Nicknamed the “Black Mamba,” you can see why Kobe Bryant’s favorite movie (and lethal nickname) provided the inspiration behind Nike’s new Kill Bill Pack featuring the Big Nike High and Auto Flight High. In addition to being an incredibly dangerous snake, “Black Mamba” was also the nickname of the deadliest member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, played by Uma Thurman. Read More »

Depending on who you ask, Stephen Curry passed Brandon Jennings for second place in the Rookie of the Year race weeks ago. (Tyreke Evans is still in the lead, while Hasheem Thabeet is in a close battle for 47th.) Then last night, Curry might have jacked the “Best Single-Game Performance, Rookie” trophy from Jennings’ mantle, posting a 36-point, 10-board, 13-dime triple-double as the Warriors 30-pieced the Clippers, adding three steals and seven triples for good measure.

Since arriving in Dallas late last night (I hopped on an earlier flight to avoid Snowmageddon), you can already tell that the city has an electric vibe to it. Throughout the week/weekend, I’ll be keeping y’all up-to-date on everything going on around town, and letting you know about all the player appearances that you can check out. That is, if you’re in town. First up, Brandon Jennings. Read More »
