CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Soooooooooooooooooooo, to jump-shot start the NBA season, the league in conjunction with Kia Motors have collaborated to throw an all day event @ Union Square in New York City. Starting @ 7AM and running until 7PM, in an effort to get Kia Motors some "urban" love and to let the world know that the NBA is still indeed fan-tastic, they will be dragging out all kinds of sports stars and Spike Lee for this event.

There's going to be a 3-story DJ tower, a 8X10′ video wall (Where they would be wise to invite people to play NBA Live OR NBA 2K9) and Michael Kay will be broadcasting live on ESPN Radio 1050.

Hey, did I mention that they have also erected a full-size basketball court outdoors on an elevated platform? No? Well yeah, it's probably not that important now in light of the fact that it is raining Garfields and Odies outside ... lol. Any contingency plans David Stern? Y.O.U. can't blame this on baggy shorts and tattoos homie ... lol.

If the New York Knicks and the fate of their virgin season are in any way tethered to this weather, then today's torrential downpour, with no end in sight, is the perfect metaphor for that bitch ass team. Who says that GOD doesn't have a sense of humor? LOL. On the real, if an adequate abeyance of the rain occurs and Y.O.U. do happen to be in the neighborhood, maybe Y.O.U. can breeze through and check this event out. It is what it is.
