Tru School Of Kicks: Reebok Kamikaze "Remember The Alamo"

The Reebok retro movement has brought back a great line up of classic footwear back into the hands of sneaker heads everywhere and has connected generations. With the retro sneakers being back people in the shoe game experiment using different silhouettes in colorways that were never thought of. The Reebok Kamikaze 2 inspired by Seattle Supersonics star Shawn Kemp was used as the basis for Packer Shoes to use a colorway so crazy that sneaker heads worldwide wouldn't know what to do with themselves. Enter the “Remember The Alamo” and the gaudy colorway that comes with it and you have a pretty classic sneaker on your hands.

The sneaker features a grey/silver/white base with orange/pink/blue accents inspired by the old colors of the San Antonio Spurs in the 1990's. The shoe will be released August 2^nd exclusively threw Packer shoes, you can follow them on Twitter @packershoes. All in all I'm looking forward to the response from the world of sneaker lovers. I'm pretty sure ina few months I'll see these in my neck of the woods on someones foot here in South Florida@PackerShoes

Let It Fly: Danny Green & Gary Neal

Last night in game 3 of the NBA Finals the San Antonio Spurs shot the Miami Heat out of the building in a 113-77 blowout. The fact that I'm even calling it a blowout should be considered a compliment to Heat fans they gave up an NBA Finals record 16 Three Pointers. I have never seen any team shoot the ball like I saw Danny Green and Gary Neal last night who shot a combined 13-19 from behind the 3 point line.

It's great to see guys like that succeed especially in the NBA Finals. I remember when Lebron James played in Cleveland and Danny Green wore street clothes he barely ever suited up for the Cavs and was cut a few years ago. Green a 2009 National Champion of the UNC Tarheels played for 3 D-league teams and had a stint playing in Slovenia and now he is dropping 27 points in the NBA Finals against the NBA's best team, you just can't write this stuff.

Gary Neal like Green has had a journey and a half to the NBA. After playing basketball at La Salle and Townson he went undrafted in 2007 and played three seasons of pro basketball overseas all before Signing with the Spurs in 2010. After proving himself in his 1^st season he was rewarded with NBA All-Rookie 1^st team honors. Now he is looking video game like in the NBA Finals dropping 24 points while him and Danny Green outscore the Heat Big three 51-43.

These dudes could have stopped playing pro basketball years ago but stuck to it, worked their tail off and waited patiently for a chance. Now They are key contributors on a team looking to stay a perfect 5 for 5 in the NBA Finals and dethrone the best player in the world and defending champs from repeating. So this is a great example for all those basketball players who want to make it stick to your dreams, work hard and wait for your chance and maybe you could be the next Danny Green or Gary Neal.
