Galaxy Foamposite not releasing on NikeStore online
Nike may have just crushed as many dreams as they lifted when word first got out about these kicks releasing this weekend. About a hour ago, @nikestore tweeted the following:
#ReleaseUpdate. Due to extremely limited quantities, we will not be launching the “Galaxy” Foamposite One at NikeStore online.
Better pitch tents…NDC is a haven for kick fiends alike to buy, and more importantly an outlet to prevent camping. Ironically, buying from the site is practically impossible cause the site reportedly crashed during big releases..
Going to be an interesting week…

Jamal Williams
San Diego Chargers Jamal Williams (Defensive tackle) has officially left the chargers. This isn’t a good look, I mean beyond who was really doing their best out on that field and who’s stats were better. We have already lost to many players. It wasn’t a bad season for the San Diego Chargers. As some say they choked up before the big game I simply think they did much better than last season and they will continue to go up with or without certain people. Although myself it’s hard to believe because after LT was out I was hurt and surprised. He was one of San Diego’s favorites and now this news, the team will never be the same. Better? idk let’s see what “Coach” has in store for us. Big ups and Mad love to all the fans standing strong behind any decisions they finally come to. We might loose some but we will win many more. . . Loving your team is equal to loving your city. – - GHARGERS!

Shaq x D.Howard = NO BEEF?
As entertaining and childish it would be to see two grown ass men bicker about who is the Superman of the NBA. Dwight Howard (Center of The Orlando Magic) decided to be the “bigger man” and move on to making his team better. If you follow Shaq’s career he has a reputation of not respecting other big men (centers) of his time. Supposedly Shaq didn’t take it too kindly about Dwight Howard calling himself Superman.
Here is what D. Howard had to say in light of the situation:
“The whole Superman thing, there’s no battle of nicknames. I mean, if he wants to be Superman, he can be Superman. But I never tried to steal that title from him or take away anything that he’s done for the game of basketball.
“I would like, instead of people fighting over a nickname, for us to be able to talk about what it’s like to win a championship. Just little things that him being who he is can help me,” Howard said on TNT. “But I never tried to do anything to be like him. I’m my own person. I just love to have fun, and I have a lot of respect for him and what he’s brought to the game of basketball, and I would just ask that somebody like Shaquille O’Neal to help me become a better basketball player and a better person.”
