LEBRON PARTNERS WITH MCDONALDS


LeBron James is now shooting with a Golden Arch. The NBA superstar has agreed to a multiyear partnership with McDonald's Corp., adding the global fast-food giant to a list of heavyweight corporate sponsors that already included Nike, Coca-Cola and State Farm. Financial terms were not immediately known, but the deal certainly will add to James' substantial net worth. Last year, Forbes Magazine estimated the 25-year-old made more than $40 million in salary and endorsements. He is currently ranked behind only Tiger Woods on the Bloomberg BusinessWeek list of America's most powerful athletes. James will support several McDonald's programs and promotions as well as Ronald McDonald House Charities, which provides housing to the families of seriously ill children.

"McDonald's and I make a great team," he said. "We share many of the same core values, including a commitment to excellence and giving back to the community. I am also excited about the opportunity to work with Ronald McDonald House Charities, which helps improve the lives of so many children and their families around the world."

LAKERS VISIT THE WHITE HOUSE, MEET OBAMA





The Lakers came in first to a standing ovation in the East Room of the White House today, all of them wearing suits for their visit to meet the president of the United States, most of them looking excited and nervous. Obama congratulated the Lakers for winning the franchise’s 15th NBA championship, a 4-1 NBA Finals victory in June over the Orlando Magic, which was their fourth in the last decade. It was clear that Obama, a basketball fan who plays when he gets the chance, was fully aware of what the Lakers accomplished and who all the players were.

“I still get enormous, enormous pleasure from watching great athletes on the court, and nobody exemplifies excellence in basketball better than the Los Angeles Lakers last year,” Obama said.

Kobe Bryant presented Obama with a Lakers’ jersey No.1, and Derek Fisher gave the president an autographed basketball. It was the second time both Bryant and Fisher had visited the White House after winning an NBA championship. They last came in 2002 after the Lakers won the second of their three consecutive NBA titles.

REPORT: LAKERS ARTEST PLAYING WITH PLANTAR FASCIITIS


Ron Artest is hurting from head to toe ... but still playing. A month after suffering a concussion that caused him to miss time, the Los Angeles Lakers forward said on his Twitter page on Saturday that he has plantar fasciitis in his left and right feet but will keep playing, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times.

Artest
"I didn't know what was wrong with me," Artest said, according to the newspaper. "I've probably had it a lot of times in my career, but I never, ever sat out with it. I know guys who have actually sat out with sore feet, but there's no need for me to complain about it. I just don't like excuses. That's it. No excuses. I don't want nobody saying, 'Oh, Ron Artest has got plantar fasciitis, so that's why he didn't play a good game.' No, I didn't play good or I didn't do what I did because that's just what happened. No excuses."

Lakers coach Phil Jackson suggested that Artest's foot ailments stem from the sneakers he wears. Artest has an endorsement with Peak, a Chinese company that also outfits the feet of teammate Sasha Vujacic and the Mavericks' Jason Kidd. "I called his shoes concrete boots for about the last month," Jackson said to ESPNLosAngeles.com. "Those shoes look like they're made for the Hudson River." Jackson added that the shoes affect his play. "He stays with them and he gets his feet worked on but he does not move really quickly," he said to ESPNLosAngeles.com. "He looks like he's clogging around out there."

CENTRAL ARKANSAS RETIRES PIPPEN'S JERSEY


After 27 years, Central Arkansas retired the jersey of its biggest star, Scottie Pippen yesterday. The Bears hung the former Chicago Bulls star's No. 33 jersey from the rafters during a ceremony at halftime of their game against Nicholls State in Conway, Arkansas.

"No player can ever set a goal of having his number retired," Pippen said. "Those are things that are given to you through the organization or institution. To have this honor is a great feeling. I had a lot of great years here at UCA. There were a lot of times that I didn't feel like I was going to reach my goal, I felt like I wasn't going to get the recognition, but doors and opportunities kept opening up for me."

Before winning six NBA titles with the Bulls and playing on two Olympic Dream Teams, Pippen was a two-time NAIA All-American for the Bears. He famously started his collegiate basketball career as the Bears' team manager, eventually earning a scholarship and becoming an NBA lottery pick when the Seattle SuperSonics selected him with the fifth pick in the 1987 NBA draft, then traded him to the Bulls.

UNDRCRWN "ASSIST CHARITY" TEE (HAITI RELIEF)

How much devastation can one group of individuals endure? Yesterday morning Haiti was struck again with another earthquake registering as a 6.1 on the Richter scale. The earthquake, while strong, comes only 8 days after the country was decimated by a 7.0 earthquake. The damage has crumbled buildings, left 200,000 dead , and thousands injured or missing. With over a million people now homeless all hope seems lost in Port-Au-Prince.





However, where there is despair and uncertainty there is also optimism and love. Out of respect for those who have lost loved ones, their shelter and life's basic necessities UNDRCRWN joins the world in giving back to the people of Haiti. UNDRCRWN is now selling the "Assist Haiti" Charity T-shirt for the Haiti Relief Effort. Retailing at $20.00 (USD), all proceeds will be donated to YELE HAITI, the organization founded and supported by Wyclef Jean. Throughout the week of January 20th- January 27th, UNDRCRWN will also be donating 5% of our total web sales to YELE HAITI. You can purchase your tee here.

ASYLM & RUETS - SOURCES OF INSPIRATION AND DAMNATION


Tradition is proud to present:
Asylm | Ruets
Sources of Inspiration and Damnation February 27 2010

Asylm
His work depicts a harmonious coexistence of nature and the urban landscape. He combines his humming bird icons, beautiful muses, Mesoamerican iconography, along with wild style depiction of words and letters over an abstract background with that of his urban graffiti palette (since 1989), so to think he is merely painting pictures, would be a mistake. He is creating spiritual trances.

Ruets
Known for his linear formation and contemporary letter structure, Los Angeles based artist Tommy Ruets earned himself a nationwide following due to his stylistically innovative approach. Pushing the boundaries of traditional graffiti, Ruets continues to up the ante combining a distinct configuration of line and proportion into something undeniably original. Equally visually stimulating are his hundreds works on paper and wood, Comprised of bold flat color and fine-line work.

T-REX





Most of you have see this crazy thing driven by Rob Dyrdek at the Fantasy Factory. It is nearly impossible to classify a two-seat, three-wheel vehicle with no doors and a motorcycle engine, but there is a name for it: the T-Rex. Campagna Motors, a boutique auto/bike builder based in Montreal, is responsible for the creation and distribution of this eccentric speed machine. The $50,000 T-Rex registered as a motorcycle and thanks to its Kawasaki sourced 1.4 liter and 4 cylinder engine sends an impressive 197 hp to the rear wheel. Campagna claims that the three-wheeler reaches 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and carries on to a top speed of 144 mph.

Although California state law does not require drivers to have a motorcycle license to operate. T-Rex is more about extreme performance, so Its body panels are constructed completely of fiberglass (keeping the weight down to roughly 1,000 pounds) and its manual-shifting six-speed transmission feels like it belongs on a motorbike even though it is positioned in the same way as a sports car. Similar to a Lotus Exige, the T-Rex requires yoga-like flexibility to slide into the seats, but the slight struggle is worth it for those who need to feel connected to road in a way that modern motorcars simply cannot emulate.
