NBA 2k fans got great news last month about the legendary Michael Jordan coming back to basketball video games, MJ will also be the cover boy for NBA 2k11. Last time screenshots were shown, MJ was seen rocking Air Jordan XII ‘Playoff’ and now screenshots of Jordan’s rookie year show him in the OG Air Jordan 1. Not only are a few Air Jordans available in the game but all 25 Air Jordan models including CP3s, Melo 5s, and other shoes from the Jordan line to make a total of 40 shoes available. NBA 2K11 will hit game retailers later this year, but you can see MJ in his rookie year, in real life and cyber life after the jump. via ESPN.

Just ask anyone who has ever played fantasy sports of any kind, or joined a bracket, and he or she will probably be able to assure you that game-watching will never be the same again with stakes thrown in. For the 2010 FIFA World Cup, sure, some will perhaps have an office bracket, some will use their regular bookie, and with the Internet growing oh-so-almighty, some would have formed their own little group on ESPN and put down some money for their favorite teams. Not a big gambler but would like some reward for making magical predictions? adidas is adding a competitive dimension to their participation in the 2010 FIFA World Cup this year with their very own adidas Matchups Facebook application.

USA Basketball and Nike recently announced they’re joining forces with Converse and Jordan Brand for the inaugural World Basketball Festival. This truly amazing alignment within the basketball cosmos is set to light up New York City from August 12-15. Set to become a biannual celebration, the WBF will feature the finest hoops action inside the world famous Madison Square Garden and outside on the blacktop, at Harlem’s legendary Rucker Park. If that wasn’t enough, the Swoosh also let it be known that for first time ever, basketball will be played in the heart of mid-town Manhattan – in Times Square for crying out loud! Brazil, Puerto Rico, France and China as well as the USA, will participate in this showcase as a means to ready their respective squads for the 2010 FIBA World Basketball Championships.

Words + Images: Brad Graham.

 

Rolling out the 24K-gold carpet, the World Basketball Festival launch was a champagne-popping media-only extravaganza that took place over two days, starting at Manhattan’s Pier 59 and concluding on the hallowed grounds of Rucker Park. It was quite an occasion and one which marked the first official joint-billing colab between Nike, Converse and Jordan… a remarkable occurrence in its own right. Everyone from Nice Kicks to Crooked Tongues, as well as basketball authorities like SLAM, Dime and Hoop were in the house, as were mainstreamers CNN, FHM, Sports Illustrated and ESPN. All in all, a total of 150 media outlets from Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Italy, France and China were flown in to document the occasion and Nike didn’t let us down.

DAY ONE
Formal proceedings from Day One were kick-started via a wonderful rendition of Alicia Key’s chorus from Jay-Z’s Empire State Of Mind. TNT broadcaster and NYC legend, Kenny ‘The Jet’ Smith fittingly acted as host for the morning panel sessions, opening with an informative discussion that included NBA players Kevin Durant and Yi Jianlian, as well as USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo and Nike Brand Manager Charlie Denson.

Plenty of hot sneaker proddy was also showcased during the launch, giving early adopters a sample of the product lines which will dominate collector’s feet and shelves at your local Foot Locker throughout 2010.

Nike’s ‘United We Rise’ space featured team kits for the five nations that have been invited to take part in the World Basketball Festival along with the new footwear. This impressive showcase was the perfect dessert following my finely prepared lunch, with the might of Nike’s research and development, as well as their creative prowess, on full display. Multiple colourways of the stylish meshed-out and ultra-lite Zoom Hyperfuse, along with the improved Hyperdunk 2010 and the bonkers Air Force 1 Foamposite became the talking point for many on the guest list.

Also in the house was Jordan Brand, which was lovingly showered in baby blue and white. Dedicated to their ‘For The Love Of The Game’ pack, JB was brought to life through the Air Jordan IX Retro, the Air Jordan 2010 Outdoor, the Air Jordan Alpha 1 Outdoor and the Jordan Pre-Game XT models.

Following in JB’s footsteps was the Converse hall, which acted as a tribute to their recent Band Of Ballers action while also offering the latest kicks from their Evo performance line, the oddly named SICKS model and the meshtastic Star Player Evo.

The revolutionary Nike Hyper Elite National Team uniforms were another highlight of the WBF announcement. NBA stars Durant and Jianlian were both on hand to model the technically advanced kits. Serving more as an outer shell than a protective layer, the new Nike uniforms apparently offer improved ventilation, less moisture absorption and an overall reduction in materials, without diminishing garment strength. Trust that these kits feel as good as they look!

DAY TWO
Day Two was some other kind of wonderful, with the morning session giving each and every attendee a complete tour of the house that Walt Frazier built, aka Madison Square Garden. The media contingent was then taken from 34th street up to the heart of Manhattan where lunch featured a Times Square view that Bernie Madoff would kill for.

The media scrum then collected a Nike duffle bag full of goodies, generally acted like children on Christmas morning, laced up pairs of 2010 Hyperdunks or Hyperfuses and promptly hopped aboard a bus up to Rucker Park for a series of intense on-court drills, a chat with local legends and couple of quickfire half-court games.

Looking back at the hoopla, it’s not surprising that the Festival idea might have started out as a self-described ‘half-baked’ concept between two basketball powers but quickly morphed into one seriously deep-dished apple-pie. Also worth noting, because it coincides with the US summer, these National Team exhibition matches will form the backdrop to Nike’s ‘United We Rise’ initiative, which aims to serve and improve links between local NYC communities.

Impressive and ambitiously executed, this two day showcase and media launch set a new standard for festival announcements. Just think, if this two day buffet of all things basketball was simply a notice board item, imagine what the event itself will be like? Guess it’s time to stand in line out front of your local Foot Locker so you can be dressed to impress when the World Basketball Festival rolls around.

PRESS RELEASE. NIKE, INC. AND USA BASKETBALL PLANNING INAUGURAL WORLD BASKETBALL FESTIVAL HOSTED BY NEW YORK CITY
International sport and culture blend over four days in August across Manhattan

BEAVERTON, Ore. (June 9, 2010) – This summer, NIKE, Inc. and USA Basketball are planning to bring the world’s best basketball teams and top musical performers to New York City for the inaugural World Basketball Festival, a four-day celebration of the performance and culture of the game, an event that Nike has committed to reprising every two years.

The World Basketball Festival, August 12-15, features basketball’s leading brands within the NIKE Inc. portfolio – Converse, the Jordan Brand, and Nike Basketball.

The World Basketball Festival is a uniquely dynamic event, from the moment it tips off with a showcase featuring members of the 2010 USA Basketball National Team on an open-air court in Times Square, to an unprecedented Times Square performance by a surprise musical act, to the final games of the weekend between four of the best teams in the world at Madison Square Garden.

"The World Basketball Festival will be an unforgettable event for the people of New York City and basketball fans around the world," said Charlie Denson, Nike Brand President. "Every two years we plan to connect the global world of basketball to celebrate the sport while leaving a lasting legacy within the community."

From Times Square on August 12, the action moves uptown to New York City’s legendary basketball courts at Rucker Park in Harlem, Friday and Saturday, August 13 and 14.

Rucker Park will be home to open-air practices and scrimmages by National Teams from Brazil and Puerto Rico, and training by France, mixed with performances by top international music acts, in addition to a grassroots youth tournament serving as the championships for some of New York’s top summer basketball leagues. Fans will also be invited to participate in clinics here designed to improve training and basketball skills. The two days at Rucker Park will culminate with a special celebration on Saturday, August 14. Details will be provided closer to the day.

The World Basketball Festival concludes Sunday, August 15 with an exciting exhibition double-header featuring the United States taking on France (1 p.m. EDT) and China meeting Puerto Rico (3:30 p.m. EDT) at famed Madison Square Garden.

The exhibition games are being utilized as part of the teams’ preparation for the 2010 FIBA World Basketball Championship in Turkey, August 28 to September 12.

"We’re thrilled with the opportunity to bring the energy and excitement of USA Basketball’s Men’s National Team to fans and give them with a way to celebrate their team," said Jerry Colangelo, USA Basketball Chairman. "We are honored to have the opportunity to represent the United States in the FIBA World Championship and I can’t think of a better sendoff for our team than the World Basketball Festival."

NIKE, Inc. will use the backdrop of the World Basketball Festival to debut the United We Rise initiative as a catalyst to improve communities through basketball. Over the next two years, Nike is partnering with USA Basketball and New York City, in particular the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development and the New York City Housing Authority, to support youth programming and the installation and refurbishment of basketball courts at 25 Community Centers throughout New York City.

"Piloting programs with these 25 rec centers in New York City will allow Nike and other partners to create a new and sustainable model that we can bring to other communities in years to come," added Denson.

Nike is committed to leaving every court it uses throughout the World Basketball Festival in better shape than what it was at the beginning including dedicating the hardwood courts that will be used in Times Square and Rucker Park to locations where courts are still needed in New York City.

If you were watching Lakes pound Celtics’ yesterday on ESPN for ABC, during a quick breather between Kobe Bryant’s near magical shots with an injured finger (apparently Kobe is still invincible with only nine functioning fingers), you would have noticed the announcement for 2010 FIFA World Cup broadcasts to come next Friday. Indeed, after four years of anxious hiatus, the 2010 FIFA World Cup is back with full force, and labels who are hopping onto the soccer game are growing in numbers, so much so we can’t even count them with two hands anymore. Now to join in the fun already stirred up by sportswear giants such as Nike, adidas, PUMA, Reebok and Umbro, is California-born Lifted Research Group (LRG).

ESPN is reporting that Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu has confirmed the Ken Griffey, Jr retirement rumored at earlier in the day. Griffey is, in addition to being a legend on the baseball diamond, a big part of Nike’s history as his shoes, especially the Air Griffey Max 1, achieved some incredible mainstream popularity for a baseball/cross-trainer. Best of luck going forward to one of the all-time greats. It’s unclear what his role with the Mariners will be in the future, but he is expected to stay with the team in some capacity.

The clever folks over at ESPN have stopped trying to guess where soon-to-be NBA Free Agents LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Co. will end up, so they’ve created a digital slot machine the whole family can enjoy. Check it out out here.

What a better way to showcase a product than to have participation? And so yesterday morning, after a hearty breakfast in San Francisco, 30 or so media representatives were ushered to Laney College across the bay in Oakland for the ultimate trial on Nike SPARQ Training System – Nike Football Combines. Unbeknown to most of us, we were to participated too with “assistance” from 3 leading NFL players: Nnamdi Asomugha (Oakland Raiders), Darrelle Revis (New York Jets), and Tim Tebow (Denver Broncos), who happened to have the highest SPARQ Score ever. The pressure was on….

A brief stopover at personalized locker armed with Nike Pro Combat apparels, Nike Training equipments, and a fresh pair of Nike Trainer SC 2010, it was on to the field for the start of a brutal day. Measurements of body weight and height first taken for an accurate assessment, urged on by “our coach”, each participant started at the far end of the field with stretches and run-in-place followed by the main event – Nike SPARQ Training

Short for Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction, and Quickness, the Nike SPARQ allows athletes and their supporting elements to accurately assess their performances, along with deficiencies before tailored a training regiment to address those issues. Participants were put into their paces through a 40-yard dash, pro agility shuttle run, kneeling power ball toss, and finally vertical jump. SPARQ sensors at each station gave an instant data points while score-keepers doubled as trainers, along with the 3 NFL players on site, gave advices and encouragements to strive for more.

The Nike Football Combines are an integral portion of the first-ever SPARQ Rating National Championship, a near democratization of the traditional high school athletes scouting system where anyone with a body “is” an athlete. Participants with the highest scores will be announced on ESPN Rise network this week. All will have the opportunity to compete for the Championship on July 8th at Nike Campus in Beaverton, Oregon.

With only so many more days to go, some of the biggest happenings of the week does surround the soccer ball.

Sports Illustrated cover model Bar Refaeli attends the Nacho Figueras celebration of Ralph Lauren’s Iconic Polo sexy model Shirt for Fashion’s Night Out on Thursday (September 10) in New York City.


The 24-year-old Israeli hottie recently talked about her approach to keeping healthy, saying, “I don’t diet and I don’t have an eating plan, but I like to eat healthily. I would never go on some crazy fad diet says the sexy model or eat anything weird to get thinner - it’s just not good for your body.

I don’t deny myself anything and there’s nothing I wouldn’t eat. I like desserts. I like food full-stop but I exercise and I’m young said the beauty face so everything keeps in check!”

It’s obvious that ESPN Magazine is trying to snap some of the lions’ share from Sports Illustrated’s readership. SI gets over of $257 million while ESPN Mag garners only $96 million.

When considering how to catch more eyes the first thing that everyone (including me) thought of was the famous SI Swimsuit Issue. But how could ESPN trump that sexy beauty face glossy card? Seems that Editor In Chief, Gary Belsky, has come up with a nice little idea.

Coming to you on October 19th is ESPN’s Body Issue in which athletes will be posing “au naturel, albeit artfully covered or positioned.” Since that announcement the facts have dwindled and the rumors have begun. Who will be included? How much will they show?

One name keeps popping up: IndyCar racer, Danica Patrick.

Patrick’s rep. will not confirm whether or not she’s in the magazine--or whether she posed nude--and Belsky says the same thing. "When we do reveal the web models participant list, we will not reveal who disrobed and who did not.

The photos will answer most such questions, of course; and we will otherwise let the individual athletes reveal like web models should they so choose, whether they removed all clothing for our shoots."

Women are getting more and more glossy spreads and not just in the poses you’d think.

A pregnant Candice Parker graced the cover of ESPN magazine, and after much speculation of how sportscaster Erin Andrews photo shoot pictures in many blogs would look for GQ it turned out to be dirty only in the literal sense. She posed in football gear, muddy with the rest of the team in the locker room.

I like the idea of a sports’ magazine showing athletes bodies off. It appeals to me more than just a model in a swimsuit. It enhances rather than detracts from the fact that this is sports in blogs training and dedication. I also think that with both male and female athletes both being spotlighted, no one can cry sexism.

Which athletes will be in The Body Issue? No one’s telling, but I think it’s worth the cover price to find out.

Sports Illustrated cover model Bar Refaeli attends the Nacho Figueras celebration of Ralph Lauren’s Iconic Polo sexy model Shirt for Fashion’s Night Out on Thursday (September 10) in New York City.


The 24-year-old Israeli hottie recently talked about her approach to keeping healthy, saying, “I don’t diet and I don’t have an eating plan, but I like to eat healthily. I would never go on some crazy fad diet says the sexy model or eat anything weird to get thinner - it’s just not good for your body.

I don’t deny myself anything and there’s nothing I wouldn’t eat. I like desserts. I like food full-stop but I exercise and I’m young said the beauty face so everything keeps in check!”

It’s obvious that ESPN Magazine is trying to snap some of the lions’ share from Sports Illustrated’s readership. SI gets over of $257 million while ESPN Mag garners only $96 million.

When considering how to catch more eyes the first thing that everyone (including me) thought of was the famous SI Swimsuit Issue. But how could ESPN trump that sexy beauty face glossy card? Seems that Editor In Chief, Gary Belsky, has come up with a nice little idea.

Coming to you on October 19th is ESPN’s Body Issue in which athletes will be posing “au naturel, albeit artfully covered or positioned.” Since that announcement the facts have dwindled and the rumors have begun. Who will be included? How much will they show?

One name keeps popping up: IndyCar racer, Danica Patrick.

Patrick’s rep. will not confirm whether or not she’s in the magazine--or whether she posed nude--and Belsky says the same thing. "When we do reveal the web models participant list, we will not reveal who disrobed and who did not.

The photos will answer most such questions, of course; and we will otherwise let the individual athletes reveal like web models should they so choose, whether they removed all clothing for our shoots."

Women are getting more and more glossy spreads and not just in the poses you’d think.

A pregnant Candice Parker graced the cover of ESPN magazine, and after much speculation of how sportscaster Erin Andrews photo shoot pictures in many blogs would look for GQ it turned out to be dirty only in the literal sense. She posed in football gear, muddy with the rest of the team in the locker room.

I like the idea of a sports’ magazine showing athletes bodies off. It appeals to me more than just a model in a swimsuit. It enhances rather than detracts from the fact that this is sports in blogs training and dedication. I also think that with both male and female athletes both being spotlighted, no one can cry sexism.
