So a friend of mine who knows I love the Kings and started following them because of me and Keegan surprised me with a pair of kings colored Jordan’s! How cool is that?

do not give a hoot about modern shoe technology when it comes to Jordans the Jordan I is the only Jordan for me.
I had a pair of the original ones in high school and like them just for that reason. For me, the nostalgia level of that shoe design is pretty high.
It's like OG Chuck Taylors. They are murder on your feet and you aren't going to hoop in them but the design is timeless. Those OG Jordan 1s have never been matched. The more technical they get they uglier they get for me. But those, the original Converse Weapons, the Revolutions. Those were some shoes.
I think Jordan's came out when I was in 6th grade. They seemed like diamonds. Anyone who had them it seemed like you could see them coming a mile away. Those blue and black ones 
Never owned a pair.
By sophomore year like 6 guys on my team had the IVs. I thought those were fugly. I had some all white Nike hightops, no idea the model.

Yeah, they weren't the greatest for me, either, but I didn't let that stop me. I sucked at basketball so I got cut every year (except freshman year where they didn't have to cut anyone). I certainly didn't play much basketball in them other than practices. I did use them for track (shot and discus - the "fat man" sports as they were called). There's a photo of me in my senior yearbook with REALLY bad discus form but the shoes look sweet, even in black and white.

sneaker investing and collecting can be a very lucrative investment approach. it explains why you have people camping outside stores to get an exclusive pair.

I bought a pair of the original red and black Jordan’s with my own money my freshman year in HS. I never heard the end of it from my dad, for spending $60 (IIRC) for a pair of shoes.
Wore those shoes out pretty hard. Then never ended up buying another pair of Jordan’s or super expensive basketball shoes again. I was a huge MJ fan at the time, but never a ”sneakerhead”.

Where can one find a pair of THOSE?!
Same here.

Is there any reason why the Beam can't also shine down through the arena landing right on the center court logo?

JJ is back in his cycle of buttering us up and then leaving us on the stove to burn for ten minutes.
Today he said we have one of the brightest futures in the NBA

Lots of love for Foxy around the league. And we know he bleeds purple.
Maybe he's finally the recruiter we need to become serious players on the free agent market

A somewhat silly video but some cool parallels!

I wonder if Foxy has any ties to PJ Washington who is also a Kentucky alum..... Washington should be on Monte's short list for PF..... He's a floor spacer PF that blocks shots and plays good defense...... he's 6'7" or 6'8" but has a 7'3" wingspan.... He's still has a lot of upside at 24 years old..... If the Kings give him a big offer, maybe we can pry him away from Charlotte?

For those looking for a great movie about an ex King and Domas’s dad I highly recommend the movie “The other Dream Team”.

I have a Grateful Dead / Lithuania basketball t-shirt that I still wear once in a while. A great story.
