SLAM TV:
Who is Wilson Chandler?

At my day-job with SLAM, I've been working on building video content for our website with our in-house director, Matt Sheridan. I've been trying to produce videos that may be a little off-beat and/or helpful to players. For our first video, we kept it simple and drove up to Westchester to hang with Knicks rookie Wilson Chandler for the day. Chandler was real cool about kicking it with us, we passed by the courts of my old college and went with him to get his dome clipped. Hopefully, he'll make it off the bench a little more in the second half of the season.

As a Knick fan and producer of the video, I know who Chandler (left) is from seeing him play in the seven games he has appeared in. However, The identity of the other guy in the photo above remains a mystery.

K1X:
Originals

Last week, while making the rounds through this busy city I came across a pair of k1x cheifgliders. I can't say where I got them, but I can say I've wanted a pair of these things for years. Here is a quick look at these cult classic kicks. Peep the old-school "Naismith-era" basketball on the side. chiefgliders, Rucker Edition. As my sources say, they are very hard to come by in the U.S. and are unlawful to ship into the country.

These kicks date back to when Zach Marbury, Steph's little brother, was one of the German brand's first endorsers. Since then, Ron Artest and rapper Joel Ortiz has rocked k1x and more recently street ball king Corey "Homicide" Williams.
