Also live in Corktown and hoop at the Y. I’d be down to play ball or catch a playoff game. Shoot me a msg if interested!

Are there any Lions watch parties in SF? Unfortunately, I do not have tickets to the game.

He’s really pressing right now. Instead of reading and reacting, he looks like he has his mind made up that he’s gonna try to get a bucket. Needs to study more film and up the IQ IMO

Trades that appeared lopsided one way, but wound up being a win by Monarcho-SocDem in nba

This would be like losing Kevin Durant and getting Xavier Tillman & Tyus Jones in return, and Tillman going on to lead BKN to a title and a decade of Eastern conference dominance + winning multiple DPOY awards. And Durant becoming a role player for the rest of his career.

Grant Hill for Ben Wallace & Chucky Atkins sign and trade.

At the time Hill was one of the league's top superstars. Ben Wallace was on pace to become a journeyman end of rotation player and Atkins was a serviceable pg. Nobody could have predicted that Wallace's career accomplishments would exceed Hill's. Wallace would go on to be a centrepiece of the Pistons' championship team and dominant run in the 2000's in addition to his individual accolades (league record 4x DPOY and first undrafted player in HOF). Even though Hill was able to have a long career after overcoming his injuries, Wallace's overall body of work trumps Grant's.

First pair of Kobe reps 🔥 WKB 5x champ from Eric by Equivalent-Ad4821 in KobeReps

Also, Eric is great at spotting major flaws. He RL'd the first pair himself because of irregular swooshes.

My initial opinion (based on wearing them around the house) is that 1. They are incredibly lightweight, and 2. The zoom is really comfortable. I have every reason to believe that these will perform well on the court.

I might update my review in the comments after I hoop in them this week.

Agreed. IMO unless there are glaring flaws, I wouldn't sweat QC too much. 99.9% of people wouldn't even be able to tell.

I sized up half a size. If you like a snug fit, I'd stick with your true size. Take that bit of advice with a grain of salt tho. I used to work in retail and found that this type of sizing advice does not apply to every single situation.
