				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most NBA fans and analysts would agree that <strong>LeBron James</strong> is the best basketball player in the world.  However, LeBron James’ salary of $16 million a year makes him only the 13th highest paid player in the league.  Yes, LeBron James earns millions of dollars in endorsements.  And yes, he is in the top 1% of income earners in the world. But the salary earned from the Miami Heat does not compare to the economic value he provides to his team and the NBA.</p>
<p>Last year, James won his first NBA title, his third MVP trophy, and his second Olympic gold medal. Need more proof that LeBron James is underpaid?  Check out the infographic below, courtesy of the team at <a href="http://www.cabletv.com" >CableTV.com</a>.</p>

<p>adidas recently debuted <strong>Quick Ain’t Fair</strong> (#QuickAintFair), a new campaign and commercial for the Crazyquick basketball shoe. The TV spot begins airing tomorrow in conjunction with the Crazyquick retail launch.</p>
<p>Narrated by rapper <strong>A$AP Rocky</strong> and featuring his song <em>Goldie</em>, the spot captures the mesmerizing, quick moves of John Wall (Washington Wizards), Damian Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers) and Jrue Holiday (Philadelphia 76ers). </p>
<p>The spot opens with A$AP introducing a mythical family of quicks that balled wearing an advanced shoe, the Crazyquick, which helped them dominate their opponents to reach the highest levels of the game. </p>
<p>“I wore the Crazyquick throughout the season and I’m happy to have my first big thing with the adidas family,” said Wall. “I’m a big fan of A$AP.  He’s somebody that has real good music going out.  He’s a different type of person, a different type of style and it’s great to have him narrating this commercial. I think everyone’s gonna like it a lot.”</p>
<p>Crazyquick features an innovative four quick zone outsole to provide maximum traction and flexibility for quick movements. Crazyquick drops May 1st in five colorways and is available for pre-order today at adidas.com. </p>

<p>There is another sick pair of the <strong>Nike LeBron X. </strong>This one is a custom design called the “Jaded Hulk,” and it’s from Chef from GourmetKickz. The sneakers feature the colors green and purple textile on the upper to help symbolize the transformation into the Hulk. You have to love the Hulk eyes that are staring you down in the Nike logo. For me this hits my wheel house sneaker and comics!</p>

<p>It looks like someone who loves to roller skate and Air Jordans have finally found a way to combine the two. Who would do this you ask? Well is is none other than Javale McGee of the Denver Nuggets. McGee used the Jordan Spiz&#8217;ike as a base model and put some wheels on it. You might be thinking that this is the first NBA player to have these. Well you guessed wrong.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.slamdunkcentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/russell.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-22517" alt="russell" src="http://www.slamdunkcentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/russell.jpg" width="574" height="415" /></a></p>
<p>It looks like Russell Westbrook may have given McGee some inspiration. Last year On Christmas Day, Westbrook took to his Twitter account and displayed his custom Jordans. As you can see in the picture Russell modified the Air Jordan III.  Can this be a trend? I can see the commercial now&#8230;.Spike Lee rolling around on some Air Jordan Skates. DO YOU KNOW? DO YOU KNOW? DO YOU WHOAAAAAAAA!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.slamdunkcentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/iman.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-22510" alt="iman" src="http://www.slamdunkcentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/iman.jpg" width="576" height="440" /></a></p>
<p>Back in the day the NBA banned the Air Jordan I because it didn’t follow the color pattern that was allowed on the court. These days it is hard to find a shoe that is not just white or black. Players are rocking shoes that are bright yellow, orange, and every color in the rainbow. The NBA is cool with that, but it seems that shaving a sneaker company’s logo on your head is going too far.</p>
<p>The NBA cracked down on New York Knicks forward, Iman Shumpert for having an Adidas logo in the back of his head. Shumpert, who endorses Adidas, recently shaved the company’s logo into the back of his head.</p>
<p>The league reached out to Shumpert saying that he needs to remove the logo. League officials cited a rule for their code of conduct saying that:</p>
<p>“The only article bearing a commercial ‘logo’ which can be worn by players is their shoes.”</p>
<p><a href="http://www.slamdunkcentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Shumpert-hair-instagram.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-22511" alt="Shumpert hair instagram" src="http://www.slamdunkcentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Shumpert-hair-instagram.jpg" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Sadly Shumpert shaved the Adidas logo so it looks like he just loves triangles. He posted a photo on Instrgram and then went on twitter saying, “#banned,” Shumpert wrote. “sry @nba didn’t realize there were branding issues wit da logo #iPUToN.”</p>
<p>Now even though he shaved it off and the Adidas logo is not there, the NBA still kind of loses. This story is now in the media and people are going to having a field day talking about this. So it goes from just Knicks fans hearing about this story to everyone who follow the NBA about Shumpert, the NBA, and Adidas. Any press is good press especially in this case with Iman and Adidas.</p>
