Check out this new ESPN 30 for 30 short about Elvis Presley’s love of racquetball, produced by my cousin Christopher Isenberg. Dope.
California Hoop Kings
Sports, VideosBig moments out West last night in the NBA. Will go down in history, for sure. Props to Kobe on going out like a true G (60 points in final game), and the Warriors and Steph Curry for the broken records (most regular season wins ever, Curry with over 400 threes wow).

For the first time ever, a select group of artists have joined forces with the NBA to represent their teams and cities by creating unique, official NBA gear. These limited edition items will be available for 10 days only and, after that, they’ll never be sold again.
Bout to cop this Bronson x Knicks joint. It’s literally my dream t-shirt. Check out the whole collection here, get yours before they’re gone.
P.S. Shout out to my sister Becca who works at Abrams, they just did a book deal with Bam Bam! Been holding in this secret for a minute, psyched that it’s finally out there! Read about it HERE.

Even though my most well-known Stan Ipcus song is about a pair of Nikes, I’m not really the biggest sneaker head. That said, this Complex feature on the dopest sneakers worn in NBA All-Star Games year-by-year since 1988 is great. Click the link below to read.

The Greatest
Music, Sports, VideosKING is an R&B trio out of L.A. that I just stumbled upon this week. They’re getting ready to release their debut LP titled We Are KING, and the first single/video off it is “The Greatest.” It seems to be graphically-inspired by classic Nintendo ’80s sports games like Tecmo Bowl and Double Dribble, which makes sense, because they definitely have a smooth, ’80s R&B vibe to their production. Love the harmonies, too.
If you like “The Greatest,” head over to NPR for an early stream of the full album. Enjoy.
