Lamar X Trevor X Shannon

ROB ONE — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 05:51:04 +0000

I just got back from the Frank and Son Collectible Show this afternoon and it wasn’t a typical Saturday for all the regulars that usually show up. The place was jam packed and you would think that you were celebrating at a Laker parade with the sea of purple and gold in attendance. The reason for the madness…Lamar Odom, Trevor Ariza, and Shannon Brown were there signing autographs. Even a ghetto bird circled around the area. Peep some of the photos.

Chocolate Thunder

ROB ONE — Wed, 27 May 2009 06:07:02 +0000

So last week I was invited by the NBA to check out the NBA Nation Tour in Hollywood and I actually got a chance to hang out with legendary NBA superstar Darryl Dawkins aka Chocolate Thunder. It was definitely an honor for me to be able to chill and crack jokes with the man and I felt very fortunate to have this opportunity. Of course you know I had to hook him up with some fresh BBJ t-shirts…maybe you’ll see him rockin’ one soon. Check out the photos below, here he is explaining to me what the NBA Nation Tour was all about, and how he got involved with becoming the first Ambassador for the tour. If you don’t know about Darryl Dawkins, he was always known for his powerful dunks and shattering backboards throughout his career, then naming them. The most memorable was the one he did against the KC Kings in 1979, which he named, “The Chocolate Thunder Flying, Robinzine-Crying, Teeth-Shaking, Glass-Breaking, Rump-Roasting, Bun-Toasting, Wham-Bam, Glass-Breaker-I-Am-Jam. Maybe we’ll do a Chocolate Thunder inspired BBJ t-shirt soon…Hmmm. For more info on the tour, it started in Hotlanta (with Hollywood being the 2nd stop) and will continue through Frisco, Portland, NY, DC, Chi-Town, and end in Dallas. Check out the website for details on www.nba.com/nbanation. Shout out to Ahyiana and Lupe…Thank you!!

Nike X Kobe

ROB ONE — Thu, 21 May 2009 06:35:00 +0000

Last Friday, I was fortunate enough to be invited to an advanced screening of Spike Lee’s new film entitled: Kobe Doin’ Work presented by Nike. The music was nice and the footage was great, but I was wanting to see more of what Kobe did off the court. One great thing about the film was being able to see how Kobe’s mind works and you can totally see it through the narrative. It’s too bad other coaches and players might keen in on Kobe’s mindset and find a way to stop him…Naw, jus playing. Anyhow, my man Joe from Cerritos All-Stars, hooked me up with the VIP passes and I was able to bring my homey Julius to the show. The screening was held at the Nike Sportswear store in a theater called the Montalban in Hollywood. They gave out free drinks and snacks, threw out t-shirts to the crowd and even raffled off some Zoom Kobe IV’s. The final raffle of the night was a pair of tickets to Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals. Guess who won ‘em?? My boy Julius. And guess who’s going to Game 2 on Thursday with Julius…Me!! Thanks Julius!! Big shout out to Joe! Peep some of the photos below.
