First of all…Congratulations to Lamar Odom and the World Champion Los Angeles Lakers for a successful year. I’m still celebrating! Anyways, make sure to check out Lamar’s clothing line called Rich Soil and the Limited Edition World Champions t-shirt seen below. If y’all don’t know about it, check out their website www.richsoilclothing.com.
Rich Soil is a clothing line that promotes creative design, spiritual iconic imagery, and the shared idea that growth can come from virtually anywhere. Started by Lamar Odom and designer Jonathan Garcia, Rich Soil seeks to be at the forefront of new ideas. Drawing inspiration from an eclectic mix of experiences, musical taste and personal philosophy, Rich Soil uses the T-shirt as a vehicle to promote more than a brand, but a movement that represents the creative spirit of all people.
Finally, NBA caps manufactured by New Era will be available for purchase through their flagship stores (Atlanta, Buffalo, New York City and Toronto). It’s too bad they don’t have one out here in Cali. Word is, New Era plans to launch some different colorways for their NBA caps later this year. Stay posted. Check out www.neweracap.com.
Delivering hoop dreams comes with the territory when your name is World B Free. But let’s start at the top…In the early 60’s, before adopting the World, Lloyd Bernard Free was a free-wheeling Brooklyn baller known for his infamous “Brownsville Boogie”. His flamboyant game and when-in-doubt shoot mentality set him apart. But it was the 44 inch vertical leap and ridiculous hangtime that put him in a class of his own (and introduced fans to the 360!), knighting the “Prince of Midair” with a unique moniker, “World”. World B Free was born and moved on to the NBA, where the George Clinton of basketball brought funk on a nightly basis. His on-court pizzazz and ability to score made hime one of the league’s most recognizable characters, and valuable point guards. In 1978-79, World B Free was an All-Star, scoring 30.2 points per game for the San Diego Clippers, finishing second in the top scorers list behind only the “Iceman” George Gervin, for the second straight year. Free and his unforgettable ‘fro (along with the legendary tooth-gap) rocked the NBA for 13 seasons with the Clippers, 76ers, Warriors, Cavaliers and Rockets, scoring 20.3 ppg and becoming a true basketball icon along the way.

Here’s a new segment on BBJ that I like to call: Pick-N-Roll. Don’t laugh, I know it sounds corny, but it makes sense. The post will feature some dope products that are out there right now, that if I’m out shopping I would definitely pick and roll with it. Hence the title of the post: Pick-N-Roll. Anyways, today I’d like to feature some t-shirts that I would roll with, if I’m not wearing BBJ. One designed by Jeff Staple (Staple Design) and the other one from Sam Flores (12 Grain). Just like how Stockton and Malone run the play, these products were well executed. Two dope designers in the game right now that are my personal favorites. Check out the photos below. Watch out, you’ll get hooked on the phrase, too.
Damn, it’s been a while since I posted anything (I apologize). I was on vacation 2 weeks ago, and I feel like I’m still on vacation mode. Y’all know how it is. Anyway, I had the opportunity to go visit the beautiful island of Oahu and chill with some family in Pearl City. While I was there, I got the chance to meet up with Todd, Ryan, Jun, Justin and Keith from In4mation last week while I was enjoying the Hawaiian sun. If y’all don’t know about In4mation, they’ve been in the game for quite some time. They’re Hawaii’s premiere retailer of skate and streetwear located at Ward Warehouse in Honolulu. They also got another store called Aloha Army located in Waikiki. The crew at In4mation are well respected in the industry and it’s great knowing that they took some time out to meet with me, despite their busy schedules. It’s the first time I met ‘em, and they’re the coolest cats you’d ever meet, definitely treated me like family. So if you ever find yourself visiting Hawaii, make sure you stop by and check out these stores. Shout outs go to the family at In4mation. Yo Todd, thanks for the t-shirts brotha! For more info visit www.in4mants.com and www.alohaarmy.com.

Yes, yes y’all…This just in. I had an epiphany last night around 1:00am, and I thought I needed give an extra boost for some Laker spirit. The result…BBJ logo tees in purple & gold. Hit me up if you want one.
Yes, yes y’all. Once again Bball Junkies makes it on Bounce Magazines’ online website. Check out the post courtesy of Jeremy Ripley entitled, “Bball Junkies Unite - Hoops Is Life”. It’s the second time we’ve been featured on the website. You can check out the old post entitled, “Bball Junkies Represent”. And for the record, my man Bobbito was the first to rock the Trotter Tee. Big ups to the team at Bounce Magazine for keepin’ us well informed. I can’t wait for the next issue to drop…looking forward to it. If you haven’t subscribed yet, you gotta get it. Also, be on the look out for the BBJ Fall 08-09 season which will drop in September.
Yo this just in…Check out this great interview with my man Marlon Raichel of Sneaktip on Karmaloop TV with some spoken words of wisdom. Big ups to Marlon for doin’ his thing keeping that drive and making things happen. You’re a great inspiration for us all! Props go out to Chelsea from Karmaloop TV for lacing us with the link.
Here it is people…An exclusive look at the “Dunkxchange vs BBJ” collaboration t-shirt that is set to drop this Saturday, December 8th at the Dunkxchange event in Fullerton. Just so you know, these t-shirts are limited and there were only 84 units printed. Some of the t-shirts will be given as prizes to lucky winners, the remaining will be sold only at the BBJ booth this Saturday. This t-shirt represents the upcoming event that Dunkxchange and Bball Junkies will be hosting next summer, so stay posted. If you need one of these t-shirts, you need to come over to our booth.
I thought that I should take the time to talk about and feature the t-shirt design “Don’t Stop The Rock”. If you haven’t noticed, this particular season pays homage to the Old School and to the pioneers that laid down the brickwork for us all. The concept of this tee was directly influenced by the Sugar Hill Gang’s track entitled “Rapper’s Delight”. This single was one of the first tracks to introduce the world to Hip Hop music. This tee “Don’t Stop The Rock” can be interpreted in many ways from the B-boy who thinks of break dancing to the Rocker who thinks of his music. But to us Bball Junkies…Don’t ever stop playin’ ball! Purchase your t-shirt today through the BBJ SHOP.
Check out what we have new in the shop. All products sold are limited and only available here on the web. You can even match our BBJ gear with your favorite pair of kicks.
