Ok ya'll! Clearly, we had to rep our namesake and cop his shirt and promote away. I stepped up to be the male model and sex figure to show off SKO's clear-cut attraction to the masses. All ladies: yes, i'm accepting applications.
This will either launch our rep or have people laughing and leaving smartass comments. I assume it will be the latter.
Thanks to the guys at Wizznuttz.com and Motheringhut.com for these great shirts. Yes, I also copped an Obama throwback!
P.S.- No, I don't smile.
Welcome
Over the course of human history, greatness has melded together at one time or another, creating fused unity that can sometimes be history changing. Bonnie & Clyde, The Beatles, Marvin & Tammy, Earth, Wind & Fire, Michael & Scottie, Biggie & Tupac, Shaq & Kobe, Paris & Nicole! Now, the 21st century welcomes the next great movement to rewrite the history books and change the rules. It's us, ya'll. Ain't no stoppin' us now.
"We, the elite Linkstigators, have formed like Voltron, We could have used our powers for evil. It was quite tempting, actually. But instead, we have decided to bless the internets with the most slammin' blog (no pun intended).

Cheryl
Cheryl will offer “A Sistah’s Point of View” (ASPOV) to this madness, because as you will read over the next few months, it will be needed. I see connections, like Haley Joel Osment sees dead people. Connections between modern sports, culture, politics, race and racialization, art and dance, religion and myth. I will try to point these out without being too esoteric or dogmatic (but if I am, sue me). But what you can always expect is that I will be open, honest, and often catty. (That was an awfully un-feminist thing to say, huh?)”
Eboy
White Hot Eboy, or just plain E, is a polarizing figure. On the SLAM site, the place of his e-origin, Eboy seems to move between love for his regular foils to sheer unbridled hate for his detractors. Here in this blogventure, look for Eboy to speak on basketball in all forms, movies, tv, politics, sports in general and anything else that he can throw his opinion at. Besides, he's legally obligated to be truthful and forthright, so stay ready, an E-storm is brewing.

TADOne
TADOne, or just plain TAD, is quite possibly the most sane member of this blog group, although, that is not saying much. My sarcasm, or just plain lack of empathy, has been known to reach epic levels of true disdain. Because of this, I have a love of binge drinking and mindless humor. Therapy is good.
Tariq
I am a sensitive, delicate soul. I use sarcasm and cynicism as self-defense mechanisms, douchebag. I do this to protect my faberge-egg-like psyche. If only I could increase my self-confidence, maybe then I could achieve a moment of sincerity. But I can't. So instead I have to be content with writing sublime pieces which delve into the realms of basketball, football (American), football (real), literature, religion, The Legend of Zelda and Reese's Pieces. I may even occassionally shed some insight into the complexities of the human condition. No promises, though.
My turn-ons are non-smokers and world peace. My turn-offs include crystal meth and springtime.

You may (though most likely don't) know me as commenter H to the izzo from SLAMonline.I will no longer answer to that moniker-ever.I'm retiring only to return again,but this won't be no Linkin Park collaboration.My list of lifetime achievements include being the second most foreign member.The youngest member,the least educated member.I roughly rank as the 3rd most white member and am three time Vodka chugging champion in my district.I intend to prove that basketball opinion and having little else better to do are a dangerous mix.I am usually wrong and am possessed by the ghost of Charles Oakley's right fist.

I'll probably regret this. Then again, who cares??
I don't know what I like better, the glasses, the shoes or the goddamn pumpkin!!!!! You still got that last dude in House of Pain look so that's allright, I've seen you, but the pumpkin's stealin' your shine kid.
Oh, and I'll get mine up this weekend.
What can I say? I love my Timb's and it was bright as hell out that day. Too cool for school I guess?
The pic was taken at my boy's house and he has kids, so his wife broke out the Halloween shit early.
Also, i'm down with Everlast, so it's all good. Jump Around!
I'll be patiently waiting for your pic to go up. You should have Lil E in the pic.
Also, since we had anorexic Ryan Jones and his pic on here, I figured we needed to have a pic of someone who actually eats, because we think Bulemia is a serious disease. Please support.
Maybe I'll get the young cat in the shot with his Wade jersey on.
This picture is much better than the first one you posted yesterday, Tad. It reminded me of that old sketchy big foot video, not because of the way you look but because it was far away,fuzzy, and distorted....and actually kind of because the way you look too. 8)
First off, the design looks great! Second...that's one dope shirt. Third, Halloween!
hahaha. Tad is live and online ladies. Come get it. I love it.
The Obama throwback is actually a doper shirt, Ryne. But this one was great as well. All Halloween means to me is the start of the NBA season!
Hursty: Needless to say, I have yet to get any applications.
TAD, first I learn your real name and then this????
Glad to hear it was taken at someone else's house or I was going to have to get on you about those puffy window dressings....
I was unfortunate enough to have that full spread in the mag last year to more than expose my haunting appearance.
TAD, rare sunny day in D-Town?
FYI-I was born in Monroe.
TAD, I almost feel like I need to organize a structured photo shoot to get my shit tight so I get more shine!
E, does your local mall have a Glamour Shots or something?
Hey, i'm not photogetic. Sue me. Glamour shots won't help.
And Cub: Home, sweet home is Virginia Beach. However, my heart is still in the D.
.L. .O. .L.
MC Search lookin boy
Fuck Glamour Shots, I'm thinking of hiring a photographer out of Miami, setting up along the nude beachline in South Beach surrounded by about 15 Columbian, Brazilian and Puerto Rican chicas and be balls out with just the Kemp shirt on!!! Now what!
Fuck, this motherfucker does look like MC Search. ""Woop Woop""
Eboy, nobody wants to look at senior citizen porn, stop it
Is there still that huge half-pipe in Virginia Beach?
Those contests they had there were my faves. When I was a skate-rat.
E, how much gold do you plan to have around your neck?
Cub, I was thinking of blowing my hair out, growing out a fat mustache and wearing a green thong, Borat style
Young Bear, their is a full pipe in Virgina Beach now, i just laid it down with a chica last night!
Eboy, you dont already look like that?
my work here is done
I would put a picture up,but aboslutely no-one wants to see my bespeckled ass,well apart from Eboy.
You have glasses on your ass, AR? Weird.
When are you gonna make your guest apperance on VH1's White rapper show, Tad? I'm gonna DVR that episode.
Just a monocle,two lenses is completely unnecessary.
There are skate parks all over, but I have never been. I thought you were talking about surfing at first.
Since i'm Serch: Pop Goes The Weasel! F*ckers!
I always fancied myself more of the Pete Nice type of cat with a cane and the whole nine.
Where Basketball B Longs offically opens today! Better get in line now, kiddos. Hope everyone gets a chance to check it out. I'm done shamefully promoting my blog. Tad looks like an extra that was used in 8Mile.
"I'm a model, you know what I mean, when I do my little turn on the catwalk. Yeah, on the catwalk."
Whoa, you too?? I've got some gorgeous fellas on my "team", huh ladies?
AR Tariq, where you at??
Hey TADOne,
Thanks for the comment! The Pistons are looking good for the future, their young guns really are gems that Dumars had plucked out of nowhere, much like the Prince pick that's been just gold so far.
Those shirts are, for lack of a better word, awesome. They're funny and tongue in cheek and the colors are fantastic, plus the fact you guys're rocking them makes it even cooler.
Whatever Joel. Don't talk to me until you are ready to do your guest appearance on SKO. Until then buddy, you are dead to me!
P.S.- Thanks and you're welcome.
