TPWB@LA Shirts are Here!

· Comment

After nearly a year since it was doo­dled and set in Adobe Illus­tra­tor, I finally got the huevos to just do it and get them screen-printed. The first batch were done on Pur­ple tees. It felt the text had more pop on that as well.

Here’s a quick snap of the front:

The shirt is by AAA/Alstyle. Pretty stan­dard fit. What I like about is the sewing; the seams are well made…

Thanks to Sun­day Print Co. for the great end-product; so crisp and so clean. Def­i­nitely going back to those dudes for future stuff. They’re located in LA. I also would like to thank Tri­cia (Chicharon Adven­tures) for refer­ring them.

I only printed about 24 of these (first batch), so they’re lim­ited in sizes. If you are inter­ested in obtain­ing one and near SF or LA, let me know. (If you’re more than ways and will­ing to pay for ship­ping & han­dling, get at me ^^)

Thanks.

From my mind to yours… DO WORK!

THE PARADE WILL BE AT LA (TPWB@LA)

Since every­one got cre­ative with their own Lak­ers tee (Freshjive, Unde­feated, etc.)… I fig­ure might as well con­tribute to the fan­dom. Mind you, this came about at 4pm Pacific; 2-hours before tip-off of Game 6 at Sta­ples Cen­ter (were the Lak­ers faced an elim­i­na­tion of being down, 2 to the Celtics’ 3). Any­ways, the dome wanted to con­tribute with the rally and show some sup­port. So here it is…

Undefeated LA 2009 Western Conference Champs Release

· Comment

Other than this humon­gous Lak­ers ban­ner out­side of Sta­ples Cen­ter, there’s been a lot of exment in the air to get this year’s NBA Finals on its way. To add to it, Unde­feated LA will be releas­ing some merch in sup­port of the Lak­ers’ quest for their 15th NBA Cham­pi­onship. Though it sucks that the release won’t be till this upcom­ing Sat­ur­day, June 6th, its still in time for the sec­ond home game on Sun­day, June 7th.

Fantasy Basketball Team Alpha

Just had a 14-team fan­tasy bas­ket­ball live online draft ear­lier at 8:45pm. All I can say is that it was pretty darn long w/ 14. 12 would’ve been great.

Mean­while, the league is hosted by Yahoo. I can def­i­nitely say that I like play­ing on there best as their UI/UX just rawks. Other than it being 14 team man­agers tak­ing about 1-minute and 30-seconds to do a pick, I was upset at first grab­bing the 13th spot in the draft order1. But I guess, it was a good thing on the wrap-around. Here’s how my team shaped up to be:

  1. (13) Chris Bosh — TOR » PF, C
  2. (16) Baron Davis — LAC » PG
  3. (41) Jason Kidd — DAL » PG
  4. (44) Al Hor­ford — ATL » PF, C
  5. (69) Michael Beasley — MIA » SF, PF
  6. (72) David Lee — NY » PF, C
  7. (97) Jameer Nel­son — ORL » PG
  8. (100) Raja Bell — PHO » SG
  9. (125) Ricky Davis — LAC » SG, SF
  10. (128) Monta Ellis — GS » PG, SG
  11. (153) Andres Nocioni — CHI » SF, PF
  12. (156) Mikki Moore — SAC » PF, C
  13. (181) Vladimir Rad­manovic — LAL » PF

I was try­ing to pickup Rudy Fer­nan­dez (Port­land Trail­blaz­ers » PG, SG) for my 13th-spot but he got picked up at the end of the 12th-round. There were a cou­ple of more guys in front of Rad­man but hear­ing that he’ll be start­ing in front of Lamar Odom and Trevor Ariza as a Small For­ward, I say why not. He’ll prob­a­bly get some dishes from the inside and sink some threes in. Being a player with only PF sta­tus at the moment, he’ll need to start at least 3-games if I recall cor­rectly in terms of Yahoo dub­bing him as a SF.

Any­ways, I’m happy over­all with my draft being 13 out of 14 team man­agers. But if you got any sug­ges­tions with regards to pick­ing up another Shoot­ing Guard and/or Cen­ter, let me know. I’m think­ing I might need a SG to fill in that 3rd-spot rota­tion till Monta Ellis heals up.

  1. Lebron James went #1. Then Chris Paul #2. I would’ve taken Chris Paul per­son­ally, but you can’t go wrong with either of them. The league set­tings were Yahoo default in terms of posi­tion. The stat cat­e­gories had the addi­tional OREB and AST/TO. [↩]
