Brandon King

For many, Game 5 of the 2020 served merely as the preceding formality to a coronation. Whether they like to admit it, it seems the Lakers had one eye on the Larry O’Brien trophy. Wearing special shoes and talk of the honor of winning for Kobe is a clear giveaway that there were thoughts that the end of the NBA Finals would soon be at hand. Media members of the Lebron James Fanboy Association were preparing their talking points to spread to the masses of how James is now the…

Brandon King

The “Fire Red” Air Jordan 4 is scheduled to release November 28. As has been reported, this version will be the first iteration of this shoe to feature “NIKE AIR” branding since its original 1989 release.

And if it costs Marshall his…
