With what must have felt like a big punch on the throat for Derick Rose right after signing that huge contract he gets hurt… Which probably means that this upcoming season he will be playing with insatiable hunger and determination.
Just in time for the new basketball season Adidas Basketball releases the new Adidas D Rose 3 with the most advance technology from Adidas Basketball to this day. The Adidas Derick Rose signature collection will be available October 4th at Foot Locker, Eastbay and Finish Line. The shoe will retail for $160 in away black/white/red and home grey/black/red colorways. They will be an additional seven colorways that will roll out through the end oft he year.
**Here is an excerpt from Adidas Basketball:
“The D Rose 3 signature collection is special to me because I worked side-by-side with adidas on everything from materials to fit to colors to make it the best we’ve done yet,” said Rose. “I love the new logo that calls out the most important things to me: my family, basketball and the city of Chicago.”
Rose’s new signature shoes feature adidas’ most innovative performance features, premium and rich style elements and the D Rose logo which was developed in close partnership with the Chicago Bulls point guard and 2011 NBA Most Valuable Player. The D Rose signature apparel collection features premium materials, textures and colors chosen by Rose. They represent his unique and understated style while paying homage to his hometown of Chicago. The collection includes jackets, hoodies, tees, shorts, pants, hats and socks to hook up with each colorway of the shoe.
“The D Rose signature collection continues our mission to work closely with Derrick to create the best performing products in the world that are built specifically for his electrifying style of play,” said Lawrence Norman, vice president, adidas global basketball. “Launching the new D Rose logo is a historic moment for our partnership. The premium and personal style and high performance elements of this collection represent the future of our product direction with Derrick Rose.”
The D Rose 3 is an all-new silhouette with synthetic and nubuck leather to deliver a clean and stylish off-court look. The oversized tongue has a reflective D Rose logo to illuminate and pop on and off the court. Chicago call-outs on the inside of the tongue portray the essence of Rose’s background, including an illustration of his family tree and the landmark of 73rd and Paulina in the Englewood neighborhood where he grew up. Each colorway of the D Rose 3 will feature special, personal graphics on the inside of the tongue, colors and materials to give fans details about his life.
adidas designers worked closely with Rose to develop a shoe molded specifically for his foot and style of play, which involves extreme changes in direction, acceleration and explosiveness. This personal fit ensures minimal foot movement and maximum efficiency, comfort and control to make one of the most agile and quick players in the league even faster and more elusive.
The upper features a diamond cut-out pattern providing a functional blend of breathability and support. The three stripes are again featured on the back of the shoe to represent Rose’s speed, and they now wrap around the outsole so opponents will see them not only when he drives past them, but also goes over them.

RED BULL KING OF THE ROCK COMES TO MIAMI
One-on-One Basketball Tournament to Give Top Miami Player a Spot at the Finals on Alcatraz
The Miami qualifier for Red Bull King of the Rock, a one-on-one basketball tournament where the finals are held on the island of Alcatraz. In 2010, Red Bull King of the Rock went down in history as the first official sporting event ever to be held on Alcatraz and the first time basketball had been played on The Rock since the inmates left the island over 50 years ago. Now in its third year, the global one-on-one basketball tournament will return with the most competitive field to date. Bigger and better than ever, Red Bull King of the Rock has expanded to qualifiers in 27 countries, including 33 in the United States. From these qualifiers, 64 finalists will head to the island to put it all on the line in The Yard on Alcatraz on September 22.
There are only two options: win and continue on, or lose and go home. Games will last five minutes and be subject to regulation hoops rules and scoring (two and three pointers). Only the first 64 players to register will be accepted into the competition, so players should arrive early if they want to compete. The qualifier is open to amateur and pros alike, however players must be 16 years of age or older to participate. Participants under the age of 18 will need to have a parent or guardian present to sign a waiver at the qualifier.
Red Bull will be teaming up with Li-Ning, Skull Candy, 24 Hour Fitness and Dime Magazine for this historic event.
Rules: Sixty-four of Miami’s most talented one-on-one basketball players fighting tooth and nail to earn a “golden ticket” to compete in the Finals on Alcatraz. Only the top player from Miami will advance. For info on competing click HERE
Location: Jose Marti Park, 351 SW 4 Street, Miami, FL 33130

It looks like Adidas wont let what happened with Michael Jordan take place ever again. Derrick Rose has signed on the dotted line for a 13 year deal of $185 Million dollars; however, with incentives it can go up to $200 million. So we can expect many more Adidas adiZero’s in the near futre.
I’m a little late on this one but last night the MIAMI HEAT totally contained Jeremy LIN and the NEW YORK KNICKS. Lin who has been short of the savior of the Knicks offered no excuses over the loss. I guess New York fans will have to wait and see how the rest of the season unfolds.
For the Heat Lebron James scored 20, Dwayne Wade 22, Chris Bosh 25, Norris Cole 10, Mario Chalmers 8, Shane Battier 8, Mike Miller 3 and Udonis Haslem 6 for a total of 102 points. GO HEAT!

The NBA All Star has not been this far South East since 1992 when Magic Johnson made his dream team comeback. I can only hope that one day the NBA will bring the ALL STAR game down to Miami.
The All Star Games feature some of the best Basketball athletes in the NBA all in one place. This should be amazing. Click HERE for detailed information.
