The Memphis Grizzlies have made history

This is what it looked like, again and again. Zach Randolph, barely able to elevate off the court, but always, always 10 toes down exactly where he wanted and needed to be, rebounding the ball, moving the ball, demanding the ball and scoring the ball, again and again. His fingerprints were all over the ball; his fingerprints were all over this series.

Now, this series is over.

The Memphis Grizzlies beat the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night by a score of 99-91, closing out their best-of-seven first-round Western Conference playoff series in six games, and doing so in stunning, epic and historic fashion before a raucous FedEx Forum crowd.

Here's the record-book history: The Grizzlies were the West's eighth seed, while the Spurs were the conference's top team, and this is only the fourth time in NBA history that No. 8 has beaten No. 1 in a playoff series. It's also only the second time that an eighth seed has been able to pull off the mammoth upset in a seven-game series; the Denver Nuggets' victory over the Seattle Supersonics in 1994 and the New York Knicks' win over the Miami Heat in 1999 both came in five-game sets, before the league changed formats.

Now, the Grizzlies join the "We Believe" 2007 Golden State Warriors who toppled the Dallas Mavericks in 2007 as the only teams to turn the playoffs' greatest trick. And given the array of characters and misfit toys that have come together to make beautiful music in Memphis, how perfect is that?

Here's the off-book history, the stuff that'll be talked about on Beale Street for as long as people can form the words to tell it: After Game 1, this largely stopped feeling like something that you could categorize as an "upset."

Memphis earned this win with a brand of basketball that merged beauty with bullying, grinding San Antonio in the post and on the wings, forever pushing and pushing and pushing until the older, statelier brand buckled. I'll leave it to my more eloquent and better-versed colleagues to tease out the finer details of who, when, where and why, but the what is inescapable: Memphis won this series. The first playoff series win in franchise history.

Randolph was the night's unquestioned star, as he's been all series and all year for coach Lionel Hollins, scoring 31 points and snaring 11 rebounds, including five on the offensive glass, to pace the Grizz. He scored 17 points in the fourth quarter alone, hitting six of eight shots from the field and five of six from the free-throw line. Tony Parker had 23 points (10-for-17 shooting) and four assists for the Spurs in the losing effort.

The Grizzlies now move on to face Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Semifinals. Game 1 in that series tips Sunday at 1 p.m. The Spurs ... well, they just move on. Via Ball Don't Lie

Air Jordan 1 OG Strap – Michael Jordan PE

If we all recall a couple years back, when Jordan Brand started to retro the Air Jordan 1 featuring a removable ankle stap, looks like Jordan Brand had that idea from the very start. This is a pair of original Air Jordan 1s featuring an ankle strap as well, these were worn by Jordan on top of that. Dressed in the classic ‘Chicago’ colorway these AJ 1s have two straps to better support your foot, a black strap seen on the side panel and a white ankle strap seen on the tongue. These will not make an appearance at your local sneaker spot, but these are available on ebay thanks to vivid.vintage. Via Sneakerfiles

Today, we have news of the Reebok Court Victory Pump being designed with tonal inspirations from different iconic jacket types. Some of you might recall the colorful Parachute pack we last wrote about in February. For this season’s Jacket pack, Reebok offers us the popular Court Victory Pump. However, instead of being given a parachute feel, these are modeled after a dark brown bomber jacket, yellow rain coat, and a green barn jacket with some spots of plaid lining. Which jacket represented here with the use of the Reebok Court Victory Pump would you say holds the most appeal? These are expected to release from Reebok retailers soon. Via Sneakerfiles

A little less than a month from today, the Jordan Fly Wade arrives at Nike iD for your personalizing pleasure. But today also brings word of some more Nike iD news. For some reason, gum outsoles had not been made available as an option when personalizing Nike Air Force 1s on Nike iD. As of this Wednesday, however, gum outsoles will be a viable option for all you fans.

Nike SB Dunk High – Brown Pebbled Leather

Last week we informed our readers of another collaboration between Maharam and the Nike Sportswear team, which has resulted in, among other shoes, a brown Nike Dunk high. But we have now come to learn that there is another similar product in the works. Pictured here is a Nike SB Dunk high with dark brown suede parts and brown pebble leather panels as well. These have a tough, rugged-looking exterior, leading many to think that would make it a perfect option for the Holiday season - which is when this design is rumored to be dropping. Via Sneakerfiles

Kings to stay in Sacramento?

It looks like the Sacramento Kings won't become the Anaheim Royals after all -- at least not next season.

Despite speculation that the Kings had all but packed their bags for Southern California, the NBA now thinks the team will remain in Sacramento next season, according to a Los Angeles Times report Friday.

However, the Kings' long-term future in Sacramento remains uncertain beyond 2011-12, the Times reported, citing league executives.

Meanwhile, Kings co-owner Joe Maloof says his family is still deciding whether to move the franchise to Anaheim or stay in California's capital city.

Maloof told The Associated Press on Friday that no decision has been made and he's "as anxious as anybody" to find out if Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson can deliver on his promise for more sponsorship support and finally finance a plan for a new arena.

Johnson was wrapping up two days of meetings with NBA relocation committee chairman and Oklahoma City Thunder owner Clay Bennett and other league officials in Sacramento.

"We await the results of the fact-finding visit that the NBA made to Sacramento the past two days," the Kings said Friday night in a statement. "We have not made a decision with regards to relocation filing, and will not make that decision until we have more information from the NBA."

At the NBA Board of Governors meetings last week in New York, the NBA granted the Kings an extension until May 2 to file paperwork requesting a relocation to Anaheim.

Johnson attended the April 14-15 meetings as well to make a desperate pitch to keep the Kings in Sacramento, and he persuaded the league to dispatch a fact-finding team to Sacramento. Johnson believes he made another splash when they arrived. He presented $9.2 million -- up from the $7 million he initially cited last week -- in commitments for new advertising, ticket purchases and other financial support from regional businesses and other backers to prevent the team from moving to Anaheim.

Johnson and other political and business leaders emerged from meetings with NBA officials Thursday optimistic about their efforts to keep the Kings in town.

"If you go back a week ago from today, we thought it was virtually over," Johnson, a former NBA All-Star, said Thursday. "And not only did we prevent the team from leaving, we got a chance to show them who we are. And when we said $7 million, and the commissioner said, 'Well, prove it,' he sent a team out and we over-delivered. I mean, this is Sacramento. This is what makes us great."

The Kings likely won't make a long-term commitment to staying in Sacramento without a new arena.

After years of failed efforts to replace outdated Power Balance Pavilion, formerly called Arco Arena, Sacramento officials are using the extra time before the Maloof's relocation application deadline to show the NBA that they can finally agree on a plan to finance a new facility.

A new arena feasibility plan -- the major sticking point in past efforts -- won't be completed until a few weeks after the relocation deadline. A majority approval by owners would be needed to approve the move, and political leaders in Sacramento believe there's still time to convince the NBA the Kings shouldn't leave.

"I don't think they have made up their minds," city councilman Rob Fong said. Via ESPN

The White Nike Air Force 1 High Foamposite is popping up now at select Nike accounts overseas which means that we should be seeing them soon stateside. Last I heard they are a QS release. Once I hear something more concrete, it will be posted. Via Kix And The City

The Maloofs might not have the votes needed to move the Kings

Of course, the inspiration behind denying the Maloof's driving privileges is purely financial, cynical, and selfish, but what's the point if the ends justify the impetus?

With former NBA All-Star and current Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson leading the charge, there is significant opposition to a Kings move that might go far beyond owners in the Orange County area resisting a move for purely financial reasons. Apparently the majority of NBA owners, a percentage required to approve any move, are resisting the Maloof's hopeful move for purely financial reasons. How nice of them.

It turns out that shoe-horning three NBA teams into even the nation's second-largest television market might not be the smartest idea we've seen so far. Read more at Ball Don't Lie

Air Jordan 5 Retro ‘Wolf Grey’ – New Photos

It’s been about three weeks since we last saw any new shots of the Wolf Grey Air Jordan V Retro, and in that short period of time three brand new colorways have been revealed. One is a retro of the OG black/Metallic Silver edition, another opts for the ‘Olympic/USAB’ look and the most recent revelation will be used to launch the Jordan Tokyo23 initiative. And while each of these is quite dope in its own way, none of that trio can match the Wolf Grey edition’s sheer versatility. They represent the ultimate in Air Jordan outfit anchoring abilities, an even subtler look than the ‘Cool Grey’ AJXI that stood alone as 2010′s biggest drop. Their May 14th release date rapidly approaching, the Wolf Greys are poised to be one of the summer’s hottest commodities. Via Sneak-r & Sneaker News

Nike Air Force 1 Low Premium – Denim – Bronze

Named after the U.S. President’s aircraft, the Nike Air Force 1 has gained legendary status in the sneaker-game as one of the trail-blazers of the cultural phenomenon it is today. Despite the countless colorways that have released, Air Force 1 loyalists continue to create their own using the Nike iD program and the upscale Bespoke Experience, but arriving this Summer 2011 season is one that will be coveted by all. The upper features an all-American denim material with metallic bronze piping and the beloved gum outsole that exemplifies the longevity and relevance of the 18th century fabric in today’s fashion. Completed with a gum outsole, brandished tongue and heel tabs, and precision sewing on the upper, this Nike Air Force 1 Premium manages to stand out distinctly above the rest and should be one of the best AF1 releases of the year.

Air Jordan III ‘Stealth’ – New Images

However ironic their signature shade’s name, the Air Jordan III ‘Stealth’ is tracking in toward the center of our radar and won’t be catching Sneaker News readers by surprise. Today we have a new round of photos for this dope new design that offers a darker twist on the tonal grey look that’s been so popular since the ‘Cool Grey’ AJXI crushed retailers last Christmas. And while there was indeed a CG AJIII, these can be seen as most similar to a pair of CP3 Tributes from 2010, even more so than the OG Air Jordan XX where the Stealth name first came into play. So this is a brand new model that has plenty of historical connotations, and what more could you ask for in a new Air Jordan Retro colorway? Stick with The Retro Sole for updates including the US release date. And for those of you lucky enough to wear exactly US mens size 9.5, Kicks-lab has a handful (literally — just 5 pairs) in stock early. Via Sneaker News

Nike Dunk High Premium – Obsidian – Crinkled Patent – New Images

The newest Nike Dunk High Premium represents a curious tangency in Nike Sportswear’s plans for Q2. When the white pair of crinkled patent leather Dunk Highs first came onto the scene, they were dubbed a part of NSW’s ‘White Pack’, a collection of ‘blank’ classics that was apparently also extended onto a recently revealed pair of Blazers. But then on the first of April we also saw a new Obsidian crinkled patent pair (no foolin’), and while it’s obvious they’re not part of the White Pack, could this motif be extended into more colors and place the white joints in the center of a two-pack venn diagram? Let’s hope the answer is yes cos we could envision a variety of tones looking quite nice in this tumbled patent/ice sole look. But even if the buck stops here with the Obsidians, the extension was well worth it, this pair’s deep uppers serving to bring out the blues in their translucent bottoms. Stick with The Retro Sole for word on the US release date. Via Taobao & Sneaker News

Nike SB Dunk High ‘Cheech and Chong’ – Release Confusion Continues

Cheech & Chong’s films are known for their cloudy comedy more than any kind of real drama, but Todd Bratrud’s Nike SB Dunk High inspired by their legacy has taken a serious turn toward psychologically thrilling cliffhanger. On Friday, we brought you the unfortunate news that the ‘Cheech and Chong’ Dunk High SBs were nixed due to legal reasons but one prominent SB retailer insists this simply isn’t true. Brooklyn Projects tweeted yesterday that “the 4/20 Nike SB dunks ARE coming out, [but] they are late coming in from the factory.” BP went on to suggest a delayed drop in May, but word is five German stores will have theirs on time next week.

Nike SB Dunk Mid ‘Patagonia’

In May 2009, the Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Patagonia’ released in a black and Academy Blue palette with orange accents to mimic their namesake brand’s mountain logo. They were something of a sleeper upon initial release but the same is unlikely to be true of this new ‘Patagonia’ Dunk Mid SB. These joints don’t simply reprise the same color scheme, but rather opt for a rich outdoorsy mix of tonal browns, forest green and brick red, a palette that you’ll also see on a set of related gear.

Scenes from what might be the final Sacramento Kings game ever

That's how Sacramento Kings head coach Paul Westphal opened his postgame press conference following the Kings' season-ending 116-108 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. I hope you'll forgive me for sharing the sentiment, especially after watching the emotional finale to Wednesday night's telecast from Kings TV announcers Grant Napear and Jerry Reynolds:

I don't have the words to express what Wednesday night, and what this whole Anaheim relocation saga, has been like for Kings fans in Sacramento. I'm a native New Yorker and I've never watched one of my favorite teams play a game with the knowledge that it could be the last time I ever get to see them as mine. I don't know what that feels like; it would be disingenuous to suggest otherwise.

My father was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan who grew up taking the trolley to Ebbets Field and never stopped beaming whenever he got to bring up the time he shook Gil Hodges' hand. When the Dodgers went west, as he'd tell it, a piece of him shut down. He'd grown up a baseball-mad kid in the 1930s; what the hell was he supposed to do as a 20-something after Dem Bums pulled up stakes? Keep rooting for the guys who just ditched him to head for warmer climes? That seemed just as unthinkable as cheering for the crosstown Giants or, even worse, the Yankees.

No, he just basically resigned himself to not liking baseball — one of, like, six things that almost uniformly electrified young American men in the 1950s — and sat in wait. After five years, the baseball gods dropped the Mets in his lap. (These, apparently, were cruel trickster gods, like Loki.) Their caps were blue and they played in the National League, so he decided to try to warm to them; eventually, they joined the Knicks, Giants and Rangers as the sports teams on the family crest.

But it was never the same, and he never pretended it was. He wore a Dodger cap with a white B on the front of it, he hung pictures of Gil and Pee-Wee and the boys on the basement walls, and he never really got over it. Not that I can remember, at least.

I don't have words for what Kings fans went through Wednesday night, but SB Nation's Tom Ziller does. (When it comes to the Kings, and most everything else about the NBA, Ziller always does.) On our side of the fence, Marc J. Spears has a few damned good ones of his own. Read them and get a sense of what Wednesday night felt like. After the jump, you can get a sense of what it looked like.

But before we get there: If Wednesday night was the last time, I'm sorry for your loss, Sacramento, and I think there are a lot of fans in a lot of other places who share the sentiment.

Nike LeBron 8 V2 Low – Metallic Silver

Will the Nike LeBron 8 V2 see a ‘Dunkman’ colorway?

One after another, the eventgoers flaunted some sweet kicks, but it was one particular shoe that broke necks and garnered props – the Air Foamposite One ‘Electric Green’. The DC area is big on Foamposites so the buzz surrounding the Electric Green Foam Ones was no surprise, and once these do hit store shelves, it won’t be a surprise that these will sell out quick.
