Any taggers...errrr.... artists here?

Making a stencil is a bttch man.

Im tryna make a Lakers stencil now to rep the Lakers in the skating community.

The logo (alternate L logo) has so many islands and thin areas. Too hard to cut, even with an x-acto knife. lol

Im going out later on today to buy the purple/gold markers to actually start putting it on the board.

Stay tuned.

Nice Kno. I haven't skated since like early high school, but I remember back in the day, one of my friends drew the lakers logo right on the grip tape using chalk. It surprisingly lasted a long time too. Dunno what the kids are doing these days but you might give it a shot.

Summer man...still jobless...

Senior year is gonna be a bitch at this rate...

Either way, staying occupied by going to track camp during the day and hitting up the track during the evening to train on my own. It's my MVP season to lose...

And btw Miles, any updates on FDU?

Yeah im actually gonna do it with paint pens. Im imagining it now. Its gonna be a bttch since I have broad tip markers and teh logo has some thin lines.

Also, the yellow isnt really Laker yellow, so its gonna be a little off. lol

Board shoudl arrive tomorrow. Imma start on it as soon as I get it.

You know what is awesome... I actually dunked today in a pickup game. It was an alley-oop but I hung on the rim. It wasn't pretty but a dunk is a dunk.

Yeah, and I left him a voicemail to congratulate him for making the frontpage of youtube. His basketball game is also nice, I played ball with him last winter (when I was out in L.A.) and he schooled my ass, but then again, he played varsity in high school. I don't know why he's a Clippers fan, I'm going to try to straighten him out.

I forgot to mention that I do have condor like arms so that helps out significantly.

I hardly ever play basketball anymore. I do mostly boxing workouts and sparring sessions to stay active.

^^^ I'm 6'1, and I played all the 2007 summer with weights on my legs to be able not only to dunk, but to hand up in the air just like Kobe does when he makes a reverse lay-up or dunk !

Now there is no problem for me to do that !

I naturally have a good jump, but after that it's even higher. But my legs have hurt me a couple of times after that !

I wanted to rush things, and that's what I put weights on my legs.

I'm 6'2 and can get up there, but I can't dunk cause I can't grip the ball real well.

True.

Warriors gave him a pretty hefty contract, but the Lakers had a chance to match.

We later learned that his contract was frontloaded, which pretty much eliminated any chances of the Lakers bringing him back.

faaarrrkk....well that hits moral, i would assume....also how does that affect our bigs? does that open a door for cake boys return? is mihm really back? should we read anything into a ronny, the consumate team guy, leaving a team that went to the finals?
