It’s the anniversary of Jimmy V’s famous ESPY speech. Will never forget watching it live before going out and then sitting in Spike’s when the late night reply was aired. After all of that drinking the tears were FLOWING from every person in the place. Twenty-three years ago tonight, Jim Valvano gave us a message […]
Link There are a series of pictures floating around the internet that are alleged to be the throwback jerseys that adidas is producing for the basketball programs of the teams they sponsor.
