And I didn't know this song was for the "More Than A Game" movie

Typically I refuse to ever mention ANYONE'S name in the Jordan debate, but...

LeBron in France. from Good Produce on Vimeo.

I mean who else, since Jordan, has had this type of global appeal and marketability? Let's not even look at the comparison of their games because we know Jordan's was more polished overall, but as far as marketability....Lebron is surely working towards Jordan status. Will he ever get there??? Probably not just because I mean Jordan is JORDAN! But with the way Lebron's shoes are coming along and the way his game is steadily progressing I think it's just a matter of time Lebron becomes the NBA.

I've changed my mind on these Spizike Boots....HOT!

Complex continuously has the hottest covers!

Gettin' These!

These look sweet! And the fact that they're called the "Fresh Since 1985" Spizikes is even hotter because I was born in '85 and we all know how fresh I am. lol

BLD (Bad Life Decision): Kanye Stealing Taylor Swift's Shine

You all already know what happened. It's been the most talked about event from the VMAs. Not his best moment.

Popcorn Theatre: 12 Angry Men

This 1957 drama starring Henry Fonda is an amazing movie following the interactions of 12 jurors as they decide on the fate of a young man accused of murder in the first degree. If you haven't already seen it I highly recommend that you do so. As usual, I'm not going to get in depth about the plot because I feel as though you should just take my word for it. IT'S GREAT!

Gonna be a hot video!

Why JB Why??????

This is DEFINITELY one of the worst decisions Jordan Brand has ever made! And I thought the 13 Fusions were bad!...

How on earth did the Nylons & Vandals get so high on the list???

I can certainly appreciate the time it took Complex to make this list even if I don't agree with a lot of the selections. Also....I hate the fact that I have like none of these shoes except for the Dirty Denims and I painted over those to make my own customs a few months back!! lol Check out the full list here.

Popcorn Theatre: Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

"Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" is a 1967 dramatic film starring Sidney Poitier, Spencer Tracy, and Katharine Hepburn. This groundbreaking story focuses on the taboo subject of interracial marriage in the late 60s which actually had JUST become legal in every state the year the movie was released. Do yourself a favor and check it out. Great dialogue. Great acting. And great message.

I feel like I'd date a girl who rocked a pair of these...

This is truly incredible!

A Jacksonville researcher has developed a way of sewing up patients after hysterectomies that stands to reduce the risk of complications and simplify the tricky procedure for less-seasoned surgeons. Oh, and he's 14 years old. Feel free to read that again. Tony Hansberry II is a ninth-grader who, as it happens, will be presenting his findings today before an auditorium filled with doctors just like any of his board-certified - and decades older - colleagues would. He would say he was following in the footsteps of "Doogie Howser, M.D." - if he weren't too young to have heard of the television show. Instead, he says that his remarkable accomplishments are merely steps toward his ultimate goal of becoming a University of Florida-trained neurosurgeon. "I just want to help people and be respected, knowing that I can save lives," said Tony, the son of a registered nurse mom and an African Methodist Episcopal church pastor dad. To be sure, he had some help along the way, but, then again, most researchers do. The seeds of his project were planted last summer during his internship at the University of Florida's Center for Simulation Education and Safety Research, based at Shands Jacksonville. To understand why a teenager would be a hospital intern, it's important to know that Tony is a student down the street from Shands at Darnell-Cookman Middle/High School, a magnet school geared toward all things medical. (Students, for example, master suturing by the eighth grade.) At the simulation center, where medical residents and nurses practice on dummies, the normally shy student warmed up to the center's administrative director, Bruce Nappi. In turn, Nappi, a problem-solver with a Massachusetts Institute of Technology aeronautics degree, found someone willing to learn. One day, an obstetrics and gynecology professor asked the pair to help him figure out why no one was using a handy device that looks like a dipstick with clamps at the end, called an endo stitch, for sewing up hysterectomy patients. In other procedures, it proved its worth for its ability to grip pieces of thread and maneuverability. What Tony did next is so complicated that the professor who suggested the project has to resort to a metaphor to explain it: "Instead of buttoning your shirt side to side, what about doing it up and down?" Brent Seibel said. Here's the literal explanation: The problem was that the endo stitch couldn't clamp down properly to close the tube where the patient's uterus had been. Tony figured that by suturing the tube vertically instead of horizontally, it could be done. And he was right. Nappi said he came up with the idea but didn't tell Tony, letting him come to the conclusion himself. "It was truly independent that he figured it out," Nappi said, adding that a representative for the device's manufacturer told him that the endo stitch had never been used for that purpose. Tony's unpracticed hands were able to stitch three times faster with the endo stitch vs. the conventional needle driver. Further study may prove whether the same is true for more experienced surgeons, Seibel said. In addition to cutting surgical time, the technique may help surgeons who don't do many hysterectomies because it's easier to use the endo stitch, he added. Tony's presentation today is part of UF's medical education week, a time to spotlight teaching advancements, a hospital spokeswoman said. Tony often speaks in the highly technical, dispassionate language of doctors. In that respect, he's not the exception but the rule at Darnell-Cookman, said Angela TenBroeck, the school's medical lead teacher. But he has surged ahead of others when it comes to surgical skills. "I would put him up against a first-year med student," she said. "He's an outstanding young man, and I'm proud to have him representing us."

How amazing is this game gonna be?!?!?!

I've been waiting for this game to be released for a minute because the first two games were ridiculous! Apparently scheduled to release in March of 2010. Just in time for my birthday.

Question of the Week

If she let you beat in the first week is it still possible that she could be "THE ONE?"

What I call a good day at work

So I was at work today returning an issue of XXL (on which Jeezy's knuckles looked like he just finished fightin' someone before tha shoot) to the shelves. And as I put the magazine away I noticed one copy of the new Complex magazine cover with Keri Hilson and Kid Cudi sittin' there! I didn't even know we sold Complex at my store so I HAD to snatch it up! Then I looked on the bottom shelf and noticed this Hall of Fame Collector's ESPN Magazine all about Jordan so that had to get copped as well! Funny how the little things like this can really help make your day. lol

If these dropped would you cop?

I had a debate with my dude about the Air McFly. He said they wouldn't be functional or even all that sweet if they dropped fa real. I, however, beg to differ!

Decadent Decade: 1930s

I'd have to say that the movie Idlewild definitely made me fall in love with the fashion of the 1930s. Not to be all on his team or nothin', but Andre 3000 just really made the style of the 30s pop. Part of me sometimes wishes that we could go back to a time where it was customary for a man to have on a suit whenever he left the house and a hat adorning the top of his head 95% of the time. And in this case I'm not referring to fitteds. lol. I mean fedoras and pork pie hats. Stuff like that. Now I can't say that I'm too fond of the double breasted suit look of the 30s. And I most likely couldn't pull off the high-waisted pants due to my Carlton Banks stature, but still....there's just something about this era of fashion that I'm drawn too. Like I said before....perhaps it was just the movie Idlewild that did it to me. But I do like the long tails of the tuxedos. Not for EVERY event, but it sure seemed a classy look to hit 'em with from time to time. One style from the 30s that I KNOW I'd love to rock back then, however, is the plus fours! Man! I fell like I'd be able to put together a mean fit with those. For those of you wondering what those are, plus fours are trousers that extend 4 inches (10 cm) below the knee (and thus four inches longer than traditional knickerbockers, hence the name). I took that from Wikipedia. lol. You may also know them as "golf pants." I think the vest look of the 30s works for me too. As many of you may know that I'm certainly a fan of vest since I'm frequently seen rocking them during nights on the town. But with all that in mind, I'd have to say that I love looking back at previous decades and seeing what kind of fashions and styles were in at the time; especially when you start to notice them coming back and influencing today's fashion. Sorry, ladies for not focusing too much on your 30s-wear, but I couldn't have worn your clothes anyway so tough cookies! lol Naw I'm just playin'. I may throw some women's clothing in for the next decade I highlight. But until then....enjoy!

August Sneaker Battle: 60+ vs. True Blue 3s

Well I'll be the first to admit that I think it's quite obvious who won this one, but I still thought it would be fun to start the competition off with these two online purchases. So you be the judge....Rob's (shameless Urbane plug HERE) True Blue 3s or my black/red 60+s?

Why do I love black and red shoes so much?

That blue Jumpman on the laces does it for me though! Great accent.
