Here is the making of the commercial.  How many times does Jay have to be blocked?  by the way, Jay’s got some streetball moves courtesy of the And 1 influence.  Kobe got his.  Jay, At least he got the best of it with the skate board dunk.  Okay I have to go by some Sprite now.

If I could say the one shirt that started all of Sho’ Tyme Apparel.  It would be the “Don’t Dream” Shirt.  Three versions have been released so far with a four rendition coming soon.

Great video inspired from Michael Jordan’s frozen commercial.

Name your Top Five Clutch Performance Players and I bet you wouldn’t say his Name.  In a League where Names like Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Lebron James,  Kevin Durant…. you would hardly think, Brandon Roy is mentioned in the same breath.  I’m going to be bold on this topic and state that Brandon Roy is one of the TOP FIVE CLUTCH Players in the NBA.  After watching the 110-108 Loss in Oklahoma, I noticed Brandon Roy Had the Ball in his hands and either scored or made a play…for 8 straight points. When Durant missed his free throw to ice the game, the Ball should have been in Roy’s Hand.  If you Don’t agree, check out the video below.

Here are some More clips B.REAL

“I look back at [Michael] Jordan, and Kobe recently. Those guys try to dominate. You look at big men like Shaq, they dominate,” Roy said. “It was an edge. I got to get that edge. Even when I play against Carmelo and those guys, they play with that edge. They want to bury you. I’m thinking, ‘I got to get that edge.’ ”

Roy has averaged 27 points on 57 percent shooting in the four games since the Blazers fell to Denver. The Blazers won all four games. He has no plans to dial back his aggressiveness.

“Every day, I got to prepare and it’s not just a switch,” Roy said. “Kobe was saying that. We were about to play in the All-Star game, and he said, ‘Let’s go hard.’ I said, ‘Why do you want to play so hard in the All-Star game?’ He said, ‘It’s not a switch. You have to do it every day.’ I’m learning that now. It’s not a switch.

“I’ve gone so long in my life not being that way. Now, I got to turn more aggressive, more mean. I’ve never been one to be a [expletive]. But sometimes on the court, you have to be a [expletive].”

Brandon Roy is there.  Top five clutch players in the NBA. Period.

Hey guy,  J.J. back online after disappearing for sometime.  But have you heard about the latest news…..25 years ago today, the NBA banned Nike’s Black and Red Air Jordan 1′s.

Today, October 19, 2010,  NBA Commissioner David Stern bans yet another Shoe.  They are not Nike, Adidas, or even any of the Chinese Shoe Companies, but a shoe designed by little start up company, Athletic Propulsion Labs.

The claims to the shoe is that it’s technology would increase the wearer’s vertical leap.  In other words, there is a spring loaded technology within the shoe that allows a wearer to …”jump higher.”

For the first time in its 64-year history, the National Basketball Association (NBA) has banned a new line of shoes based on the league’s rule against an “unfair competitive advantage” that increases a player’s vertical leap. The league’s ban on Athletic Propulsion Labs’ Concept 1 confirms the company’s claims that the shoe, with its Load ‘N Launch^TM Technology, performs as advertised. No professional player will be allowed to wear the product in games for the upcoming 2010-2011 NBA season.

This action comes on the 25^th anniversary of the NBA’s ban on Nike’s Air Jordan shoes, albeit for reasons of their colorful appearance rather than any performance advantage.

Athletic Propulsion Labs (APL) was notified by a senior NBA official who stated, “League rules regulate the footwear that players may wear during an NBA game. Under league rules, players may not wear any shoe during a game ‘that creates an undue competitive advantage (e.g., to increase a player’s vertical leap).’ In light of that rule…players will not be permitted to wear the APL shoes during NBA games.”

The shoe’s retail for $300.00.  A lot of people wouldn’t even bother to check this shoe out, even with the countless magazine advertisements.  But, thanks to the NBA….$300.00 to satisfy the curiosity and the thought of Jumping higher after wearing these shoes seems so… reasonable. Thank you David Sterns, Like the Balance Wrist band’s effectiveness of Strengthening the Body, you have successfully marketed a shoe that promotes increased vertical propulsion (jumping) enhancement to the wearer. What do you know… it’s started already…..  Check out their website…http://www.athleticpropulsionlabs.com/

I will accept donations to by a pair and tryout the product.  You can me email at shotyme.apparel@gmail.com subject:attn J.J.  I will personally Set up a test for this shoe:  YouTube,  Actual measurements, specific trials on the shoe’s capabilities, you name it…..

Founders,  Adam and Ryan Goldston, both former University of Southern California basketball walk-ons, have yet to make a statement.

But, why say something when someone like David Sterns has already said it all.  Just because the NBA bans it, other professional sports haven’t yet.  Certainly not highschool, or College Sports….( Light bulb guys…) APL has just gotten BIGGER!!!!!
