this just in … see k1x fam kadour ziani and guy dupuis of slam nation strut their stuff last weekend in the south of france. watch the zianimal kick the rock off the rim, while guy does all kinds of crazy shit:

yo yo yo, your boys and girls at k1x wish all you ballplayers and heads out there a very happy christmas and all the best feat. a ton of k1x stuff for 2008!
see some pictures of our annual x-mas party below: as usual, we went bowling, had some really bad food and then turned edmoses bar inside-out. special shout out goes to the our all-time favorite mommy carmen, who made even big man les look like a rookie. big up to the beatin’ bros (k’s & fu), who made 97,1 fm’s old-school at noon jealous with their tracks. peace out to rob & enrico, who went at each others throats like sprewell & coach carlesimo. one love to the fam for being just that!

also some other important members of the nation of hoop did not let the chance pass by to give a shout out for the holidays. it’s greatly appreciated.

k1x warrior and newcomer Naoto Takushi has repeatedly shown he is for real in japans sparkling bj league. last weekend, the rookie racked up a league-wide season high 32 points, 6 boards and 5 assists as well as 25 points and 8 dimes on consecutive nights for the ryukyu golden kings. His strong play did not only earn him player of the week honours, but also a starting spot in the upcoming all star game as the vote-leader among west guards. to be continued …

Corey Williams took home player of the month honors in australia’s nbl for the month of November. Averages of 20.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 2.0 steals made it impossible for the league to ignore homicide who lead his team to a 6-3 record the previous month.

This holiday season, k1x pulls the trigger on another banger: sl reloaded. The first sierra leone collection made some serious noise in 2005, as k1x made a statement even before the likes of vh1, kanye west and Hollywood, who later recognized this beautiful country as a worthy subject for social discourse. social conflicts like blood diamonds and boy soldiers were incorporated into design details while especially sierra leone’s love for the game of basketball actually is where our “you can’t teach heart” philosophy was born. Finally, the follow-up collection is here. Fresh new color ways, innovative prints and reissued favourites make up for an even more exciting homage to the basketball players of sierra leone.
For a limited time only.

Corey williams made his first all star appearance today when the best players in Australia’s nbl squared off against one another in melbourne. And the game became a memorable one for both, “homicide” and the frenetic crowd as “the most dangerous” scored 15 points and dished out 8 assists showing off his skills with fancy behind the back passes and crossover dribbles. “187” was referred to as a human highlight reel after the game in which he came just short of taking home the mvp trophy.
