November 25th, 2011 David Stern announced that the NBA Lockout was officially over and all training camps would start on Dec. 9th. 66 games are set for the season & it all started on Christmas day. The lockout was over and the NBA is back.
Anyhow, during the lockout, it made me realize how many fans missed watching the sport. From Tweets to Facebook statuses, people showed their love via different social networks. The sport has been part of our urban hip/hop rap culture for decades & when it was not around, it really felt like something was missing from the formula. A lot of urban fashion also stems from basketball. There have been plenty of fashion trends set in the past such as wearing headbands, wrist bands, throwback jerseys, hats, & arm bands. Whether its your local YMCA gym, or just a regular night out; the trends are still visible.
I personally feel that the NBA brings our society closer as a unit and gives the younger generation something positive to look up to. Players such as Dwayne Wade & Derrick Rose are role models for millions of fans.
Basketball, hip/hop rap music, urban fashion all go hand in hand.
Dating back in the day when everybody was rocking throwback nba
jerseys and hats! Regardless of your choice in teams, watching basketball gives us all a social activity & a interesting topic to chat about. Even though a
chunk of the season was a write off due to the lockout, I will gladly
accept having the rest of the season back on TV. I STILL BELIEVE!
