Nicknamed the “shelltoe”, “shell shoes” or “shell tops” for its rubber shell toe piece, its iconic design is known for being one of the major influences in the sneaker culture.History When the shoe was introduced, it was the first low-top basketball shoe to feature an all-leather upper and the now famous rubber shelltoe.

Within the first few years of its introduction, the Superstar was being worn by over 75 % of all NBA players; proof of its revolutionary technology which remains relevant today.

The trio was most notable for wearing the Superstars without any laces and pushing the tongue of the shoe out,

The Alamodome is a domed 65,000 seat, multi-purpose facility that is primarily used as a football/basketball stadium and convention center in San Antonio, Texas, USA. The facility opened on May 15, 1993, at a cost of $186 million.

The Spurs played basketball in the Alamodome for a decade, then became disenchanted with the facility and convinced Bexar County to construct them at the San Antonio Livestock Exposition Inc. a new arena now called the AT&T Center.

Amiri and Odette: A Love Story

$0.01

A boy searches for his newfound love among the city streets, to find that, unwarily, she’s been caught in the arms of an evil street lord who means her harm. It is only through perseverance and undying love that the girl is returned to the safety of her one true love. Lyrical text and stunning mixed media artwork make for a powerful recasting of the classic ballet Swan Lake.They danced like mist on waterAs light as summer breeze.He touched her waist; she kissed his cheek.Her eyes began to tease.Set among the asphalt of a housing project and the concrete of a basketball court, Walter Dean Myers’ compelling work is delivered with rhythms that twist, hover, pounce, and inspire. For Amiri and Odette, love is hard when the streets are mean. Their dance for two becomes a fight for three, and their only chance is to hold fast to the power of being together as one. Part poem, part love story, part rap and rhapsody, AMIRI AND ODETTE: A DANCE FOR TWO celebrates hearts that beat forever. Accompanied by the collage-on-cinder-block paintings of Javaka Steptoe, this genre-breaking volume sets a new stage for a classic story.

Asphalt Gods: An Oral History of the Rucker Tournament

$19

The real basketball deal–the inside story of Harlem’s legendary tournament and the pros and playground legends who have made it world famous.Earl “The Goat” Manigault. Herman “Helicopter” Knowings. Joe “The Destroyer” Hammond. Richard “Pee Wee” Kirkland. These and dozens of other colorfully nicknamed men are the “Asphalt Gods,” whose astounding exploits in the Rucker Tournament, often against multimillionaire NBA superstars, have made them playground divinity. First established in the 1950s by Holcombe Rucker, a New York City Parks Department employee, the tournament has grown to become a Harlem institution, an annual summer event of major proportions. On that fabled patch of concrete, unknown players have been lighting it up for decades as they express basketball as a freestyle art among their peers and against such pro immortals as Julius Erving and Wilt Chamberlain. X’s and O’s are exchanged for oohs and aahs in one of the great examples of street theater to be found in urban America.Asphalt Gods is a streetwise, supremely entertaining oral history of a tournament that has influenced everything from NBA playing style to hip-hop culture. Now, legends transmitted by word of mouth find a home and the achievements of basketball’s greatest unknowns a permanent place in the game’s record.From the Hardcover edition.

The Adelaide 36ers tally of four championships is second behind the Perth Wildcats as the most by any team in the NBL’s history. The Adelaide 36ers were formerly known as the Adelaide City Eagles when they joined the NBL in 1982, and the club changed its name to the Adelaide 36ers 1983 with the nickname reflecting the Adelaide’s settlement in 1836. This is similar to Philadelphia’s NBA franchise 76ers adopting their nickname in reference to the signing of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia, in 1776. Between 1982 and 1991 the home court of the 36ers was Apollo Stadium. In 1992 the team moved to the Clipsal Powerhouse. Later it became known as the Distinctive Homes Dome in recognition of the sponsorship from Distinctive Homes. In 2009 The Dome was left without a naming rights sponsor, but after the court was named in honour of Brett Maher, the venue is now referred to as the “Brett Maher Court”. The Adelaide 36ers were previously sponsored by Pura milk and with the naming rights of Pura Milk 36ers. Before this they were the West End 36ers (as in West End Brewery). In 2009 the team is sponsored by Hood Sweeney, an Adelaide based consulting firm and is now known as the Hood Sweeney Adelaider 36′ers. Other major sponsors include KIA Motors and Sprint Auto Parts. The 36ers have reached the playoffs 17 times in 22 seasons, and on top of their four championships (1986, 1998, 1999, 2002), reached the Grand Final on… More:

Excerpt: The Old Oquirrh Bucket (named after the Oquirrh Mountains to the west of Salt Lake City) is the symbol of in-state basketball supremacy in Utah. Every year since 1974 the trophy has been awarded to the in-state college team (Utah State, Utah, Southern Utah, BYU, UVU, and Weber State) which has the best win-loss record against in-state competition. In 1974, a proposal was presented to create a trophy a symbol to be awarded annually to Utah’s best college basketball team. The concept was accepted and for the first two years the in-state title was awarded to the Aggies, although no actual trophy had been determined. In 1977, after Weber State won the title for the first time, an Ogden businessman located a pioneer bucket at a local auction, complete with a history of how it had been found. It has since become the traveling trophy emblematic of Utah college basketball supremacy. The plaque on the bucket includes a map with the names and locations of the 4 original schools (BYU, U of U, USU, and WSC). SUU and UVU did not field Division-I basketball programs at the time the trophy was created, but have since become NCAA Division-I programs. The plaque includes the caption “The Oquirrh Bucket Utah State Collegiate Champ Basketball”. Utah has won the bucket 14 times, followed by Utah State and BYU with 9 victories, and Weber State with 4. … More: http://booksllc.net/?id=3007311

Excerpt: Aurora Basket Jesi, also known for sponsorship reasons as Fileni Jesi is an Italian professional basketball team from the town of Jesi. In that far 1965, Gianni Rossetti (a RAI – National TV Network – journalist), Carlo Barchiesi (current president) and Primo Novelli (who used to be in charge of the junior teams) who set up Aurora Basket couldnt foresee such a successful future for their new born team. It was in those years that Springoil, the most important basketball team of the city at that time, was very close to move up to the A League (the highest division of Italian professional basketball), but it wound up due to economical problems. (This team was set up by Ottorino Apolloni and since he died, a pre-season game is held in his memory every year). Hence immediately there was the need to re-launch basketball in Jesi. The first step was taken by Roberto Vigo. Also Roberto Mancini, one of the most popular soccer players in Italy, used to play in the ground of his parish when he was a child. Roberto Vigo proposed to Gianni Rossetti to set up a basketball team inside the Aurora Group. This way Aurora Basket was officially set up by the managers Rossetti, Barchiesi and Novelli together with President Mario Gherardi. The first season 1965/1966 was in the first Regional division and the team moved up only three years later. The team experienced a slow growth in the first years, but then it started to grow gradually when other new managers and the first sponsors joined the team and when the junior teams were started. At the same time, the senior team became more and more successful and only after 10 years Aurora moved up to an important national division (called D division) in the 1973/74 season. Since then the team has alway… More:

Excerpt: Terrell Eldorado Owens (pronounced ) (born on December 7, 1973) is an American football wide receiver. He is currently a free agent. A six-time Pro Bowl selection, and former holder of the league single-game reception record, Owens has been one of the dominant receivers of his era. As productive as he has been, Owens has been equally controversial, creating firestorms with almost every team he has played for as a professional. Owens played college football and basketball at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and was selected in the third round of the 1996 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers. Owens was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2004 after a spat with 49ers front office members. Two years later, he was released and signed to another large pact by the Dallas Cowboys, only to be given his unconditional release on March 4, 2009 and signed by the Bills several days later. Popularly known by his initials, T.O., Owens is both renowned and reviled for his flamboyant touchdown celebrations, earning him many fines and his teams frequent penalties for his end zone theatrics. Terrell Owens was born to LC Russel and Marilyn Heard in Alexander City, Alabama. He grew up with three other siblings and was raised by his mother and grandmother. He enjoyed watching football, especially his favorite player, Jerry Rice. However, Owens grandmother initially forbade him from playing sports until high school.

He was the main cog in the Maroon forward wall and seldom allowed substantial gains to be made through him. He generally mixed in every play, varied his charges and was always down the field under kicks. The Maroon followed the ball with rare cunning and has had enough experience to hold his own with any lineman in the West.” Shull was also captain of the Chicago Maroons baseball team in 1916 and a member of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity, the Three Quarters Club, the Skull and Crescent, the Order of the Iron Mask, the Owl and Serpent and in his last year was selected a University marshal.

Excerpt: Marvin Daniel Levy (born August 3, 1925 in Chicago, Illinois) is a former American and Canadian Football coach and front office executive. He is a former professional football coach, in the CFL as head coach of the Montreal Alouettes (19731977), and in the NFL as head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs (19781982) and the Buffalo Bills (19861997), coaching the Bills to four consecutive American Football Conference Championships.

Following graduation, he enlisted in the Army Air Forces and spent the remainder of World War II in the military; Levy was discharged from the army shortly afterwards. Though he was known to use historical examples to inspire his teams, Levy corrected those who used war and combat metaphors to describe football games by telling them that he actually fought in a war and that football and war were in no way comparable. Levy enrolled at Coe College in Iowa. There he earned varsity letters in football, track, and basketball. He obtained a degree in English literature, was granted membership in the Phi Beta Kappa Society, and was twice voted student council president. He was also a member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. He was admitted to Harvard University for graduate studies in 1951, earning a masters degree in English history.

Excerpt: The UCLAUSC rivalry is the college rivalry between two universities located in Los Angeles, California: the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Southern California. The athletic competition rivalry between the two schools is among the more notable in NCAA Division I sports because both schools are located within the same city. The campuses are only 12 miles apart. The sheer proximity of both alumni and students, and the likelihood of encountering each other and interacting on a daily basis make this one of the most intense college rivalries in the United States. USC is recognized as consistently having one of the top football programs in the nation, while UCLA is recognized as consistently having one of the top basketball programs in the nation. However, a somewhat rare confluence of events occurred in 1954, which began with USC in a Final Four appearance in the 1954 NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament and ended with UCLA winning their only NCAA Division I-A national football championship. UCLA and USC’s flags fly side by side at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.Both schools also are successful in many “non-revenue” sports. Both have had success in track and field, water polo, tennis, and women’s basketball. Through April 2010, UCLA had won 105 NCAA team championships and 128 total national championships, which is more than any other college or university. The UCLA Women’s Water Polo team beat USC’s team 6-3 to win the 2008 Championship on May 11, followed by the Women’s Tennis the following week beating California 4-0 to win their first women’s tennis championship and the school’s 102nd NCAA title. However, UCLA was knocked out by USC Women of Troy in Women’s Golf on May 23, 2008. USC captured the 2008 NCAA … More:

He is a former Welsh Under-21 international and played in the Football League for Crystal Palace, Torquay United and Hereford United before dropping into non-league football. Andy Martin was educated at Corpus Christi High School in Cardiff. He was a proficient sportsman who excelled in basketball and track and field, and captained the school’s Rugby team (which also included future Newport RFC prop Dai Pattison and Telford Tigers’ ice hockey forward Joe Miller) to the final of the Welsh National Schools Competition in May 1996. However, it was in football that he came to prominence after he was selected for the Wales Under-19s that year, and was spotted by a scout from Crystal Palace, of whom he was an avid supporter in his school days. A year later, Martin began his career as a trainee at Crystal Palace, turning professional in the 1997 close season. He made his debut on 3 April 1999, playing in Palace’s 1-0 win away to Norwich City. He made two further appearances at the end of that season.

Detroit’s Got Soul

$9.99

Negroes have become blacks, whites have taken flight to the suburbs and the Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit wants to close nearly all of its inner-city schools, including Visitation, where the Waterman family attends school and church. But the Waterman’s have a different idea – save the schools – save the children!

Things heat up for the Waterman family as heroin use explodes in Detroit like an atomic bomb and the police seem to run amuck under a new tactical unit called STRESS. Meanwhile Mike, the eldest of the three Waterman children, and his St. Martin DePorres’ (newly merged) basketball team prepare to compete for the city title against neighborhood rival Central High School. Some of the elders in the neighborhood warn the children ‘Be careful where you step, it’s a mine-field out there’. But Frank tells his family and community to ‘Keep pushing… we can reach our higher goal, because Detroit’s got soul’.”

Down Home Missouri: When Girls Were Scary and Basketball Was King

$7.25

When I was thirteen, we moved to Dalton, Missouri, a flyspeck on the road map, so my father could supervise the 960-acre farm he and his two partners had bought several years before. It was a return to his roots. Our new home in Dalton was infinitely more primitive than our South Side Chicago apartment and even more primitive than my aunt and uncle’s hill-country house on the other side of the county. It was a hotel, one that hadn’t entertained guests for decades. It was a nightmare the likes of which my father never had. Not only did the hotel lack an indoor toilet and potable water, it also had no bathing facility.In this warmly witty account, Joel Vance re-creates what it was like for a city kid to have his life changed almost entirely when he is transplanted from his Chicago birthplace to his father’s home country in rural Missouri—where basketball was the major social event and a night out might be a trip to the burger joint in town.While Vance writes about his relatives and their roots in Missouri and Wisconsin, his focus is on his growing-up years in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The anguish of adolescence is detailed, but lightened with Vance’s special skill for humor. Dating, French kissing, drinking, hog castration, and vocational agriculture are just a few of the experiences that Vance recalls. His comical encounters with the local citizenry, his social misadventures, and his fumbling exploits on the high school basketball and baseball teams are interwoven with reflections on weightier matters, such as the mismanagement of the Missouri River and its wetlands by the Corps of Engineers. He shares his emotions, his dreams, and the realities of his high school days, capturing the essence of the experiences of many who lived in the Midwest at midcentury.Although Vance’s writing is funny—sometimes laugh-out-loud funny—there are poignant moments, too, when the realities of life and death are immediate and personal.

Excerpt: Leonard Kevin “Len” Bias (November 18, 1963 June 19, 1986) was a first team All-American college basketball player. He was selected by the Boston Celtics as the second overall pick in the 1986 NBA Draft on June 17, but died two days later from cardiac arrhythmia induced by a cocaine overdose. He is considered by some sportswriters to be one of the greatest players not to play at the professional level. Bias was known to friends and family by his childhood nickname “Frosty”. He was given the nickname by his good friend and pastor Rev. Gregory Edmond because he was “tall and cool and quiet and unassuming”. From Landover, Maryland, Bias graduated from Northwestern High School in Hyattsville, Maryland, and subsequently attended the University of Maryland where he became an All-American player. Wearing number 34, Bias impressed basketball fans with his amazing leaping ability, his physical stature and his ability to create plays and was considered one of the most dynamic players in the nation. By his senior year, scouts from the various National Basketball Association teams viewed Bias as the most complete forward in the Class of 1986. Bias was favorably compared by some to Michael Jordan, then in his second professional season with the Chicago Bulls. On June 17, Bias was selected by the defending NBA champion Celtics as the second overall pick in the 1986 NBA Draft, which was held in New York City at Madison Square Garden. Arnold “Red” Auerbach, as Boston Celtic President and General Manager, dealt guard Gerald Henderson and cash to the Seattle Supersonics for the pick in April 1984. Bias and his family… More:

Dynasty’s End: Bill Russell and the1968-69 World Champion Boston Celtics

$5.95

The Boston Celtics of the Bill Russell era were one of the greatest dynasties in sports history. During the thirteen years that Hall of Fame center Russell dominated the court, the Celtics won eleven world championships, including an unprecedented eight straight between 1959 and 1966. In the 1968-69 season, the aging and injury-riddled team finished in fourth place during the regular season, and sportswriters predicted an early defeat in the playoffs. Against all odds, player-coach Russell and his squad rallied to beat the heavily-favored Philadelphia ’76ers and New York Knicks, and captured the championship crown in a dramatic upset of Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, Jerry West and the Los Angeles Lakers in the closing seconds of the final game of the series. The following summer, Russell stunned the sports world by announcing his retirement, ending his and the Celtics’ celebrated reign. In this vivid and lively account, Thomas J. Whalen chronicles Russell’s memorable last season and the Celtics’ dazzling triumph. Set against the backdrop of the tumultuous 1960s and Boston’s own turbulent and bitter struggles with race, he tells the fascinating story of how an improbable championship team overcame poor health, indifferent fans, disruptive personnel changes, and internal morale problems. Whalen recounts how Russell transformed the game of basketball during his remarkable career and revisits the outspoken superstar’s conflicted relationship with Boston. He also tells why the Celtics, the first team to break several NBA color lines, failed to attract a loyal following among the city’s largely white sports fanatics and press corps.

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: The Veltins-Arena is a football stadium in the German city of Gelsenkirchen. Originally named the Arena AufSchalke, it opened in 2001 as the new home ground for Bundesliga club Schalke 04. It hosted the 2004 UEFA Champions League final and 5 matches in the 2006 FIFA World Cup, including a quarter-final. It has a league capacity of 61,482 (standing and seated) and an international capacity of 53,951 (seated only). The naming rights to the stadium were sold on July 1, 2005 to the German brewery Veltins. Plans to construct a new stadium emerged in the late 1990s, as fans and managers sought to move out of the outdated Parkstadion, and create a thoroughly modern multifunctional arena. Following Schalke 04′s historic 1997 victory in the UEFA Cup, and the club’s upcoming 100th anniversary in 2004, the contract to construct a €186 million stadium was given in 1998 to the German construction firm HBM. The site chosen for Schalke 04′s new stadium is in the direct vicinity of the old Parkstadion, on an extensive piece of club owned property known as the “Berger Feld”. Unfortunately, two mine shafts of the “Consolidation” and “Hugo” coal-mines run directly beneath this field at a depth of 800 m. These shafts (in use until 2000) would have caused unwanted shifts and tensions that could have compromised the structural integrity of the stadium. To avoid this, the main axis was rotated from the classic North-South arrangement to a Northeast-Southwest alignment, making the arena parallel to the mines. The Veltins-Arena was created as a multi-functional arena of two tiers that completely surround the playing field. These allow for a league capacity of 61,524

Flying over 96th Street: Memoir of an East Harlem White Boy

$19.95

Tommy Webber is nine years old when his father, a founding minister of the East Harlem Protestant Parish, moves the family of six from a spacious apartment in an ivy-covered Gothic-style seminary on New York City’s Upper West Side to a small one in a massive public- housing project on East 102nd Street. But it isn’t the size of the apartment, the architecture of the building, or the unfamiliar streets that make the new surroundings feel so strange. While Tommy’s old neighborhood was overwhelmingly middle class and white, El Barrio is poor and predominantly black and Puerto Rican. In Washington Houses, a complex of over 1,500 apartments, the Webbers are now one of only a small handful of white familes. Set during the late 1950s and early 1960s, Flying over 96th Street: Memoir of an East Harlem White Boy is the story of one boy’s struggle with race, poverty, and identity in a city  and a country  grappling with the same issues. Tommy’s classmates at the exclusive Collegiate School for Boys, which he attends on scholarship, dare not venture above the city’s Mason-Dixon Line of 96th Street into the unknown territory of muggers, gangs, and junkies. Tommy, however, slowly makes new friends on the local basketball courts and at church, and discovers a different East Harlem, one where an exuberant human spirit hides within the oppressive projects and drab tenements, fighting to break through the cracked sidewalks. Webber interweaves the nation’s growing Civil Rights movement  from watching on television the forced integration of Little Rock’s Central High School to participating in the famous 1963 March on Washington  with the subtler, more immediate changes he observes in the lives of his friends and neighbors. In simple yet compelling prose, lit by the candor and innocence of childhood, Webber brings to life his East Harlem: children playing under gushing fire hydrants; the piraguas man and his pushcart of

Giants among Men: How Robustelli, Huff, Gifford, and the Giants Made New York a Football Town and Changed the NFL

$14.99

From the mid-1950s to the early 1960s, when basketball’s Boston Celtics were piecing together a run for the ages, when Montreal’s Canadiens were in the midst of notching a record-setting five straight Stanley Cups, and when the New York Yankees were the once-and-future kings of the diamond, one team boosted the NFL to national prominence as none other: the New York Giants. In Giants Among Men, Jack Cavanaugh, the acclaimed author of Tunney, transports us to the NFL’s golden age to introduce the close-knit and diverse group that won the heart of a city, helped spread the gospel of pro football across the nation, and recast the NFL as a media colossus. Central to Cavanaugh’s narrative, and emblematic of the Giants’ bond with their followers, was a hard-nosed future Hall of Fame defensive end named Andy Robustelli. A World War II combat vet, a graduate of Arnold College, undersized and nearing age thirty, Robustelli nevertheless anchored a Giants defensive unit so ferocious that they were the first team to inspire crowds to chant “Dee-fense!” But Robustelli and the Giants were a hit on the gridiron, playing in six NFL Championship Games in eight seasons between 1956 and 1963, the most remarkable aspect of this team was perhaps its relationship to the fans. These Giants were largely composed of ordinary joes who were equally at ease hobnobbing with Gleason and Sinatra at Toots Shor’s as they were rubbing elbows with working-class rooters on the IRT en route to Sunday games in the Bronx–like many of their fans, nearly all Giants players worked second jobs off-season to make ends meet. But the Giants of this era didn’t merely affect the fans’ relationship to the game; they changed the game itself. The team launched the careers of future head-coaching geniuses Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi, as well as those of a galaxy of stars and future Hall-of-Famers including Frank Gifford, Sam Huff,

Excerpt: Adriano Belli (born August 25, 1977, in Toronto , Ontario ) is a defensive tackle with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League . Belli is also nicknamed “The Kissing Bandit” for his penchant for kissing people on their cheeks. He has gained a reputation for being a kind and funny man off the field and a nasty and annoying player to his opponents on the field. Belli chose to attend Central Technical School in the Harbord Village area of Toronto even though he grew up near High Park and commuted by subway to take advantage of Central Tech’s football program. He credits his high school coach, Chuck Wakefield, for helping him get a scholarship to the University of Houston . Belli also runs a meat distribution and packing company with his family in Mississauga , Ontario .
