March is MADNESS! Podcast Goes In On Craziness!

Subscribe to our new Podcast on iTunes here | GEICO Nationals Breakdown

In episode No. 17 of our ?In The Paint Show,"? hosts?Devin Ugland and Ronnie Flores?break down all the madness that happened off the court as teams advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. Ron and Dev go in on the Big Baller Brand breakup and the explosive allegations made on Twitter by attorney Michael Avanetti, whom earlier this week was arrested on extortion charges against Nike after scheduling a press conference about potential laws and NCAA rules the shoe company giant broke.

For our probing topic, we bring in special guest Jason Jordan of USA Today to discuss the situation surrounding FAB 50 No. 2 McEachern (Powder Springs, Ga.). What's the insight on the 32-0 team backing out of GEICO Nationals?after head coach Mike Thompson publicly announced the team would make the trip to New York? Did the team's laser focus to go unbeaten change its GEICO outlook? Did Sharife Cooper's individual standing in the 2020 class play a role?

While that was big news on the high school basketball front, it paled in comparison to what happened on the college and pro levels. Lonzo Ball of the L.A. Lakers cut ties with Big Baller Brand business partner and co-founder?Alan Foster amid reports 1.5 million dollars from the BBB company (which Zo owns 51 percent of and his family over 80 percent) is unaccounted for. Ball publicly pointed the finger at Foster (who owns roughly 16 percent of the company), but also removed social posts that included the brand and his father Lavar Ball. Is Lonzo and Lavar Ball simply victims of a con? Is Lavar a sympathetic figure in this? Or should he shoulder a majority of the blame?

We also try to make sense of Avenatti's explosive claims against shoe company giant Nike. Those explosive Tweets came AFTER he was arrested for extortion, as he attempted to convince Nike to pay him and his client, Gary Franklin Sr. of the California Supreme travel club that played on the Nike EYBL circuit, in order to suppress evidence that the shoe company paid elite players who played on Franklin's travel club. Are the Tweets credible, considering the source is an attorney who faces criminal charges in two states? How will the NCAA respond to these allegations in light of the ongoing federal investigation into college basketball corruption? Will the power programs and coaches named by Avenatti survive the allegations? Will this development mar the rest of the NCAA Tournament?

This is our most explosive pod yet, so make sure to listen in!

15 Funniest Memes Of The Colin Kaepernick Nike Ad

David — Thu, 06 Sep 2018 10:31:57 +0000

https://www.instagram.com/p/BnRoVQTlFK9

Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything. Just Do It.

Those are the words from Nike and Colin Kaepernick in one of the most controversial and viral ad campaigns in recent memory. In less than three days, his tweet has generated over 350,000 retweets and his Instagram post has over 1 million likes and 63,000 comments. ESPN sports business reporter Darren Rovell's original tweet about the campaign reached over 22.6 million people and is his most retweeted and liked tweet.

The campaign has also generated way too many online arguments between extremists, racists, keyboard gangsters and people who apparently have a lot of spare time. It's also led to an amusing video of a guy ending up in the hospital because he burned his Nike shoes...while still wearing them. But, by far, the most amusing thing to come from the campaign are the parody Nike ads like this Kobe one by Grant Goldberg of Silver Screen and Roll.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BnXEQoMhKnb/?taken-by=ballislife

Most people appreciated the humor, but since it's 2018, a few people got offended and complained we were mocking a serious and inspirational movement. My response is "Laugh at something. Just Do It!"

Here's my favorite fake Nike ads, after the full real Nike commercial featuring Colin, LeBron and Serena Williams.

Kevin Knox Jr. is Florida's NEXT Basketball Star! AAU Season Mix

Staff — Mon, 19 Sep 2016 01:40:34 +0000

Kevin Knox Jr. is a 6'9" small forward from Tampa, Florida and considered one of the top seniors in the class of 2017. Knox is a do-it-all forward, as he can handle the rock, shoot from deep, and put the ball on the floor. He played for the U17 USA Team this summer capturing Gold along with playing for Florida-based E1T1 on the Nike Circuit. After a successful spring and summer Knox finished as high as no. 7 in the country on most recruiting outlets. His father. Kevin Knox Sr., was a star receiever at FSU and played in the NFL. Knox Jr. himself was a quarterback until he started growing too tall for the position. Look for the Florida native to make his decision soon as he announced his Top 5 of UNC, Duke, FSU, Kansas, and Kentucky.

New Kobe Bryant Nike Commercial: Don't Love Me. Hate Me.

David — Fri, 08 Apr 2016 20:53:39 +0000

It's only fitting that Kobe's last Nike commercial as a NBA player would be titled "Don't Love me. Hate me," considering his first Nike commercial, back in 2006, was called "Love me or Hate Me."

The latest Nike ad from Wieden + Kennedy, shot in black and white with a close-up of Bryant's face (similar to the look of the documentary 'Kobe Bryant's Muse') features Bryant giving a speech about why basketball fans love him and why they should hate him.

Because I gave you 4am. Because I pushed you when no one else would. Because I demanded greatness and greatness demands everything.

"Together with Nike China and Kobe, our team crafted the script and made sure the film was just as provocative as the man himself." Said W+K creative director Terence Leong. "It was an intense and uncompromising process because Kobe was just as demanding on the creative team as he was on the Lakers.

"He chose to focus on becoming a legend rather than being a hero. When it comes to winning, Kobe is willing to push himself to risk everything. Because standing back and doing nothing, that's real failure. This philosophy is very Nike 'Just do it,' and Kobe is the perfect person to deliver this spirit of Nike."

LOVE ME OR HATE ME COMMERCIAL (2006)

The reception for Kobe Bryant's latest commercial is sure to be welcomed with open arms but things weren't that warm and fuzzy a decade ago.

Bryant signed a deal with Nike two and a half year before his first commercial with them debuted during a Thursday night TNT game. The reason for the long delay was because shortly after he left Adidas to ink a deal with Nike in 2003, the Colorado rape case happened. McDonalds and Nutella dropped him after the allegations and Nike decided it was best to just delay any campaigns with him until things were settled. The case eventually fell apart, was settled in a civil suit and then in 2006, the "Love Me or Hate Me" TV spot promoting the Zoom Kobe 1 was released.

Hate my game, my swagger. Hate my hunger. Hate that I’m a veteran, a champion. Hate that. Hate it with all your heart. And hate that I’m loved for the exact same reasons.

Most people welcomed the anti-hero spot from W+K while many others -- like comedian Daniel Tosh (FYI, he is a Kobe and Lakers fan) -- poked fun at the ad.

Michael Jordan's First Deals & Commercials

David — Sat, 12 Sep 2015 11:55:54 +0000

The best day in Chicago Bulls history happened 31 years ago today when they signed their No. 3 pick from the 1983 draft to a deal of the century contract that paid Jordan less than a million dollars a year for his first couple of years of services. Not bad considering the Bulls attendance doubled by the end of Jordan's Rookie of the Year season and they didn't even want to draft him!

After his fifth season, the Bulls re-signed MJ to an eight-year deal worth $25 million, which also qualified as a deal of a century, although, every deal with MJ in the 80s and early 90s basically was a deal of a century. This included Quaker Oats' 10-year, $13.5-18 million deal to make MJ the face of their Gatorade drink. It's hard to imagine MJ and Gatorade not being a couple but Coke was actually the first drink to wine and dine him and then they made the mistake of being outbid by the Oatmeal makers.

The only relationship not happening that's harder to imagine than the Mike and his "Want to Be Like Mike" campaign makers is Mike not being with Nike. MJ's original deal with the shoemakers was worth about half a million a year and that relationship has been so beneficial to both parties that they now pay him over $60 million a year to endorse the brand and wear the Jordan shoes under his extra baggy ripped jeans. ?It's fun to think about how different things would have been if he got his original dream date and married Adidas instead.

With super agent David Falk by his side, Jordan also signed deals with McDonalds, Chevy ($200K as a rookie), General Mills ($2M in 88), Sara Lee, Wilson, Hanes Underwear ($10M in 89) and Ball Park Franks ($2M in 90). ?Despite the number of deals he had,?Jordan reportedly refused a lot of lucrative offers, including a million dollars for a one-day appearance in the country of Jordan to promote tourism.

Jordan would finally receive a huge NBA Pay Day in 1996 when he signed a one-year deal with the Bulls worth $30 million and then a one-year $33 million deal the following year. It was more than the Bulls wanted to pay, but considering the Knicks were rumored to be offering MJ a deal worth over $20 million, the Bulls had to make their biggest investment ever. Lucky for them, it paid off with back-to-back championships and a few more years with the GOAT.

Nike KD Trey 5 III Red/Black

Staff — Sat, 20 Jun 2015 00:45:42 +0000

The Nike KD Trey 5 III is the latest silhouette from Nike basketball. ?Unlike the previous KD 5's, the KD Trey 5 III's come as a mid cut shoe rather than a low top sneaker. ?The latest shoe features what looks to be a breathable mesh upper mid cut for that ankle support. ?There's also a forefoot strap to keep your foot in place.

Although it looks as if the shoe is only set to be released out in Asia. ?We have high hopes that the shoe will find its way overseas and have a stateside release. ?If these shoes stay in Asia & somehow you get your hands on them, be sure to snap a pic with them & tag #bilgear?so we can shout you out on a rare pickup for the states. ?Check the images below for a detailed look on the kicks.

Michael Jordan, Jason Kidd & Charles Barkley play 3-on-3 vs Sumo Wrestlers back in 96

David — Wed, 06 Aug 2014 15:44:54 +0000

Flashback to 1996 before Michael Jordan had a gut and Charles Barkley was as fat as a sumo wrestler in training. Nike, looking to take over the world, sent over many of their top endorsers, including Jordan, Barkley, Jason Kidd, Michael Finley and Damon Stoudamire to Japan to participate in the first Nike "Hoop Heroes" event.

Tickets to the televised event sold out in 20 minutes and although I'm sure the fans in Japan were excited to see Jordan and some of the best players in the world play a game of 3-on-3 with Sumo wrestlers, the game was pretty boring and would be a waste of time if not for the bizareness of the whole thing.

Flashback to almost exactly 1 year ago to September of 2013 and Adidas put on a much cooler event called "1 against 100" featuring Chicago's Derrick Rose taking on Sumo wrestlers, ninjas, dragons, Asian school girls, Asian children and just a bunch of Asians.

Tyler Ulis Ballislife Mixtape | Junior Season Highlights

Scott Comeau — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 06:06:58 +0000

While Chicago’s best known HS basketball players are Simeon's Jabari Parker, Whitney Young's Jahlil Okafor and Curie's Cliff Alexander, arguably the most valuable and BEST high school basketball player may Marian Catholic’s 5’8 star junior point guard Tyler Ulis.
With 22ppg (tops among 4A schools) from Ulis in addition to his assists, Marian Catholic has had their greatest win total in school history (25 and counting). As of this posting (Feb 2013), Ulis has scored over 1500 career points and over 300 assists with his Senior year still ahead!
If you’ve heard about him, now you can see him with your own eyes for the first time. And if you haven’t heard of him, here’s your first look at Class of 2014 phenom Tyler Ulis (Marian Catholic HS) from Chicago Heights, IL.

Jahlil Okafor Leads Comeback in Chicago City Title | Ballislife Recap

Scott Comeau — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 07:09:27 +0000

Arguably the nation's top player in the Class of 2014, Jahlil Okafor scored 19 points, grabbed 14 rebounds and blocked seven shots as #4 Young defeated #2 Morgan Park 60-56 in overtime in the Public League title game at Chicago State. The win gives Young its first city title since 1998.
Morgan Park's Division-1 bound senior guards Billy Garrett (Depaul) and Kyle Davis (Dayton) as well as rising-star 6'7 junior Josh Cunningham have wreaked havoc on their competition all season. If they were able to penetrate in this game, they weren't unable to score in the bunches they're used to. Davis led Morgan Park (26-3) with 14pts and 6 rebounds. Garrett finished with 12 points. Cunningham had 9 points (including 2 nice dunks), 5 rebounds.
Whitney Young Junior Miles Reynolds’ three-pointer with 53 seconds to play was the biggest shot of the game. It tied the score at 51 (after Young trailed by 7 at the half), and sent the game to overtime (and set off his dad and Chicago's Mayor Rahm Emanuel in the stands). Reynolds finished with 13 points (3-threes).
Young transfer from South Carolina, Junior LJ Peak contributed 15 points, 5 rebounds including some clutch hoops in OT.
In the end, it was all about Chicago's biggest fella, Jahlil Okafor. In the biggest game of his high school career, he came up biggest and he was too much for Morgan Park to overcome on this night.
