The Orlando Magic and Victor Oladipo want to make sure you support Jermaine Jones and Team USA Soccer as they take on “Ze Germans” tomorrow morning.

Some might say he never should have been allowed to leave such a great pairing with Nowitzki in the first place…but nonetheless, it’s good to see the Mavericks welcoming Tyson Chandler back into the fold.

Dwyane Wade had to throw in the “Cosby Sweater” (circa 1986) printed socks to go along with his latest kicks.

What do you guys think of these KD 7’s that were just released? In case Nike or the ‘Easy Money Sniper’ (himself) was wondering, we’ll take a few size 12’s!

Never too early to start paying attention to some of the players we can expect to see in the upcoming drafts! Some of these guys may already become household names within the next 12 months.
