Social media has become the best and worst way to keep informed with current happenings. While not everything that goes up on an outlet like Twitter is reliable, it is safe to assume that if a NBA All-Star gives an unreleased sneaker a name; that is its name.

It’s official: No one likes the NBA’s sleeved uniforms. Sweeping generalizations are typically taboo. Who am I to speak for everyone? Seriously, who am I? Nobody—in the scheme of everyone, at least. Same holds true here. I can’t say everyone hates those jerseys—except I just did. Because everyone hates them. That’s how it seems. A [...]

LeBron being who he is, and all—face of the two-time reigning NBA champions. And George being who he is and all—face of the Miami Heat’s greatest Eastern Conference challenger. George’s rise [...]
