welcome Carmelo Anthony to MSG, but I’m leery to anoint the Knicks as ‘chip contenders for the Eastern conference. We still need too many key players for the team defense to halt a squad like the Celtics or the Magic.
It is nice to see the Knicks building a team with bonafide parts tho’. I couldn’t score a scalped ticket earlier this season so I know getting into the Garden now is a wrizzap. Oh well, since the Knicks are owned by Cablevision I just better make sure I keep my cable bill current. Let’s go Knicks.
