Inspired by the iconic adidas shelltoe is the ‘Superstar’ D Rose 5 Boost. With an upper made from a material with snakeskin texture, the adidas D Rose 5 ‘Superstar’ gets its name from the popular adidas Superstar from 1969 which originally had the shelltoe shape to make the toebox last longer while playing basketball in.

Signing Ed Davis made sense for the Lakers last summer. Re-signing him this summer may not. The Lakers pulled off a small-scale free-agency coup last July when they signed Davis for under $1 million with a player option for 2015-16 worth just a little more. The 13th overall pick from the 2010 draft has never [...]

Amar’e Stoudemire’s time with the Knicks may finally be coming to an end. Almost a half-decade ago, the Knicks handed him a five-year, $100 million contract that has become the symbol for all that was wrong with the impulsive and reflexive and logic-eschewing franchise. The upcoming summer has long been the light at the end [...]

Is it just me or is this year’s three point contest the event to watch at this year’s all-star weekend in New York. As a shooting guard I’ve always personally loved that event as much as the dunk contest, but with the decline in popularity of the dunk contest, rookie game, and even the all-star [...]

Old Stories that players tell can sometimes be more entertaining that recollections of an actual game. It’s part of what makes NBATV’s “Open Court” such a great watch. Last night, Kobe Bryant paid a visit to Jimmy Fallon and the two recalled the first time they met each other. They were sent on a beer [...]

Andrew Wiggins is going to be a superstar. No, he’s probably not the second coming of LeBron James, as he was made out to be just before playing his college ball at Kansas. Then again, that same notion seems a lot less ridiculous now than it did leading into the NBA draft. Or just a [...]

Get your daily dose of weird, here. The Chicago Bulls’ 2014-15 season hasn’t gone as planned. They’re hovering around the top 10 in both offensive and defensive efficiency, per NBA.com, but the latter standing isn’t what it used to be. Not by a long shot. The Bulls ranked second last year and employ a slew [...]

If you can recall, Byron Scott was the head coach of the New Jersey Nets in the early 2000s and he was the man who led the squad to back-to-back Finals appearances. Jason Kidd, of course, was the leader of that team and was reportedly the reason why Scott was ultimately fired. More than a [...]

If nothing else, Phil Jackson is as honest as they come. Perhaps to a fault. He’ll always tell it like it is even if it doesn’t paint him in the most flattering light. We all knew this would be a “throw away” season for the Knicks, as they attempted to shed some salary, but even [...]

Avoiding NBA power rankings is for chumps, so come on in. There’s plenty to talk about this week. The Warriors and Hawks are still playing in a league of their own; the Grizzlies look like fortuitous demigods; the Hornets and Pistons are making a mockery of the Eastern Conference’s race for the final two playoff spots; [...]
