[The nations #1 college basketball team Duke's Zion] Williamson left the game that was just 33 seconds old, and did not return. [The Duke Blue Devils team officials] said he had suffered a knee injury, the severity of which was not yet known. The 18-year-old Williamson is expected to be the No. 1 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. The [6' 7"] 285-pound forward has been averaging 22.4 points and 9.2 rebounds a game. Social media was quick to pounce on Nike...

Zion was rated as only a top 5 NBA prospect entering last summers Draft at age 17. By waiting just one season, now a year older, playing for the NCAA’s #1 college basketball team, he’s virtually guaranteed being the #1 pick, has 2 million followers on Instagram and is ‘courting’ prospective mega global shoe deals as he enters the NBA in the 2019-2020 season.
Interesting. I wonder if theyll examine the shoe to determine whether it was a genuine Nike product or not.
Yeah, since its free it changes alot.
I loaded in Supremacy and cCloudtv.
All the sports and then some + most TV.
One-and-Done is killing college basketball.
U can load Kodi into your home computer also or buy the little media box for the flatscreen TV.
Kodi is the interface on a computer. I load it with Supremacy and cCloudtv.
Not sure. I have Kodi loaded into my apple home computer. Loaded with Supremacy and cCloudtv.
Most of those tiny media boxes do the trick.
Get woke, go broke.
Thumbs UP!
Gee, my $12 Walmart running shoes can do that trick. But I bond them back with Shoe Goop and they last another year or so.
Absolutely! I quit when that became the norm.
Why invest in a team when the concept of team is gone?
‘Mild knee sprain”
That would depend on who’s knee it is. Yours or someone else.
I don’t follow NBA or college basketball too closely. But when did things change? I know many years ago, that the NBA didn’t draft players until they had finished their college eligibility. Was there a legal case involved, and/or agreement with the NBA players union, about when players can enter the NBA?
“One and done” has been the rule for years.

His shoes are hand delivered from the Nike rep
“He was wearing a pair of Nikes Kaepernick Ultra Kneelers when all hell broke loose.”
It’s getting harder and harder to find good child labor under a buck an hour!
Found out it was Spectrum who had the ESPN outage!!!

I will not forgive Spectrum for this outage of such a great win for my Tar Heels.
At least I had the radio...but it was not the same.
Nike is for losers.
Just don’t do it.
I had a Nike Air sole separate from the upper a year ago. I also used Shoe Goop to reattach the sole. So far, so good.
Damn Vietnamese. You just can’t depend on quality slave labor anymore.
Just Blew It.
The same thing happened during the Bama-Clemson game. I called Spectrum at that time and they said that ESPN had pulled the plug on Spectrum Streaming TV (ABC/ESPN station, I think) and to switch to the ESPN Cable channel that also came with the Spectrum subscription. That worked.
I was not watching this game, so not sure if that was the problem. Perhaps the same Show Director/Enginer that handled the AFL-Heidi Game was on duty?
