    There’s a good article on CNBC today by Jabari Young talking about a new business venture Dame is involved with. It also summarizes his situation with the Blazers.

    "I want to be here, and I think they want me here."

    Have we polled this?

    Let’s see: $39M this season from basketball, $15M from endorsements, who knows how much from multiple other businesses and his music career.

    I think it’s safe to say that the man won’t have to worry about keeping a roof over his family’s heads. Well deserved too.

    "Support the homies!" could be their motto, although it would be better as a jockstrap.

    I'm curious if there's anything special about the insoles, or is it purely youth marketing like the article hints at? Because, there are plenty of perfectly good sports insoles out there already.

    "Its the Kelvin Blevins of Arch Support!"

    I mean, they seem high quality enough. They seem better or on par so far compared to the Superfeet Insoles I've used in the past. I think they are just marketed towards basketball players (which I'm not, but I do have flat feet and need some arch support).

    as someone who has tried orthotics for plantar fasciitis before, i'm curious to see how well these work.

    Then again... i've retired from pickup ball so might not really matter any more.

    they worked extremely well for me, but I was well past the age of playing basketball. Still, I was in a lot of pain before custom orthotics, and immediately after getting them the pain went away
