The Corny Life

Nike made a Christmas Day Collection of shoes. Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Kevin Durant and Amare Stoudamire wore their signature basketball shoes on Christmas day. The new kicks have Christmas colors to celebrate the holiday.

I don’t know if you could really wear these on the court. It’s colors are really vibrant. Or maybe it’s their strategy to distract their opponents. 

No worries, these shoes have the regular version with same features but less striking colors. Here’s a comparison.

KEVIN DURANT’S ZOOM KD IV

CHRISTMAS:

Strapped, metallic copper with black prints and red shoe lace. It has a lighting thread sole.

*** I find it classy.

REGULAR:

Black with blue and orange (color of his team, Oklahoma City Thunder).

Also comes in a Weatherman version and a Nerf version.

*** I love the Nerf! It’s very colorful. My favorite version. People should wear this when playing laser tag.

LEBRON JAMES’ LEBRON 9

CHRISTMAS:

Red with green shoe lace. It has a flywire system and a midfoot harness. It also has a padding on the side.

REGULAR:

Black with hints of red and white. Colors of Miami Heat.

***I find it unique because of the padding at the side.

KOBE BRYANT’S ZOOM KOBE VII SYSTEM

CHRISTMAS:

Neon colors. Green and violet with red shoe lace. They say it’s inspired by a leopard (you can see the leopard print) and a shark. It has a wrap-up strap and flywire cables. 

***Barney the dinosaur’s colors! Hahaha! I like the colors but if I was on the court with Kobe, I’d be blinded by these.

REGULAR:

Black and yellow and white. 

***Bumblebee themed! This should be the official Juniors’ shoes! HAHA! Black and Yellow! :))

AMARE STOUDEMIRE’S AIR MAX SWEEP THRU

CHRISTMAS:

Green with red and white midfoot strap.

REGULAR:

Black and grey.

***Batman themed! :))

Those are the Christmas and regular versions of Nike’s signature shoes. I think that the regular versions are more appropriate in the court. The people’s attention should be on the game and not on the shoes. While the Christmas version are for casual attire— for parties, malls, fashion shows.

It’s the season to be jolly again! Finally, the NBA is back after that lockout! What a great Christmas gift. Here’s a blog post about the rookies you should watch out for.

JIMMER FREDETTE

This 22 year old from Bringham Young University is now playing as a guard with jersey number 7 for the Sacramento Kings.

Here he is rocking his Kings jersey. :)

In his first game with the Kings during the preseason, he scored 21 points with 4 rebounds, 4 assists and a steal. Sadly, they lost to the Golden State Warriors.

In his debut game against the Lakers, he scored 6 points with 1 rebound and 3 assists. They beat LA with the score of 100-91! Yeah! Hahaha! Laker hater right here. 

RICKY RUBIO

This 21 year old Spanish guy is the first player born in the 1990’s to be drafted in the NBA. He is the point guard of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

In his preseason game, he scored 6 points with 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. They won with a score of 117-96 against the Milwaukee Bucks.

In his first season game, he scored 6 points with 5 rebounds and 6 assists. They lost to Oklahoma City Thunder by 4 points, 100-104.

So here are two of the rookies you should watch out for this season of the NBA. Will Jimmer be a King with a ring or will Ricky and his wolf pack win the game?

Yes! A dream come true for the Mavs, the fans and for me. The TIME is NOWitzki:)

I really prayed for the mavs to win. Every night I prayed to God. There is also this belief that when it is your first time to enter a church you can ask for a wish. So when I went to Zamboanga, I wished for the mavs to win the championship in every church that I went in.

I wasn’t able to watch the game live because I was in school. I watched the replay and boy the mavs did a good job! They really had teamwork. Dirk was not getting his shots so the others stepped up and did it for the mavs. 

I was really feeling the game even though it was a replay. I was cheering and screaming the players’ names while watching.

Dirk was the finals MVP! And he really deserved it! I was teary eyed when he was being awarded the trophy.

As for Jason Kidd! Well, what can I say? 17 years in the making! 17 years of hard work! And now he has a ring! Well he’ll have 2 rings this year because I heard he’ll get married on September. 

Bravo to the Dallas Mavericks and to Coach Rick Carlisle! So excited for my Dirk Nowitzki inspired shirt! Haha!

Good Job to Boom Gonzalez, TJ Manotoc and Jason Webb for covering the NBA Finals and representing the Philippines! 

Also, congrats to Coach Erik Spoelstra for doing a good job coaching the Heat! Proud to be pinoy! 

Well for the Heat Haters, here you go. :))
