Basketball

It's been years since I last played pick-up basketball. The last time was at the fire station at Camp John Hay and that's ages ago. I think I have to go back for health sake (when we were young, we stopped playing for health sake. Dislocated shoulder. broken fingers) Like Bryan Boy, I looked at the Internet for some gears and here's what I found:


Not impressive you say. But then our idol Phoenix Suns guard/environmental pointman Steve Nash created this new basketball shoe, Nike Trash Talk $100, with an upper made of leather and synthetic leather pieces collected from the factory floor, mid-sole from factory scrap foam, and the outsole using less toxic rubber plus Nike Grind material from outsole manufacturing waste.

But the ball will make up for this environmental awareness. Nike Limited Edition Jordan 23 Basketball ($150). Only 2323 of the full-grain leather balls are being made, featuring the trademark Jumpman on the side, and a graphic chronicling his Airness' triumphs wrapping around.
