"Black is the new red", according to Yahoo! and Raptors.com. You can be the judge yourself.
The Dallas Mavericks are on the road to redemption, but they're going to need some help for some key members of the team to make that push.
Rasheed Wallace is back (and with his old number as well). So is the rest of the Motor City gang...but is this a good thing? Or a great thing?
Carmelo Anthony's Olympic gold medal is a great accomplishment for him and the NBA as a whole, but the truth of the Denver Nuggets is clear: They have not lived up to their potential in the five years since Anthony came to Colorado.
This just has to be stated: The Golden State Warriors are going to deeply miss Baron Davis. There's no way around it. Davis, or "Boom Dizzle"/"B. Diddy," was the reason that the Warriors made a resurgence in the NBA in the past two years.
Will a trio of McGrady, Yao and Artest FINALLY do the trick to better their playoff fortunes? Not without some conditions...
Larry Brown, returns from lengthy injuries and youth make for a very shaky look into the Bobcats' future--but there is hope.
Ben "Jordan" and Luol Deng are back, but what the Bulls need is a shedding of roster weight.
A real threat at point guard? A deep bench? A bigger, faster, stronger LeBron James? Get outta here!
Dominique's not walking through that door...Spud Webb's not walking through that door...and neither will the Hawks, unless they build off of their successful 2007-2008 season.
Three's company...and with the Boston bench, the Celtics may be one big happy family in June 2009.
The Pacers will be in the mix for being Eastern Conference Playoffs contenders...but is that all that can be said?
Baron is good, Chris is good, Al is good, and Cuttino is still pretty decent...so why does this team appear to be the same ol' Clip Show?
Kobe is coming back with vigor, Andrew Bynum with his health and the Lakers at full strength. Any questions?
Bring the Mayo! O.J. can hope to restore some excitement to Tennessee (and give Vince Young a media break on the Tennessee Titans).
What do you get when you copy three different teams and use clip art inspiration for a professional basketball team? The Oklahoma City Thunder!
Christmas time is here! No, no, it's the new Milwaukee Bucks jersey, which is a welcome addition to the glut of uniforms of the status quo.
While the update of the Orlando Magic uniforms has made for good press, the actual finished product leaves more to be desired.
The Suns have only so much time to win; now, it's up to Amare Stoudemire and the bench, not Steve Nash, to deliver the goods.
The only ways for Milwaukee to win: Redd shoots well, Jefferson becomes the All-Star he's flirted with being and Bogut actually plays how he's paid (big).
Minnesota's frontcourt is going to be pretty good with Mike Miller, Al Jefferson and Kevin Love running the show. Outlet passes, three-pointers and dunks galore!
Wade's presence is a certainty; all else is a South Florida crap shoot.
With Jason Kidd and Richard Jefferson absent for the first time in seven years, the team may need some Vinsanity to make a playoff push.
With a updated, quasi-retro look, more experience and more Chris Paul, the New Orleans Hornets are much more than a longshot to win the West.
If Marbury, Curry and Randolph don't shapen up and fly right, the New York Knicks may perish another forgettable season. Don't hold your breath.
The Magic won't need any Clark Kents to win big; it'll need all that Dwight "Superman" Howard can give.
Here today, Thunder tomorrow: the Thunder may cause a few storms to strike, but don't count on season-long precipitation.
The City of Brotherly Love can look to good guys like Elton Brand to bring positive fortunes (and another Playoff berth) to the land of liberty.
The past has been everyone from Clyde Drexler and Terry Porter to the somewhat-villainous Isaiah Rider and Ruben Patterson. The present is new youth. Is the future greatness?
Will the Raptors actually win with a healthy (?) Jermaine O'Neal? A revitalized Andrea Bargnani? Veteran know-how? Watch and see...
Williams, Boozer, Okur, oh my! The Utah Jazz are looking for more championship trophies after Deron's and Carlos' Olympic win in the East.
2009 could be the Spurs' year for glory, but age, injury concerns and the new faces' cohesion will be the major themes for the black and silver.
With young guns solely running the team, the Sacramento Kings will be looking to rebuilt and reload on the fly in the firepowered Western Conference.
Gilbert Arenas is back. Caron's healthy as well. The young guys (hopefully) step it up. Is it the Wizards' time for prominence?
Seattle no more and without rights to the SuperSonics name, the transplanted Oklahoma City Thunder is now emerging from its past with a new identity.
The gold that eluded the United States for eight years came back home to emphasize its new commitment to team-oriented winning.
Walmart--is it as great a place as they say it? Or is it feeding on the ignorance and weaknesses of its lower-class workers and customers?
Creole blue, dark royal purple and gold make for quite a classy look for the 2008-2009 New Orleans Hornets.
Many young players have been eligible for big paydays. Many of them also received pay for underwhelming play. Unfortunately, NBA teams are still stupid.
For Nas, making an album solely dedicated to the magnificance and treachery of the N-word seemed like a good way for African Americans and other people of color to help reclaim their identity and history. What he actually ended up doing is making an underwhelming album.
The Nike Air Force One is not just a shoe of the functional past, but a shoe of the functional present.
With their respective teams looking to build on new future, the Minnesota and Sacramento franchises changed over for new uniform looks...with interesting results.
The center prospects of the NBA Draft have the most to lose, but also the most to gain...
While there is a general media focus on Derrick Rose and O.J. Mayo as the top guards, there are a number of other guards who will be top first round picks--even lottery picks.
With the Draft being filled with guards and centers, the forwards will be making names for themselves as dark horse selections in the first round.
The Boston Celtics won the 2008 title, but they really just saved their careers and reputations.
To say that the Boston Celtics made a fantastic turnaround from 2007 is an understatement, but for all of the talk and hype surrounding the trio of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, the only thing that is definite is the trio's lack of a championship.
The Detroit Pistons were poised to add onto their highly decorated pedigree. With six consecutive trips to the Eastern Conference Finals starting in the 2002-2003 NBA season, the Bad Boys were built like a tank.
The San Antonio Spurs fell to the L.A. Lakers, again failing to defend a title that they have won from a previous season.
Designed in Ken Griffey Jr.'s inaugural season with the Cincinnati Reds, the Nike Air Max Griffey 2000 was to be Griffey's breakout shoe in his anticipated breakout season coming from the Seattle Mariners.
One of the flagship shoes from Nike's Michael Jordan-directed Jordan Brand in 1998, the Trunner is a hybrid shoe that sought to be suitable as a "trainer" and as a "runner" in the same package, hence the name.
Saucony does a wonderful favor to its loyal followers, especially its running crowd.
Bill Bowerman made athletic shoe history when he used a waffle iron to press outsoles for his Oregon Ducks track squad. Ever since then, the bottom of a shoe, or the tread, has mattered when it comes to gaining a performance edge.

"I just said, 'Lord, if You get me through today...(pause) it just means so much." These are the words of Plaxico Burress, just moments after he won the NFL's Super Bowl XXII--he said those 15 words and he, and I, were moved to tears.
The recognizance of a woman, based on the simplistic and sexist nature of the chauvinistic male perspective, has been that of the anatomy-having breasts (preferably big), a shapely figure, and a small-lipped vagina.
With Jay-Z and Nas, their careers are already seen as wildly successful, and they are rap's living versions of John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
Shawn Carter started out as a finesse, mafioso rapper whose aim was to put his new business venture in Roc-A-Fella Records on the map by releasing his own album, seemingly as the only record that he would intend to record.
Jay-Z and Nas have become legends, living legends who have personified what it means to be the best, having given their fans many sides of themselves and many sounds of their evolutionary music for the past 13 years.
Underwear can be a tricky thing; you want to be comfortable and for men, having support and flexibility are the key things when it comes to underwear.

"Reality is not composed of things-in-themselves or things-behind-phenomena, but things-in phenomena." - Karen Barad
College is a place of new experiences, new challenges. It presents many with the chance to spread their wings, to grow into their skin, or in many cases, look at themselves and decide that they were not what they perceived themselves or were perceived by others to be.
