Day 179: Kenny Powers is the MFCEO! - Hilarious K-Swiss Promo (Video)

Konichiwa b*tches! hahaha! Kenny Powers is my f*kin idol!! =P

A lot of my friend's have been posting this all around facebook so I just had to share this on my blog for ya'll. This is a hilarious 5-minute promo for K-Swiss featuring Kenny Powers as the MFCEO and cameos with a whole bunch of athletes.

If you haven't seen Eastbound & Down on HBO yet then I suggest you go watch it if you got a kick out of this commercial. That show is freakin mad funny!

Day 123: The New Look for Adidas ft. Derrick Rose, Katy Perry, B.o.B. & More

I've been seeing this cool "Adidas is all in" campaign going on a lot recently, and I just want to share this new commercial they've unveiled. It's a very motivating & uplifting commercial featuring some of their top athletes & musical artists such as Derrick Rose, Katy Perry, B.o.B., and more.

I really like how they tie in music & sports together, and I can see why because being a professional athlete or a widely-known musician require so much hard work if you want to compete with the best and stay on top of the game.

I'm starting to like where Adidas is heading as a brand right now. I'm all in.

Good lookin Shimp-Dizzle for showing me this one =)

TGIF!

Day 81: "Quick Can't Be Caught" with CP3 & his new shoe (Videos)

- Don't blink because this commercial goes by quick!

If you're familiar with the recent "Fast Don't Lie" commercials (I did post them before.. hello!) by Adidas featuring Derrick Rose then you'll understand how the Jordan Brand (by Nike) is trying to one-up their competition with the "Quick Can't be Caught" commercials featuring Chris Paul.

In this new series of "quick" commercials, Chris Paul is promoting his new signature shoe called the CP3.IV which look pretty dope. If you haven't seen the shoe yet then check them out below:


- More pictures & info about the shoe can be found at: Dimemag.com

I actually own a pair of the original CP3's but I've worn them out so much playing bball that I may have to retire them soon. These were my most favorite shoes to play in (granted they were my only "real" bball shoes before; thanks Dex!) as it had such a nice soft cushion with every step I took and made me feel light on my feet. The only thing I didn't like was how it looked but as you can see the CP3.IV's are 10x more awesome now.

Any shoe fanatics out there? I think I'm becoming one as I'm starting to like shoes just as much as I like music & food. Since living here in Los Angeles, I've gone out more often than before to check out the different local shoe shops in the area and I've even been out to a few sneaker events. To add onto that, my roommate (aka Shimp-deezy) is big on shoes so he kind of got me into it too.

My shoe obsession is growing so I may branch out my blog a bit and start posting up any cool shoes I find (bball, casual, any type of shoe). I think it's time to get myself an xmas present =D

Saw the CP3.IV's here first: Solecollector.com

Day 80: What is Steve "The Franchise" Francis doing now? (Video)

- He's so OG that he'll play on a bad ankle while the ice pack is still on. LOL.

I just read this Yahoo article not too long ago about Steve Francis (former NBA All-Star), and it appears he's still ballin it up in a league over in China for a team called the Beijing Ducks. He saw his first action the other day as he was called into the game knowing he was injured with a bad ankle (look at that ice pack!). Regardless, he played but only got to see about 3 minutes of action so it wasn't a big deal.

I'm really surprised there is actually news about "The Franchise" since his departure from the NBA. I swear he just fell off a cliff, and everybody just forgot about him & moved on. I can't even remember the last NBA team he played for, but I do remember when he was a Houston Rocket busting out some flashy moves as he had crazy handles and mad hops for a point guard his size. Granted the team wasn't that great at the time, I still liked him back then during the days he played alongside Cuttino Mobley (old school yo!).

Here's a news report from China that proves he's still playing bball:


- This clip just shows a glimpse of him entering the game which was enough for them to win

On the topic of forgotten NBA players, I heard Stephon Marbury is also playing in the same Chinese league as Steve Francis so that should boost up their fanbase overseas... or maybe not.

Day 66: A message from Jordan to Lebron (Video)

MJ is right; stop making excuses! This is an recent commercial **edited video that just came about Michael Jordan responding to Lebron James' Rise commercial ("What should I do?..."). When MJ comes out and talks like that, you know he means business! Hopefully this will help Lebron with how he thinks about the game and being in the NBA. Nice video btw; MJ you're awesome.

Props to my homie Beavs for showing me this one. =)

**Correction: This was an edited video that took an old MJ commercial and mashed it up with this one. Still, it makes sense though and Lebron should listen to this as if it were really MJ talking about him, haha!

Day 53: Cleveland's response to Lebron's recent Nike Commercial (Video)

I'm sure everybody's seen this video by now as it went viral on Friday, but I just wanted to post it here to make it OFFICIAL news (haha!). Maan, Cleveland fans just won't stop at making fun of Lebron James any way they can and this will probably continue for the rest of Lebron's NBA career. I'll give the Cleveland fans credit though, they did a good job with adding their perspective about Lebron's career in Cleveland by pointing out all his failures. This is some funny stuff yo!

Preface: Lebron James recently came out with a new Nike "Rise" Commercial talking about what he "should" do (or should've done) in response to all the critics about his decision to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers and join Dwyane Wade & Chris Bosh to the Miami Heat.

Props to my boy Steve back in the Bay for showing this to me first. Very funny!

Day 52: What is Kobe doing in a "Call of Duty" commercial? SMH... (Video)

Kobe Bryant of the LA Lakers must have been super bored after winning the NBA Championship, and decided to play a lot of "Call of Duty" during the offseason to appear in a commercial for the video game. Granted this is probably the hottest first-person shooter game out there right now but c'mon Kobe, don't you have better things to do? Ohh look, I bet he plays online with Jimmy Kimmel too! (sarcastic voice) SMH Kobe... smh...

I must say though that this is a cool & funny commercial in general. Pretty creative and definitely good for the video game.

Props to: VladTV

Day 47: Dwyane Wade aka Agent D3 - New Commercial (Video)

It looks like Dwyane Wade came out with his own new commercial to help hype up the Miami Heat and their path to another ring, but in light of their first game of the season yesterday they didn't look like a championship team at all as they were no match against the Boston Celtics. Lebron James was mostly holding it down for the team while Wade & Bosh struggled to make shots. Although I had a feeling Boston would win this game anyways, I'm sure Wade & the Heat will easily bounce back from this loss. The season's only just begun...

Anyways, here's the cool commercial featuring Dwyane Wade as Agent D3 (mix of Iron Man & 007 theme):



And next, I suppose Chris Bosh will be coming out with his own commercial soon too, right?

Props to my boy Beaves for hookin me up with this one. Btw, I still liked the Miami Heat before Lebron & Bosh came into the picture. D-WAAAAADE! =P

Day 46: What "should" Lebron do? - New Nike Commercial (Video)

Ever since Lebron James decided to join the Miami Heat during this offseason, he's been negatively criticized by his fans, the media, and just about everybody & their mamas talking about what he "should" have done.

With that said, this new Nike commercial with Lebron puts a stop to all the offseason thoughts & madness he's been going through as he just wants to stay focused on the upcoming season of NBA basketball. Nice timing right before the season starts, right?


- This isn't about what LeBron James has done, or hasn't done. This is about the difference between the expectations others may have of him versus the expectations he has of himself. What should he do? The answer is a question. 

We'll have to see if Lebron can stay focused for his first game tonight as a Miami Heat as he goes up against the top team to beat in the Eastern Conference, the Boston Celtics. I like both teams so I don't know who to root for, but if I were to bet then I'd put my $ on BOSTON! Go C's!!!

MIA @ BOS - 7:30PM EST on TNT

Day 44: Fast Don't Lie by Adidas (Videos)

Ken Jeong is one of the funniest d00ds of this new generation of comedians, and has been blowing up ever since he premiered in the movie, The Hangover. I just saw these funny Adidas commercial featuring him as "Slim Chin" alongside two top NBA all-stars, Dwight Howard & Derrick Rose. Check it out; he's really funny:

Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose, & Slim Chin - Fast Don't Lie


Derrick Rose & Slim Chin - adiZero Rose

- Shoes look pretty dope

Props to my homie C-Murdaaaah for showing me this.

TGIF!!

Day 30: The Real Reason Jay-Z & Fat Joe Never Talk (Video)

In case you didn't know about this, Jay-Z & Fat Joe have never said "hello" to each other because of a heated rivalry that brewed up during the early 2000's.

So this all started when Fat Joe and other top rappers (at the time) organized a streetball league/tournament, which was held at Rucker Park (the mecca of streetball). For the longest time, Fat Joe was the champ and had the most dominant team on the court. One year, Jay-Z stepped into the game and made his way to the championship game to face-off against Fat Joe's team. Leading up to that, tensions and egos built up so much that both Fat Joe & Jay-Z started recruiting top NBA players such as Shaq, Lebron, Carmello, Jamal Crawford, and many others to be rumored (Yao Ming?!).

It got so crazy that.... well just watch the whole video and check it out:



- S. Carter!! What do you think?

Man, I gotta go visit Rucker Park if I ever go to New York.

Day 26: Vick is Sick Wit It!!! (Video Highlights)

Michael Vick.. do I need to say more? He's been on fire since he started for the Philadelphia Eagles after Kevin Kobb went down, and maaaaaan he just torched the Jacksonville Jaguars yesterday with his quick speed, elusiveness around the pocket, and a cannon for an arm.

Here are all of his sick highlights from yesterday's game in case you missed it:


- Props to Vladtv.com

Final Score: PHI - 28 : JAX - 3
- Michael Vick's stats: 291 yds, 3 TDs, & 1 Rushing TD

Looking forward to next week's game as they take on Donovan McNabb and the Washington Redskins. That's going to be a very interesting game as it will be in Philly.

Day 25.5: Miami Heat - Dwyane Wade on Leno & Lebron James is Gay! (Videos)

Last videos before I call it a night. I'm a big Dwayne Wade fan, so here's an interview he recently did on the Jay Leno show. He has a funny story about playing basketball with Obama in the White House. Check out the entire interview here:


- Saw it here first: goatmouf


As we all know, Lebron James is one of the top acquisitions to the Miami Heat (along with Chris Bosh) during this recent off season. I'm sure everyone was all caught up with that news, but did you know Lebron also admitted that he's gay?! Check it out:



Hahah, this video always cracks me up! =P

Day 25: New "BOOM" Commercials by Nike

I just saw these new Nike "BOOM" commercials over the weekend (mostly during the NYJ vs MIA game), which I believe are a part of a new ad campaign that will be going on for a while. Some of the ads are kinda cool, but the one with Rick Ross is like.. eh? Wtf is he doin on a nike commercial buying a chain? Sneakers would of made more sense...

Anyways, here some of the "Boom" ads:

Boom: Rick Ross 


Boom: Tailor


Boom: Cano & Bo


Boom: High School Football


Boom: Drumline


I'm sure new ones will be unveiling throughout the next few weeks, so I'll keep you posted on that when they come out.

Day 14: Sunday highlights - Football, MTV VMAs, Entourage Season Finale

Yesterday was full of exciting events and I want to recap all the fun in case you missed it:

Football - Week 1
Yesterday was the official start of week 1 (not counting the Thursday night game) as there was a lot of ups and downs in the NFL. The one downfall that crushed me was the SF 49ers losing horribly to the Seattle Seahawks. The SF offense missed some easy opportunities for TDs and the defense just fell apart in the 2nd half of the game. No worries though as I'm confident they will bounce back (this was a fluke, trust me). You don't want to mess with Patrick Willis:


- K-Swiss commercial featuring Kenny Powers & Patrick Willis

2010 MTV Video Music Awards
Overall, this was a very well set up award show. The stage design was awesome as it had a futuristic look with graphics on the floors, walls, and all over the background. I also thought they did a good job "going outside the box" (literally) by having a few performances outside the main award show and in different part of Los Angeles. In case you missed it, I have videos of some of the performances:

Usher


Drake ft. Mary J Blige & Swizz Beatz


Kanye West  ft. Pusha T



Entourage - Season Finale
I don't want to spoil this, but let's say everything gets twisted & crazy in this season finale. Eminem has a cameo at the end and gets in it at the end with Vince. Check out the whole episode here:



If you don't have time for that then check out the Eminem scene here:

Day 6: "Sports are Baaack"

- The Educators


First day of September.. you know what that means? Sports are just around the corner! I'm talking about the "REAL" sports aka Football & Basketball. Here are the start dates to keep in mind:

• NFL: Kicking off next Thursday, 9/09, with the Minnesota Vikings vs the New Orleans Saints, which should be a very action-packed game to watch
• NBA: Beginning their regular season on Tuesday, 10/26, and the game to watch that day will be the Miami Heat vs the Boston Celtics (battle of the new vs the old!)

Of course, what better brands to hype up basketball/football are no other than Foot Locker & Nike. As you saw above, Nike & Foot Locker just created some sik commercials with top athletes in both sports including Justin Tuck, DeSean Jackson, Amare Stoudemire, and Rajon Rondo. Sanya Richards, who is a track & field athlete, is also in the mix too. 

If you don't get pumped after watching these commercials then there's something wrong with you.  Check out the series of commercials below (missing Rondo's commercial, but when it's out I'll post that up):

- Pop Quiz


- Field Trip


- Dunkography
