I'm always interested in videos, shorts etc that Nike does...so I'm posting this to share.  There are various athletes that you may recognize.  Check it out.

EIGHTYS BABY APPAREL BMX SQUAD: MIKE DUNN

E.B.A BMX Squad | Mike Dunn from Evesborough Films on Vimeo.

Shouts to E Dub, he captured some dope footage of one Eightys Baby Apparel's BMX riders Mike Dunn, had Danny Ocean edit it and made this cool video.  Check it out and don't forget to get your EBA gear right over here.  And expect to see more of these video profiles coming soon.

2NITE: LOS ANGELES LAKERS at OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER, 5PM PST

Yeah this goes down tonight...and be warned I'm seeing that the chemistry is slowly coming together for the team.  Interested to see how KD does tonight...other than that OKC can just bow down and give us this L, thanks.

LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS - NEW FACES, NEW WAYS???

So with these new additions and if some of the leftovers are healthy the Clippers could cause some problems as well as make some notable noise this year, rather than the usual "damn they suck" or "they always find a way to lose" comments. I'm stoked that Blake Griffin is in LA, I'm hoping Baron has a better season, Eric Gordon & Al Thornton are good, Craig Smith is home and I'm a Sebastian Telfair fan so...I'm hoping he can make a name here in LA. And if Baron can groom him, ya'll should be scared for all back up PG's. But it's still LAKERS over here.

UNDRCRWN - ENCORE COLLECTION

Undercrown aka UNDRCRWN just dropped their Encore Collection today...check it out here for more details shots. Also if you go here you can get a breakdown of each of the shirts. I'm feeling alot of these, and the photoshoot with the bobblehead mask is comedy.

LAKERS vs CLIPPERS; LAST NIGHT

Let's just say they made it look alot closer then it should've been...but hey it's 2 LA teams, one of the few primetime games and Kobe & Baron on the floor at the same time.  Gotta keep the audience tuned in.  But at the end of the day...the better team prevailed...GO LAKERS!!!

LAKERS - TEXAS 2 STEP

So after getting served in Portland, the Lakers were able to bounce back and beat two Texas teams in a back to back set of games.  You already know about what they did to Houston, but last night a balanced attack and swarming defense was able to contain the Spurs (even with a 2nd Half surge).  As you can see by the pics there were some unlikely heroes...the D made it hard for Duncan and San Antonio to ever regain a lead; and players like Luke Walton were able to come up with some big plays on both ends of the floor.  They play Dallas at Staples next.  Let's go squad!!!

THAT'S BETTER...DAMN LAKERS

After them upsetting me the other night, i didn't want to post anything about them yesterday...but they made up for it (somewhat) last night.  So they are at an impressive 15-2 early on...but I need them to really go in for about 5 games...then squeeze out another 5 or so.  Then I'll be feeling good again.  Anyway they need to work on that defense against these Wizards on Friday night.

LA DODGERS = NLCS

I don't really get into baseball...but word on the streets is that our hometeam that gave us the famous "logo" is doing they thing. So for those of ya'll who needed to know or just wanted to be able to embed this places for bragging rights...here u are.

Props to E Dub.

NBA TIME...

So Media Day & Training Camps have officially started today...and that means my favorite sports season is underway. And this year our home teams are expected to make some noise...and I expect our LAKERS right back in those FINALS (heard me?)

Manny Ramirez = LA Dodger

I don't get into baseball...but the dude with all the funny hairdo's from the Boston Red Sox just got traded to THE CITY. He should fit right in...if not on the field, definitely off. For all you Dodger fans hopefully this is something that interests u...

Russell Westbrook goes in for his debut...

Russell Westbrook scored 18 points in his NBA Summer League debut. This is his official 1st NBA action. If this is an indication of his season...then I feel bad for doubting the UCLA product. Stay Tuned. Sidenote: Now that Seattle has moved to Oklahoma City, they have left all their colors and logo rights with Seattle...so for the Summer League the once Sonics are just Oklahoma City and rock black and white...lookin real JV!!!

Update: Russell scored 19 points in his 2nd day of action...

Kobe - Something to Know and Ponder...

Something to ponder on this weekend, especially if you're a Laker, or maybe just a basketball fan. Last night Kobe kicked off his 2nd Annual children's basketball camp at LMU. As tradition goes, there is a "celebrity" scrimmage on the first night. Well last year I watched Kobe and OJ Mayo go at it..well until Kobe showed why strength is important in the NBA game. Anyways, Trevor Ariza was there...and later in the season he's a Laker. Well guess who decided to hoop with Kobe last night...Ron Artest & Carlos Boozer. Think about that and the trade rumors surrounding Ron and Carlos...don't wanna get ya hopes up...but think about it and tell me it doesn't seem interesting.

Baron Davis: Homecoming?

So Baron opted out and has become an unrestricted Free Agent in the NBA today...and plenty rumors are swirling that he could be looking to come home, and may have a secret arrangement through an NBA friend to be considered a pickup. With Elton Brand and Corey Maggette opting out as well...the local team seems to be the Clippers because unlike the Lake Show, they would now have money under the cap to pay Baron. Stay Tuned...

LA Lakers = NBA FINALS

This was a great start to my weekend...LA stand the f*** UP!!!

L.A. Uprising 2.0

Down by 20 points in the 3rd Quarter, Mr. MVP aka Mr. 81 led the home team to a close victory over the defending NBA Champs.  If they can keep this up...I'll be happier come my b'day.

KOBE = MVP (officially)

So now it's official, the hardware has been given to Kobe Bryant, repping LA city. Kob, just tell em this:  BIG UPS, TO ALL MY HATEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! HAHA!

MVP, MVP, MV...oh he won?

I ain't gotta yell it out anymore, it's official...KOBE will receive that MVP hardware this week.  It's about time he got it...dude makes the most money for the NBA over the last 3 years...CONGRATS Mr. Ocho Uno.  LA stand up!!!

LA STAND UP...YESSIR

LAKER FANS, STAND UP!!!
