Basketball Shoe Buying Tips from Victory Shoe Shop



Basketball Shoe Buying Tips

  1. Durability

    1. Whether you're playing on a
      concrete court in a public park, or on the floor of a first class
      gymnasium, your shoes are going to get a work out. Look for quality
      brands and materials that will stand up to all of the up and
      down the court action you're bound to encounter.


  2. Stability Support and Cushioning

    1. Of course, your basketball shoes
      are going to need first class stability, so, look for shoes that
      feature mid-foot, heel and ankle support, as well as a quality
      lacing system. You'll also want to consider a lot of padding
      in the shoe for load distribution and added cushioning. After
      all, countless jump shots can cause quite an impact on your feet.


  3. Breathability

    1. During a game, you're going
      to sweat. Look for basketball shoes with uppers made of leather,
      nylon, mesh, or other breathable material to remain as cool as
      you can.


  4. Style

    1. Half of the fun in buying basketball
      shoes, is in getting a pair that looks great, and makes all your
      buddies jealous.

Will CBS Get the D.N.R. Order for Billy Packer



Every year come tournament time at SportsBooks and SportsBars around the country conversations turn to basketball fans hatred for Billy Packer. Questions are repeated from the end of the previous season "Does CBS have a clue how bad this guy is?" Tivo's and other recording devices are set in hopes that we'll capture Jim Nantz and Greg Gumble wishing Packer a final farewell just before Luther Vandross gives us "One Shining Moment".

But, alas we realize, CBS doesn't have a clue. They've been stuck in the same time warp for 26 years and it seems that the only way that Billy Packer will get sacked is if he commits suicide on-air.

And if we're lucky, that may have been just what occurred on Charlie Rose last Friday night.

Come on CBS, the order is D.N.R. - Do Not Resuscitate!
