I’m not going to lie, I had an entire article already typed up and ready to go, explaining my thoughts on the Spurs winning the 2013 NBA championship…  Select all and delete. One thing is for sure about this game, you can expect to see it on NBATV for years to come as one of the most exciting playoff games of Lebron James career. But please let me be VERY clear here, Lebron James stat line was somewhat deceiving. If

Of all of the gifts I was given for Fathers Day it was the gift given to me by the San Antonia Spurs that I cherish the most, a 114-104 victory. I’m only joking… a little. I know I picked the Spurs to fall to the Heat in 6 games, but as of Tuesday night the Spurs have the opportunity to eliminate the Heat in 6, and I couldn’t be more disappointed in Lebron James. This series has given Lebron the chance to solidify hi

All I could do was shake my head while watching the Spurs shoot three pointers.   16 three pointers to be exact.  The Heat seemed lost and out of sync, but a loss is usually expected when a team plays their first game on the road in a series.  Although what’s not expected is to get beaten by 36 points (deep down I was hoping the Spurs scored four more points helping the Heat over take the Lakers worst playoff loss to

Well after an exciting finish to Game one of the NBA Finals we now had to witness this Game 2… or as I would call it the absence of the Spurs. I don’t want to go out and say that the only reason the Heat won was because some of the Spurs had an off night. In fact NO ONE can say that! We are talking about a team that has been in the Finals three consecutive times.   You do not simply win games because the other team h

With the start of the 2013 NBA Finals I was faced with a sporting dilemma. Cheer for one of two teams, both of which I hate, or not watch the Finals all together.  I decided to cheer for (in my opinion) the lesser of two evils, the Spurs.  I mean as a basketball fan you have got to respect Tim Duncan, one of the greatest centers/power forwards to play the game, and a team that is consistent with their basketball fund

This past week we had the chance to go and view an art exhibit at the Known Gallery on Fairfax Ave. in Los Angeles.  The exhibit was titled “Out of Left Field” and was done by New York artist Pat Riot.  We have not been to many of these art shows before so to be honest we didn’t truly know what to expect.  Upon entering we grabbed a bag of complimentary peanuts and headed into the exhibit.   Just as most of us Pat’s

In 1997 Jeff Staple started making t-shirt designs for his friends while going to school.  Shortly after he started silk screening tees for his friends, local businesses started noticing his work and the rest is history.  He now has a company called StapleDesign.com, which is a creative agency that has an art gallery, print magazine, retail store, and clothing line. Staple is one of the heavy hitters in the streetwar

In 2012 the Coachella Music Festival and DDMG (Digital Domain Media Group) took everyone in attendance for a wild ride when they had a surprise performance by a virtual Tupac Shakur.  The hologram of Tupac performed flawlessly along side Snoop Dogg and left everyone who saw it speechless. Shortly after the performance it was reported that Dr. Dre (not a real doctor by the way) paid upwards of $400,000 to make this ha

The Larry O’ Brien Trophy is the sacred object hoisted up by best team at the end of the NBA season. Larry O’Brien was once the Post Master General for the United States of America and later became the commissioner of the NBA from 1975 to 1983. The trophy that was renamed the Larry O’Brien Trophy  and was originally called the Walter A. Brown Trophy.  They renamed it in honor of Larry O’Brien and the work he did as c

One of the recent things to get attention in mainstream sports, is the idea of custom kicks.  Custom kicks have been around for awhile but with the rising trend of players no longer signing shoe contracts (allowing them to wear what ever shoes they want until the perfect opportunity presents itself) custom kicks are on a rise.  Now with some pro hoopers taking interest, we are starting to see these shoes make their w
