Air Penny 1/2 Cent

Penny Hardaway, who in the late 90's were believed to be the next Michael Jordan was one of the best basketball players this century. His career plumetted when he had a season ending injury in 1997 to 1998. From this incident he had lost all his explosiveness, speed, and quickness. Although he doesnt play in the NBA anymore, I believe its worth it to take a few minutes to check out his game. He has always had a huge fanbase surrounding his nike penny sneakers. Recently, nike is releasing a hybrid shoe that combines all four of his signature sneakers along with the Nike Air Foamposite. Dubbed the 1/2 cent. Retailing at 180ish Definitely a great addition to anyone's collection.

♔new shit coming soon

Casio G-Shock Limited Edition G-Lide Watch GLX5600-1

Finally bought my 2008 watch. The G-shock G-lide.
This watch is advertised towards surfers for its tide graph feature.
Although I ain't no surfer, cop it anyways. I really like the shiney plastic
overcoat on it. This watch was way smaller than my first 2007 G-shock, the
Casio G-Shock Watch with Referee Timers DW56RTB-7.
I have been wearing it for a month or so now, overall I like it a lot.
Its just a very attractive watch. And its easy to wear often, being black.
Well, I probably have to wait another year to get another watch, but I am definitely purchasing with G Shock.

Gameover, Try again next Year.

Okay yeah Lakers lost, Celtics Won, yeah up yours! Celtic Fans

" Already, he said, the bitterness of the Lakers losing to the Celtics in the NBA Finals is drifting away."

"I bounce back pretty quickly," Bryant said. "Not to say the loss doesn't sting, because it does and it will, but I bounce back quickly."

Kobe will be back next year, WITH A VENGENCE!
A little preview.
