Zion was rated as only a top 5 NBA prospect entering last summers Draft at age 17. By waiting just one season, now a year older, playing for the NCAA’s #1 college basketball team, he’s virtually guaranteed being the #1 pick, has 2 million followers on Instagram and is ‘courting’ prospective mega global shoe deals as he enters the NBA in the 2019-2020 season.

Interesting. I wonder if they’ll examine the shoe to determine whether it was a genuine Nike product or not.

U can load Kodi into your home computer also or buy the little media box for the flatscreen TV.
Kodi is the interface on a computer. I load it with Supremacy and cCloudtv.

Not sure. I have Kodi loaded into my apple home computer. Loaded with Supremacy and cCloudtv.
Most of those tiny media boxes do the trick.

He was wearing a pair of Nike’s Kaepernick Ultra Kneelers when all hell broke loose.

Thumbs UP!

Gee, my $12 Walmart running shoes can do that trick. But I bond them back with Shoe Goop and they last another year or so.

Absolutely! I quit when that became the norm.

Why invest in a team when the concept of team is gone?

‘Mild knee sprain”

That would depend on who’s knee it is. Yours or someone else.

I don’t follow NBA or college basketball too closely. But when did things change? I know many years ago, that the NBA didn’t draft players until they had finished their college eligibility. Was there a legal case involved, and/or agreement with the NBA players union, about when players can enter the NBA?

It’s getting harder and harder to find good child labor under a buck an hour!

Found out it was Spectrum who had the ESPN outage!!!

I will not forgive Spectrum for this outage of such a great win for my Tar Heels.

At least I had the radio...but it was not the same.

I had a Nike Air sole separate from the upper a year ago. I also used Shoe Goop to reattach the sole. So far, so good.

The same thing happened during the Bama-Clemson game. I called Spectrum at that time and they said that ESPN had pulled the plug on Spectrum Streaming TV (ABC/ESPN station, I think) and to switch to the ESPN Cable channel that also came with the Spectrum subscription. That worked.

I was not watching this game, so not sure if that was the problem. Perhaps the same Show Director/Enginer that handled the AFL-Heidi Game was on duty?
