Hoops This Week!!!!

What's crackin' off YB?!?!

Anybody else crazy excited for the start of the NBA season this week?! I CAN'T WAIT! Been waiting for this for months!! See the new Jordan brand commercial? Break to Build? If not, Youtube that joint ASAP! Crazy to see that D-Wade got scooped up by Team Jordan, happy to see him with CP3, Jeter and Melo in that commercial with out a doubt. Anyone had a chance to read the new SLAM with Shaq and Lebron on the cover? Pretty solid NBA preview in there, I enjoyed it. Also, the Hall of Fame tribute to Jordan (SLAM) has the best Jordan article I've ever read written by Scoop Jackson. It's called "Are You There God? It's Me, Scoop Jackson." I've never read an article where the author was literally able to capture the feeling that I'm certain EVERY basketball fan has felt at some time about MJ. Awesome article, and I'm planning on framing it! Definitely worth checking out if you get a chance!

My weekend was pretty busy as I was in 4 different states in 3 days. I was in Seattle on Thursday night for an event to promote the new K18 equipment line, so that was a lot of fun and I got some great feedback on the equipment line. Then, I headed to San Fran on Friday morning for another K18 promotional event and had a blast there with some GREAT kids and a great retailer (Sling It). Then, Sat morning it was off to Denver to play a scrimmage with the Outlaws (MLL team) against DU, which was a lot of fun. I played terrrrrrrribly as I had a new stick and couldn't figure out how to throw or shoot with it, so I kept throwing the ball all over the place! But, Drew Westervelt (Outlaw attackmen) KILLED it as usual and had 7Gs! So, we won and it was a great day of lacrosse in Denver.

There's a new project involved out here in LA called the LXM PRO Tour! I'll be dedicating the my next blog this week to explaining what a cool and exciting project LXM is! In the mean time, check out LXMPRO.com and learn a little bit about the tour! I can't wait for our first event on November 21st! Going to be awesome!

I'm around Marina Del Rey all week, which is exciting as I haven't been home for an entire week in quite some time! Going to be able to get a bunch of solid work outs in with the trainers and get a lot of work done, definitely a good feeling. We've got our last weekend of US Training team work outs coming up this weekend in Stony Brook, and then the final 23 guys will be selected next week sometime. It's been a lot of fun being a part of the US process again and being with all of the guys. All 40 guys on the training team are talented enough to be on the squad, so it's going to be a tough team to pick for the coaches.

Scooped up a few movies this week, Transformers (2), The Proposal, and Wolverine: Origins, so my flights have been entertaining for the most part!

That's about all I've got for now! Need to get a little work done before hooping in a few hours! I'll catch up with you all in a day or two!

Have a GREAT Monday!
