Places to avoid? Portugal.

Does Portugal have a high Asian population?

 

[Raging Spaniard]

Oh yeah go run with the bulls and be the token American that gets run over while all the Spaniards laugh at you from the balcony.

 

[giri]

btw, after hawaii, i'm taking my next trip to spain.

any good spots/bad spots you'd recommend?

Hawaii is pure win. You'll love it.

Come to europe with us!

Go to Pamplona and run with the bulls. Don't even try to plan otherwise.

I can vouch for Sevilla and Madrid as well and of course Barcelona.

lol. It's DY. He's already dead.

Hawaii is a great vacation spot. Its like beauty and chilled-outness manifested itself into a physical place.

What island will you be visiting?

 

[Black Mamba]

Even if you don't run with the bulls because you are a pussy, or still hurt (which gives Dy an excuse), you still have to go to Pamplona for the experience. The all-night party fest is just insanely fun.

Or stay on the left side of that one turn. Dead Man's Curve or whatever.

Giri. Haven't you heard? I'm indestructible.

We totally agree then. Btw had he taken that adidas deal nike would have been the reebok of the shoe industry. They owe the empire. Period.

You say that MJ never had to hype anything. Dude sold himself like no one else ever did behind closed doors. PERIOD. BLARHSgOIGH)*!

 

[filler]

You cant go wrong with Madrid/Barcelona

Valencia and marbella are also all kinds of awesome, but really depends what you like. For example, if you're really, REALLY into seafood, then go to Galicia. If you're really into Islamic architecture then go to Granada and Sevilla.

Places to avoid? Portugal.

 

[h3ro]

I'm so hyped for the season to start back up.

I wanna hit up the Middle East and go to Dubai. Either that or back to my go to spot in the Caribbean, Jamaica. Love it there.

I haven't taken a vacation in over 3 years. Ugh.

 

[Doomsayer]

I don't think DY should run with the bulls. It seems like injuries follow him wherever he goes...

edit: damn you giri.

First stop Mililani Town. My best friend lives out there.

I have family that live in Tenerife.

Really chill environment and honestly one of my favorite places to go in Spain (or anywhere else).

Converse

Not a bad choice.

Is there anybody in the NBA that still rocks All Stars while playing?

 

[DY_nasty]

In Hawaii, I've got no idea where I'll be going. I just know that I'll be able to drink for the first time in months and this dude has been talking me up like I saved him from Mexican drug cartels while in Arizona.

He could say he never wore reebok, adidas, chucks, or sandals - it wouldn't change the fact that he sold himself to people that mattered better than any other athlete in American history.

What the hell are you talking about?

He just wants to be right about something. In the midst of all this basketball talk in the basketball thread.

Noooo. Nike went through Wes to get a shot. Mike had just about pulled out the pen on an adidas contract.

Under Armour pretty much stole whatever chance they had left.

If Nike never got Jordan but still kept every other shoe they would still trump the shit out of reebok. CBs, Griffey's, foams, deions>>>>

 

[Ninja Scooter]

speaking of shoes, I'm in the market for some new ball shoes since I'm starting a rec league next month. I had my eye on the KD's for a while, but the reviews I read say they run really narrow which sucks for me because I have wide feet. The Hyperdunk low 2011 look nice, and the Kobe VIIs shark color way is boss, just not sure if I want to spend $140.

Where are you going in Hawaii dy? I went 3 months ago, was awesome.

 

[DY_nasty]

Mililani Town and Maui, I guess. I just know I'm getting off the plane and my brodawg for life is supposed to show me the high life. I'm pretty sure I can't go wrong coming out of Texas.

LMFAO

Awesome counter argument.

But Nike still had a substantial percentage of the schools around the nation locked up across the board. The best thing Reebok had going for it was the NFL contract and AI. They screwed themselves both times. Even if Nike never had Jordan, they'd still be sitting exactly where they are today - right behind Adidas.

Tmacs are still the best shoe I've ever worn, but if you're looking at new stuff - check out the new Roses. They're good. Really good. But be ready to give away all your moneys.

Had Jordan went adidas so would have most of the kids trying to be him. All the way to Lebron. You know this, why front?

BTW as a kid who played big10 ball...the first thing nike tells coaches is "we have jordan".

I've been to Oahu, its nice. It's very modernized if you're into that, and its "youthier" lol than some of the other islands.

When I went I started in Maui its more getaway feeling, lots of retired folk and zero night life. It was great, hiked out in a rainforest, went on hana highway and saw some amazing beaches. Theres tons of stuff to do on Oahu as well, but it has high end shopping and stuff like that.

http://espn.go.com/dallas/nba/story/_/id/7622264/no-timetable-lamar-odom-return-dallas-mavericks

Lamar Odom did not report back to the Dallas Mavericks on Monday and coach Rick Carlisle did not give a timetable for the forward's return.

Odom left the team last Wednesday to attend to his ill father in Los Angeles, a source confirmed. Odom missed the Mavs' loss to his former team, the Lakers, and apparently won't be in uniform when Dallas resumes the regular season at home Tuesday night against the New Jersey Nets.

"Lamar is not here today," Carlisle said Monday. "He is still dealing with a family matter and the hope is he'll join us soon, and we'll update you when there's an update."

Guard Rodrigue Beaubois did return to the Mavs on Monday. The third-year guard missed the last five games after the death of his father.

What a lazy piece of crap. Lamar doesn't want to play because his dad had a stomach virus. Meanwhile Roddy's father passed away but he's coming back to do his job. Really shows you how much of a headcase Odumb is.

They are cheaper. The 2.5's are 110 last I remember while brons are 170.

And even if Jordan went to adidas they wouldn't have Tinker to make them great. Since adidas didn't really care about the basketball division at that time.
