Ever since the adidas adiZero Crazy Light was unveiled, people have been asking the same question: Is it really the lightest basketball shoe ever? As good scientists, the folks at adidas conducted several trials to test this assertion, and what you see below is what’s left of The Other Guys’ shoe (the Nike Hyperdunk 2010) to match 9.8 ounces. My question is, where did they get the samurai sword?

Jordanesque? That’s what a lot are saying. LeBron James (35 points) contributed all over the court in Miami’s 101-93 Game 4 win. This wasn’t about winning. It was merely surviving, making it through an overtime game where Wade didn’t play well and the Bulls refused to die.

That is Russell Westbrook. If he were an historical figure, I’d assume he’d be Alexander The Great (If you take anything away from this, remember that Alexander was Macedonian, not Greek).
