The Nike Barkley Posite Max shoe is available in four remaining colorways that will debut monthly through August 2013 and Nike also released some snazzy artwork to salute the “Round Mound of Rebound”.

Up until the release of this Julius Erving commercial that shows Dr.J slamming on Michael Cooper, before he presumably slams down a glass of Crown Royal. I already thought “The Doctor” was smooth. Now, I think he’s even smoother than a purple velvet Crown bag. Now that’s smooth.

The best way to explain the new harido Nick Young has is Kayne West in the front, Billy Ray Cyrus in the back.
