Air Jordan 3's - Drake vs Lil Wayne
I dont think these joints will ever see the light of day... they seem to be a custom pair of Jordan retros fitted just for Drake for the Drake vs Lil Wayne tour. I'll always love a simple double black colorway and I like how the Jordan logos take on a personality of their own. The insoles.. (if thats the correct name) have all the personality with the Drake vs Lil Wayne tour logo and the OVO logo represented respectively.

Tina Charles leads the NY Liberty to victory against the Connecticut Sun! (71-66)
With the season winding down, every game is key to the New York Liberty's chances of making the playoffs.
Tina Charles had 15 points and 14 rebounds to help the Liberty beat the Connecticut Sun 71-66 on Friday night, moving New York into third place in a tight Eastern Conference.
''We knew how important this game was,'' Liberty coach Bill Laimbeer said. ''It's not a death game but it was Game 5 or Game 6 in the world that I come from. You had to win this game to get yourself an advantage. We didn't play well but at the same time we gutted it out.''
Avery Warley-Talbert added her own double-double with 11 points and 11 boards for New York (13-16), which hosts Indiana on Sunday. The Liberty are a half-game in front of the Fever and Chicago.
Katie Douglas scored 26 points to lead the Sun (11-20), who were missing rookie Chiney Ogwumike for a second straight game because of an abscessed tooth.
Douglas rallied the Sun from an eight-point halftime deficit to take a 45-44 lead midway through the third quarter.
Swin Cash's jumper gave New York a 55-53 lead with 7:09 left in the game. She added two free throws 45 seconds later and New York never trailed again.
''Our heart was tested today there's no question about that,'' Laimbeer said. ''We got tested; we were down by two at the start of the fourth, I think. Down two, you had to look deep. Cappie (Pondexter) didn't have her shot going tonight but all of a sudden she makes two of the biggest shots of the game in the last couple minutes.''
With the loss, Connecticut was pushed to the brink of elimination from the playoff chase.
''I'm disappointed that we didn't come out with a better first half,'' Douglas said. ''Not so much proud but I definitely liked our effort and fight in the second half. As professionals we have to do a better job coming out the gates.''
The Liberty won despite shooting 33 percent from the field because they made 31 of 37 free throws.

Dallas Mavericks' Raymond Felton suspended four games on weapons charges
The Knicks traded Raymond Felton to Dallas as part of the Tyson Chandler deal this summer, but there was something hanging over Felton’s head during that deal — felony gun charges.
He had been arrested in New York after he allegedly pointed a gun at his estranged wife. He eventually pled guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a firearm, as well as knowingly having a large-capacity ammunition magazine and a pistol that was unlicensed. Felton was sentenced to 500 hours of community service and ordered to pay a $5,000 fine.
On top of that, the NBA has now suspended Felton the first four games of next season without pay, the league announced Thursday.
“I demonstrated poor judgment and I take full responsibility for my actions,” Felton said in a statement released by the Mavericks.
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban noted in his statement that Felton is allowed to serve is community service hours outside New York and can do them around Dallas.
Snarky Dallas fans took to twitter saying the suspension was a blessing for the Mavericks — Felton struggled mightily last season in New York (which now has Jose Calderon running the point, a much better triangle offense fit). Once the suspension ends Felton (rarely the best conditioned athlete in the league, to be kind) will get the chance to turn his career around under one of the best Xs and Os coaches in the game in Rick Carlisle, someone who will put Felton in good positions to succeed. Whether he does anything with that chance remains to be seen. Color me skeptical.
