Dealings: H-Town Sneaker Summit.

Took to the highway and made it to the H-Town Sneaker Summit this past weekend. Doors opened at 3pm and the line was literally wrapped around Reliant Arena by 2:45pm; folks were SERIOUS. Kids were walking around with stacks of 3-4 shoeboxes hoping to sell or trade with booths and even selling the shoes right off their feet. Although it was more LeBrons and Jordans than I cared to see, there was definitely some heat in the place. Special shout to @Ego_Tripping_, @iDuh, @MzBritt_is_it@AdeolaShmola, @Bonton9100, @Akimble5, and @JayCeeBowski for all the dope. slangin’.


Come April, I’ve got to get my hands on a pair of Hornet Summit Lakes. 
Hadn’t seen a pair of Grant Hills in awhile.
What’s up Patrick.

Amber, being as cool as she is, did this quick mix to give a beginner their first dose of the Teflon Don. Ugh!

dope.’s State of the NFL

After two weeks of fantastic playoffs, we have the final 4 of the NFL tournament. The Ravens, 49ers, Patriots, and Giants have all survived and advanced the war of attrition that composes the single elimination rise to the Super Bowl. Before looking to the savory week 19 matchups, let’s glance at how each of these deserving teams ascended to their respective Conference championships.

Best Player in the League? Dirk Nowitzki

Dirk is dope.

After a few weeks of this season, I got into another discussion with a friend about the best player in
the NBA. ESPN did their take on it over the summer (http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7116977/nba-
player-rankings-1
). I perused all of their entries, and decided that a review of their top 25 would be in
order. Given the quick way the season came about after months of talk of a complete lockout, the rust
is just now beginning to fall off some teams and players. So most of the analysis will be based on the
work done by the players prior to the season. Certainly it should be re-visited at the end of the regular
season, but to look at the small sample size that is the 2011-2012 NBA season seems like a knee-jerk
reaction.
