SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

We Major!

SFU chairman from the DMV district Jaislayer told us to fall thru this spot called Major when we were posted up in D.C.

Major is located in the hallowed ‘hood of Georgetown on Wisconsin Avenue. I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect when I got to the store but I was immediately overtaken by how much the store reminded me of a sneaker fiends playpen. These dudes have EVERY shoe ever made. Okay, that was an exaggeration but they definitely have at least twice the active stock of any sneaker boutique. These dudes are holding heat. I saw several editions of the Dunk Trainer shoes that I am smitten with as well as hard to find Air Maxes and adidas.

I kicked it with the store managers who were actually familiar with this site and the i.C. movement. I was even comped a Major DC x New Era fitted cap. They called this piece the KRS-3M which is flyboy speak for Kente Reflective System featuring 3M materials. I usually come up on fitted caps that are inspired by my sneaker acquisitions. This will be the first time that I have ever had a fitted inspire me to copp a pair of kicks.

Major isn’t just a sneaker store but an official streetwear brand repping the DMV hardbody. Their logo is clean and professional like something I would expect to see on a Capitals jersey. I wouldn’t be surprised either if they had a fitted to rock out with the latest version of the Washington Caps colorways. I should have asked if they had those Dunk Trainer Hi’s in a size 12. On my next trip to the DMV I won’t be so shy. Major is that officialness.

The Metaphor In Real LIfe…

plax

Of shooting oneself in the foot, except this meatball couldn’t even get that part correct. PLAXICO BURRESS went from having a screw loose to becoming a loose cannon, literally. The metaphor in real life.

BURRESS hasn’t really been a part of the team this season as the Giants defend their ‘Any Given Sunday’ Super Bowl victory. Dude was hanging out at a nightclub while on the injured list. I think we can all see where his head is at right now. This dude might be fucking around with DWIGHT GOODEN’s white pudding if you know what I mean? ANTONIO PIERCE also. PIERCE tried to hide PLAXICO’s gun after the incident. WTF is wrong with these foolios?

The NFL should suspend both of these meatwads. PLAXICO for carrying an unlicensed biscuit and PIERCE for absconding with said biscuit. When did the NFL become the Association? Sure RAY LEWIS merc’ked some fools a few years back, then there was that dude from the Broncos who got popped in a Denver ‘hood, and yes SEAN TAYLOR was killed by a gunshot to the leg, but when did the NFL become so enveloped with gunplay?

Notice I conveniently left out Pac Man Jones who shot up a club in Vegas after making it rain and watching people pick up the raindrops. Now that Pac Man is playing for the Cowboys I need his ass to stay on the field and out of the clink. But the Giants, they can burn in hell. Except for crazy ass LAWRENCE TAYLOR. That’s my nigga right there.

M.S.G. Is The Land Of The Loss…

lol

LOL = Not Funny

Here’s how I get down. I fucks with baseball hardbody until the last game of the season ubless the World Series is some corny shit like the White Sox, Devil Rays, St. Louis or Philadelphia. Otherwise I shift to football in the Fall and Winter. I don’t start really fucksing with the Association until the NFL Playoffs. By then it is late December and still fairly early in the season. Most teams let their rosters have a few months to gel before the midway point in the season and the trading deadline looms.

The NY Knicks have another new head coach to begin the season with so I assumed there wouldn’t be anything too much going on with them until January or February. Guess what? The Knicks get on some back page hater shit and try to rip the headlines from the Super Bowl champ Giants and the improbable Jets by trading their two(2) best players. Huh?!? How did this happen? Isn’t ISIAH THOMAS off sleeping away the million dollar migraine that his angry lesbian assistant socked him with? Who the fuck pulled the trigger on this deal?

the mgmt

The Mgmt = ISIAH x DOLAN x WALSH

No matter who the Knicks have sitting in the top spot there is some bad judgment being displayed. JAMAL CRAWFORD and ZACK RANDOLPH were the only two Knicks with game on a night-in, night-out basis. Who the hell is going to score the basketball for these guys now. The Knicks are going to have to lead the league in field goal attempts at 200 per game if we want to get into the playoffs this year.

No one on the team except cheezburger DAVID LEE is shooting better than 50% from the field. As a matter of fact, our latest acquisition AL HARRINGTON is shooting better from 3pt. range than he is from inside the arc. That is NEVER a good thing even if you were LARRY BIRD. I can’t see why LeBRON would even want to bother signing with the Knicks as a free agent? He can get the same endorsement money from the Italian league and way better pasta at 3am.

NY Is 4 Losers

I’m sorry that Starbury didn’t have the triumphant return to NYC that we had all hoped for the lil’ big skull boy. It’s time now for dude to go into one of those pylon portals and transport himself to another dimension or maybe just back in time, when he was really good, and NY basketball was worth watching.

Damn! That fool skullpiece is jurassic.

The Association: FreeDarko Is Macrophenomenal…

free darko

FreeDarko.com has transformed roundball viewing into the sweet science of spectation.

Was basketball ever this intuitive and wordy prior to this website?

No.

It was mostly just people making bounce passes in tight pants.

As I await my recently purchased FreeDarko tees in the mail I am also excited to see the authors from the only basketball website in the world will be reading excepts from their newly released tome on the scientific art of hardwood dancing in my town.

nba china

Basketball is the global game now. My sincere apologies to futbol. However, let’s give credit where credit is due. Millions of people play soccer around the world, but basketball is now the shit in China and they have a billion people living in their country. Do the math on how many club teams can come out of the Qinghai province alone. Trust me, it’s alot.

I like to watch NBA basketball still even though my Knicks are asshatting through this season, except for JAMAL CRAWFORD. My biggest hurdle for catching Association tilts is the fact that I don’t have cable service at the moment. There was a lost payment (or several) that didn’t make it to JIM DOLAN, the Knicks owner’s other company; Cablevision. I’m calling this a protest for the poor management of NYC’s beloved basketball team.

I actually plan to pay my bill soon though because I don’t think I can afford to go through the entire season watching games at the place I go to now. I visit my favorite Chinese takeout kitchen to peep the games since the owner is a super NBA fan. Sonn bought the NBA Season Ticket or League Pass or whatevs its called. Dude is a hardbody Rockets fan thanks to MING YAO. I hope the Rockets make it to the Finals this year. Because I know KENNY will be giving me a free order of his bulletproof fried chicken wings.

The Association is pork fried ricetastic!
