In a Dime Magazine exclusive – Kevin Durant, Brandon Jennings, and Stephen Curry talk about EA Sports’ newest offering – NBA Elite 2011 (with KD35 on the cover).  It’s cool hearing what these rising NBA stars have to say about the game but I think in 6 month’s they’ll have a 360 controller in hand with this CD popped in the console.

Even though we’re in the middle of the World Cup frenzy, I’m sure Nash will have some surprises in store for the fans.  At least three NBA ballers are already confirmed to play – Brandon Jennings (Milwaukee Bucks), Tony Parker (San Antonio Spurs), and Jared Dudley (Phoenix Suns).  I’m sure other players will be rolling through too since the NBA Draft is this Thursday.  I’ll definitely be rolling through to take in the action so say what up if you see me.  It’s going down at Nike Football x Sara D Roosevelt Park on Houston Street (in between Chrystie and Stanton street).

NBA stars.  Soccer’s best.  An urban field.  A sweet 8-a-side game of futbol in the middle of a city benefiting children’s programs on three continents.

Steve brings his passion to play in this innovative match that any sports fan will love.  Showcasing athletes from two sports, Showdown is the beautiful game at its most creative.  With international rosters that have included Steve Nash, Thierry Henry, Claudio Reyna, Tony Parker, Adrian Mutu, Grant Hill, Ivan Cordoba, Baron Davis, Javier Zanetti, Ryan Babel, Salomon Kalou, Simone Sandri, Martin Nash, Mathieu Flamini, Edgar Davids and Chris Bosh the Showdowns are events not to be missed!

The Showdown in Chinatown is a free to the public event located on Chrystie St. and Stanton St. on the lower east side.  Steve Nash, Claudio Reyna, Tony Parker, Simone Motto, Brandon Jennings, Giuseppe Rossi and more!  For ways to make your assist for kids, click here.

Common vs. Milwaukee Buck’s Brandon Jennings in basketball?  George Lopez even knew Common had no chance against Young Money (not the rap group)…

Is Milwaukee Buck’s Bango the best mascot in the NBA?  I think so.  It’s hard to argue that statement after seeing the #FearTheDeer promo video and now seeing him do slam dunk back flips off a ladder.

If Carlos Delfino’s dunk over J-Smoove and Zaza wasn’t enough to join the #FearTheDeer movement, then this video of the Milwaukee Bucks’ mascot Bango going berserk on an Atlanta Hawks fan should be.

How is no one talking about this dunk?  Carlos Delfino slammed all over BOTH Josh Smith and Zaza Pachulla last night as the Milwaukee Bucks tied up the series 2-2 against the Atlanta Hawks.

Glen “Big Baby” Davis aka The Gooch got posterized last night. Unlike Derrick Rose, he fully tried to challenged the attempt and got crammed on by the big Australian, Andrew Bogut. I wonder if Big Baby cried after the game?

I told you earlier this week to start paying close attention to the NBA’s Young Money aka Brandon Jennings, point guard of the Milwaukee Bucks.  Here’s a nice short video that the NBA put together that show’s his journey to the league.

No this isn’t the newest member of Weezy’s Young Money but rather the NBA’s early candidate lock for their Rookie Of The Year Award.  If you don’t know who the Milwaukee Bucks’ Brandon Jennings is, you will soon enough especially if he keeps having 55 point outbursts like he did last night against the Golden State Warriors.  New York Knick’s fans are supposedly already sending hate mail to Donny Walsh for picking Jordan Hill over Young Money in the draft lol.

Under Armour’s has always been known as a football apparel brand but is hoping the signing of Milwaukee Buck’s rookie Brandon Jennings will help propel them into a major player in the basketball world.  This first commercial is a good start and I think Brandon “Young Money” Jennings (I didn’t give him that nickname btw) is going to be a good player and will get a lot of fans because of his flashy swagger he plays with so that’ll be a good look for Under Armour.
