that's right, the staff of my company (Ontario Basketball) will face off against the staff of Canada Basketball and the Raptors staff tomorrow on the practice court of the ACC. i'm pretty hyped, i mean this is where CB$ and the boys do their thing. the really neat part is that we all get new Jordan's from Nike - sweat! i'll let you guys know how it all works out, hopefully we kick some butt and more importantly I make some serious connections. i haven't played in a long time and am really slow so i'm kinda worried about letting my teammates down but worst case scenario I'll just pass it out of the block. anything ya'll want me to look for and report on about the facility?
Locke, they are indeed the Jordan 23's! And they are damn nice (not to rub it in but I've haven't had a new pair of kicks in 10 years). I'll try to take some pics and post them here. KAS, we will kick some ass. Not me, but others on my team. I'm pretty sure there will be a scoresheet.
"it feels like I should be better in order to play on it" We're going to be wearing the team Ontario jersey's and matching track suits. Yeah, we're hot shit!
most of those that will be there today are the kinda big wigs. for example, i'll be guarding Masai Ujiri - well, I'll be watching him run past me at least. But I'll be sure to get a couple of sportstwo.com's in there. i got my camera and all my gear ready to go - now i just got to kill half a day a work and it's time to ball. actually for us marketing and comm peeps it's time to smooze, but i'm a pretty good multitasker so it should all work out.
I just got the Jordan 23's! Man are they nice. Serioulsy, the last new pair of basketball shoes I had was the green and white rebook's that Shawn Kemp rocked. "steady on the game is the man who makes it rain... this is my planet" long live the good ppl at Nike for hooking a ghetto dude up.
You should get a temp tattoo of Sportstwo.com on your head, like those boxers do. That'd be awesome! I trust you'll be posting pics of the Jordans, right?
yes, i'll be posting pics of me making out with my new shoes. good call, we should get denny to hook us up with some S2 temp tattoos. i'll admit, i teared up a bit when i saw the shoes.

so we kinda got our butts kicked but damn did we look good doing it. i got to meet some really big rollers that run basketball in this country so that was dope. i also meet this girl who might be the coolest chick ever. she got a D1 scholarship and can ball like nothing else. we had a moment at the bar and when i blocked here in the post. i wanted to hook up and make a draft pick but my g/f probably wouldn't appreciate it too much so i gave it to my hommie. i'm sooo sore today. the thing that really shocked me was that it wasn't my legs that let me down (still got a pretty huge vert) but my skinny little arms let me down. my shot was like three inches short every time, just no lift on it. i got to guard this 6'7, 250 + monster (I'm 6'3, 185), which was kinda fun only because I hacked him to death. i'll get some pics up over the weekend but check this out. Smitch was there watching us. at one point a boxed this dude out and grab a board then turn to Smitch, point and nod - he nodded back!
