this is what embarrassing an nba pro will do to you. five million views on youtube, a cell phone ringing 24/7 and an appearance on abc. see what stuart scott got himself into.

after being dismissed from espn’s city slam under strange circumstances, t-dub swore never to loose another slam dunk contest again. his first shot at redemption came september 27th at the sprite
slam dunk showcase in atlanta lenox square parking lot. terrell could not have picked a bigger challenge, as the comp featured 16 of the worlds very very best dunkers, including special efx, elevator, high rizer, werm, jonsey, 50, jfk and golden child. but the k1x warrior rocking our big logo strictly business model, came through with flying colors. dime magazine’s christian grant field was on hand and witnessed “god’s honest truth”, as t-dub won the finals (and 5k) in astounding fashion, by jumping over a man AND putting the rock between his legs, as well as an eye-popping two-handed 540 that has propelled his performance into youtube immortality. many spectators and even some of the dime staff proclaimed that the 5′9 t-dub “might be the greatest dunker ever”. yes, he may be just that.

we just launched our brand new between-seasons collection: DEATH MATCH, which literally takes the “versus” theme to the next level. this unique package coincidentally drops around halloween season and includes tees, sweats, hoodies and a whole lotta bones, skulls and bball. watch ozzy bite of a bat’s head off to get a hold of one of this … lethal ballers like “homicide” and the “undertaker” are proud
to represent … k1x - taking over the world one graveyard at a time!

the townsville crocodiles took on the the melbourne tigers on saturday. after being down by as many as 23 points in the third quartet the crocs battled their way back into the game behind a strong performance by corey williams. despite 21 points (on 9/15) and 7 assists by homicide, townsville came up short against the defending nbl champ in the end.

check out the exclusive player sample of the k1x 187 on corey’s feet!

this right here is one of the best things ever. and another proof that british humor rules the world, especially when combined with an unassuming nba pro getting embarrassed by a dude in jeans, sweatshirt and k1x meet the parents (turns out even our off-court shoes are made for serious ballin).
devin harris recently showed up with several nba players in south london, before the new jersey nets took on the miami heat at london’s O2 arena for the nba europe live games. british basketball expert greg tanner (www.streetball.co.uk) was also on hand. and so was his brother stuart who is a bit of a streetball wiz in england’s (small but dedicated) streetball scene. stuart (from thames ditton in surrey), who had not played much ball since failing to qualify for the milton keynes lions of the british basketball league five years ago, challenged nj nets guard devin harris to a “friendly” round of one-on-one. a game that harris will NEVER forget … “He tricked me. He hustled me on my own court. He might be able to get an NBA contract. We might need to sign him up tonight.”, was all harris could muster up in excuse.
since then the clip has been seen by over 5 million viewers world wide. several days ago “stuart tanner” was the most searched term on google. and we are pretty sure devin harris has not slept well since the episode either. now that’s what we mean when we say “play hard - don’t embarrass our
products.”
