FLASHBACK FRIDAY - THE LAYUP AD CAMPAIGN

I'm in the process of gathering all the work that we've done in the last 5 years of being in business, While digging I started to see some of our old ads. This was at the time of the big NBA Dress Code launch. No more wearing timbs and Sean John Sweatsuits.
I remember Allen Iverson wearing a Bill Russell (Celtics) uniform on the sideline... and he was playing for the Sixers.

This is the greatest bootleg of all times.

SERIOUSLY?- UNRELEASED SONG

I remember watching this fight and seeing 2pac walking in with Tyson. How ill is it that he wore a Yankees hoody into the ring. It looks like he just walked in off the street.

I didn't know that the song was a personalized.

MICHAEL JORDAN- GATORADE COMMMERCIAL

EMOTIONS

Anyone that knows me know's that I'm pretty emotional (thanks mom).
Not that I would want any footage of me crying, I thought this was 1 of millions of pretty random things on the 24 hour live stream with Stephon Marbury....

Here are some of my favorite crying moments captured on video.





Congrats to the NBA for making the video of Kobe's emotional apology disappear off the face of the earth.

UNDRCRWN TWITTER CONTEST

STARBURY - MAKING SENSE

STARBURY MAKING SENSE.



STARBURY NOT MAKING SENSE. (one of the greatest interviews ever)


I wanted the Celtics to win so that Steph would win a ring.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS - DOMINO

So I just hit the jackpot... well let's just say Pete of UNDRCRWN found a few gems.

Pete is the guy who makes you wash your hands when you look at a magazine. Or that collects West Elm catalogues, Williams & Sanoma, Frank 151, etc. etc. He has multiples of stuff since the late 80's.

Today s find has been the Source magazine from December 1993. It's too good to show you everything.

Here is an add for the Domino album. West coast stand up!

YO MAMA! - Top 5 Shit Talkers of All Time

I remember growing up looking at the book SNAPS in the bookstore. I think I still have the book somewhere. During a random youtube search I stumbled upon this SHAQ interview that I thought was funny. This made me think about all the funniest snaps I've ever heard.

Here is my list for top 10 shit talkers of all time (SPORTS and NON SPORTS)

SPORTS (In no particular order)

1. Chad Johson - He raced a horse and changed his last name.
2. Gary Payton - I sat close to the court one time. He doesn't shut up. He's hilarous too.
3. Michael Jordan
4. Terrell Owens - I saw him play Hoop it Up 10 years ago with his boys. If I were his boys, I would not let him talk to me like that.
5. Rasheed Wallace
6. Sam Cassell - You just know he has tough skin.

7. Mike Tyson

8. Muhammad Ali

9. Prince Naseem

10. The Rock

NON-SPORTS RELATED (In no particular order)

I would chop off my finger to hear these guys go at it in a circle.
- ROBIN HARRIS
- EDDIE MURPHY
- MARTIN LAWRENCE
- JAMIE FOXX,
- DAVE CHAPELLE

- RED FOXX

- RICHARD PRYOR

- D.L. HUGHLEY

THE GOOD OLD DAYS - IVERSON | SIXERS

BEASTIE BOYS FT. NAS - TOO MANY RAPPERS

CELEBRITY SIGHTING - ADAM SANDLER - EMINEM CARICATURE TEE

I heard through the grapevine that one of Eminem's new basketball buddies was Adam Sandler. Odd couple but makes sense for UNDRCRWN. It really shows our reach.

So last night I was watching Conan and saw that Adam Sandler was wearing the Eminem Caricature t-shirt. Come to find out he wore it to the premier of his new movie Funny People.

The devil is in the details - D&G

Recently was in SOHO and walked passed the D&G store on Broadway.
For such a design conscious brand it was pretty sad to see their doors.
Hopefully they were tired of people pushing the doors when they walked in.

AMAZING

Kenny Dobbs needs to be in the NBA dunk contest next year.
The NBA is about entertainment and selling tickets. I had more fun watching this on my computer than watching the timberwolves or bucks.
