			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.runffm.com%2F2012%2F02%2Fnba-open-court%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;font=arial&amp;colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px;height:30px;margin-top:5px;"></iframe><div name="googleone_share_1" style="position:relative;z-index:5;float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><g:plusone size="tall" count="1" href="http://www.runffm.com/2012/02/nba-open-court/"></g:plusone></div><p>Wenn ich das richtig in Erinnerung habe, steht diesen Monat das NBA All-Star Game trotz der verkürzten Saison an. Dennoch finde ich, dass <em>NBA Open Court</em> mit zu den besten Dingen dieser Saison gezählt werden darf. (Ja, es gab auch einige richtig knappe &amp; spannende Spiele sowie gute Plays, aber trotzdem&#8230;)</p>
<p>In der Sendung sitzen <strong>Kenny Smith</strong>, <strong>Charles Barkley</strong>, <strong>Shaquille O&#8217;Neal</strong>, <strong>Chris Webber</strong>, <strong>Reggie Miller</strong>, <strong>Steve Smith</strong> &amp; <strong>Steve Kerr</strong> mit Host <strong>Ernie Johnson</strong> in lockerer Gesprächsrunde zusammen und sprechen über verschiedene Themen. Wie man sich denken kann, gibt es dabei viel zu lachen. Von daher hier mal meine Lieblinsausgaben. (WARNUNG: Nur schauen, wenn ihr heute sonst noch nichts vor habt!!!)</p>
<p>Auch wenn die genannten Spieler alle ihre Erfolge feiern konnten, so waren die meisten aber ebenfalls an einem Punkt ihrer Karriere auch Teil eines schlechten Teams. So erzählt Kenny Smith über <strong>Bill Russell</strong>s extrem ehrlicher Umgang mit seinen Spielern (&#8220;I&#8217;m trying to trade him. But nobody wants him!&#8221;) und wie er ihn als Rookie von den restlichen &#8220;Losern&#8221; des Teams fernhalten wollte. Schaut aber auch, wie viel Swag er und Assistant Coach <strong>Willis Reed</strong> auf der Bank damals in den 80ern hatten (bei 3:21). Fies wird Reggie Miller, der erzählt, dass es für ihn &#8220;Teaser Game&#8221; sind, und dass seine Mannschaft damals erst fünf Minuten vor Ende anfing zu spielen, aber bis dahin die schlechteren Teams am Sieg schnuppern ließen.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="800" height="450"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JEm3noWE7LU&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JEm3noWE7LU&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="800" height="450"></embed></object></p>
<p>Auch als Commissioner haben sie ein paar &#8230;&#8230; interessante Ideen! Von der Abschaffung der Charges über ein Playoff-System ohne Conferences bis hin zu Shaqs Idee einer Penalty Box, mit der er sich selbst als wohl unorthodoxester Commish bezeichnet. So will er nämlich die &#8220;fake tough guys&#8221; eliminieren (ganz zum Schluss ab 10:38).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="800" height="450"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ptNE8QgMO6Q&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ptNE8QgMO6Q&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="800" height="450"></embed></object></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Was sie alle gut können, ist Stories zu erzählen. Sehr geil finde ich Steve Kerrs Story (ab 2:45) von einer <strong>Dennis Rodman</strong> Party, auf die er von Bulls-Coach <strong>Phil Jackson</strong> mit zwei weiteren Spielern geschickt wurde. Den Hintergrund &amp; den Ausgang dazu gibt&#8217;s im Video mit ein paar weiteren lustigen Stories.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="800" height="450"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mOVcXAIPwJM&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mOVcXAIPwJM&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="800" height="450"></embed></object></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Im nächsten Abschnitt geht es um Entertainment. Ein paar der Spieler haben mehr oder auch weniger erfolgreiche Ausflüge in dieses Metier unternommen. Ab 6:50 geht es dann auch um Chris Webbers Album mit einem tollen Titel, zu dem er selbst nur &#8220;Wow&#8230; wow&#8230;. wow&#8221; sagen konnte. :D</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="800" height="450"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XaQbB5Jl8tM&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XaQbB5Jl8tM&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="800" height="450"></embed></object></p>
<p>Das <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oH-anNXMexo" target="_blank">Lied</a> geht aber wirklich ganz gut ab, wie er noch ganz zum Schluss bemerkt. Die nächste Folge ist eigentlich auch nur durch ihn super lustig, weil C-Webb bei 3:19 nicht bewusst ist, dass schon die Sendung aufgenommen wird.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="800" height="450"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iJeSbBFiNqA&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iJeSbBFiNqA&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="800" height="450"></embed></object></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Jetzt geht&#8217;s ans Eingemachte!!! So begründet Shaq, wieso er damals zuschlagen musste, nachdem Barkley ihn mit einem Ball abgeworfen hat. Allgemein erfährt man auch was über harte Typen in der NBA &amp; wieso Steve Kerr immer 5.000 Dollar für seine Teammates opferte. Barkleys Soundeffekt bei 07:50 hat auch was.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="800" height="450"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/91p_RYTUYXI&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/91p_RYTUYXI&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="800" height="450"></embed></object></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Zu guter Letzt noch dieses &#8220;Friends &amp; Enemies&#8221; Segment, das sich mit dem unbedingten Siegeswillen und dem Verhältnis zu anderen Spielern beschäftigt. Den kompletten Vogel aller Folgen schießt Charles Barkley hier meiner Meinung nach bei 6:57 ab!!! (LOOOOOL)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="800" height="450"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-ZKHc1XenUo&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-ZKHc1XenUo&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="800" height="450"></embed></object></p>
<p>Also. Es lohnt sich alle Folgen zu schauen, aber auch nur, wenn ihr heute sonst nichts vor habt!!!! Dann erfahrt ihr auch zum Beispiel etwas über ihre ersten Erfahrungen, als sie in die NBA kamen, die ja damals noch etwas härter war als heutzutage. Das alles gibt&#8217;s auf dem <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/OpenCourtNBA" target="_blank">YouTube Channel</a>.</p>

<p>OK, die ersten vier Würfe zwar nicht, aber alles der Reihe nach&#8230;</p>
<p>Mit @chrishimself84 war ich schon um 14:30 am <a href="http://www.snipesshop.de/" target="_blank"><em>snipes</em> Store</a> und so langsam waren auch schon da die besten Plätze vorm Laden vergeben. Ich musste dann noch was essen gehen und direkt danach haben wir uns auch schon zum Presseeingang begeben. Das erste Highlight war schon direkt, dass wir sogar ein eigenes Schild hatten &#8211; neben den ganzen traditionellen Medien wie der <em>Rundschau</em>, dem <em>hr</em> oder auch der <a href="http://www.basket.de/" target="_blank"><em>BASKET</em></a>, mit dessen Mitarbeiter <strong>Timo</strong> wir uns einen Tisch geteilt haben. Der ganze Store war übrigens umgebaut und mit der aktuellen Hyperfuse Collection von <a href="http://www.nike.com" target="_blank"><em>NIKE</em></a> bestückt worden.</p>
<p><a title="Dirk Nowitzki bei Snipes in Frankfurt by chrishimself, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrishimself/6173600274/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6175/6173600274_d7736d1e66.jpg" alt="6173600274 d7736d1e66 Dirk kam, warf & swishte." width="500" height="333" title="Dirk kam, warf & swishte." /></a></p>
<p>Pünktlich um 16:00 ging es dann auch mit der Pressekonferenz los, in der ein gut gelaunter <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DirkNowitzki" target="_blank"><strong>Nowitzki</strong></a> (@swish41) der Presse Rede und Antwort stand. Auch schon früher, bevor er einen Vertrag hatte, sei <em>NIKE</em> seine Lieblingsmarke gewese (&#8220;NIKE for life!&#8221;). Auf die Frage, ob er kurz etwas auf einer von einem Medienvertreter mitgebrachten Gitarre spielen wollte, gab es ein kurzes &#8220;Na, gib mal her!&#8221; Und auch bei den vielen Fans in Deutschland hat er sich dafür bedankt, dass sie sich für seine Spiele die Nächte um die Ohren geschlagen haben, um sich am nächsten Tag durch die Arbeit, Uni oder Schule zu quälen.</p>
<p><a title="Dirk Nowitzki bei Snipes in Frankfurt by chrishimself, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrishimself/6173073569/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6180/6173073569_85e5e9015d.jpg" alt="6173073569 85e5e9015d Dirk kam, warf & swishte." width="500" height="333" title="Dirk kam, warf & swishte." /></a></p>
<p><a title="Dirk Nowitzki bei Snipes in Frankfurt by chrishimself, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrishimself/6173601544/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6164/6173601544_4e4653dc50.jpg" alt="6173601544 4e4653dc50 Dirk kam, warf & swishte." width="500" height="333" title="Dirk kam, warf & swishte." /></a></p>
<p>Weiter ging es danach am Wurfautomaten, wo er mit zwei Fans über 3.000€ für die <em><a href="http://www.dirk-nowitzki-stiftung.org/" target="_blank">Dirk Nowitzki Stiftung</a></em> erspielte. Im Anschluss hat Dirk seine Handabdrück in der <em>Wall of Fame</em> des Stores verewigt, wozu er aber die Treppe hoch musste, was von den draußen wartenden Fans mit leutem Raunen quittiert wurde. Nowitzkis Reaktion: Freundlich lächeln, winken &amp; &#8220;Tschüß&#8221; rufen. :D</p>
<p>Als er damit fertig war und sich die Hände gewaschen hatte, ging es dann natürlich noch nach draußen zu den wartenden Fans (beste Reaktion: &#8220;&#8221;Alder, tschüüüch&#8230;!!! Der ist ja echt so riesig, Alder!!&#8221;), aus denen auch zwei gegen Nowitzki werfen durften. Einer davon war der kleine <strong>Emil</strong>, den Nowitzki auf seine Schultern packte und der so auch einige Treffer erzielen konnte.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r37/theballatician/B201109222214.jpg" alt="B201109222214 Dirk kam, warf & swishte." width="499" height="374" border="0" title="Dirk kam, warf & swishte." /></p>
<p>Nowitzki selbst vergab die ersten vier Versuche, netzte danach aber wie gewohnt sicher ein, bevor er auf seine sympathise Art und Weise sehr geduldig über 30 Minuten lang Autogramme schrieb. Dabei hat er laut <strong>Johannes</strong>, der in der Menge stand und <a href="http://crossover-online.de/Culture/Blogs/Nowitzki-Fieber-in-Frankfurt_10386.html" target="_blank">diesen Artikel für <em>Crossover</em></a> geschrieben hat, auch Pluspunkte durch seinen Small Talk mit den Fans gesammelt. (Von ihm hab ich auch obiges Bild geklaut, aber alles RUN FFM Family!!)</p>
<p><a title="Dirk Nowitzki bei Snipes in Frankfurt by chrishimself, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrishimself/6173601838/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6156/6173601838_64c8827002.jpg" alt="6173601838 64c8827002 Dirk kam, warf & swishte." width="500" height="333" title="Dirk kam, warf & swishte." /></a></p>
<p>Alles, was nicht niet- und nagelfest war, wurde ihm unter die Nase gehalten. Darunter sogar eine <em>Ralph Lauren</em> Sporttasche (LOL!!!), aber auch ein <strong>LeBron</strong> Schuh (ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS????), wie im Bild zu sehen.</p>
<p><a title="Dirk Nowitzki bei Snipes in Frankfurt by chrishimself, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrishimself/6173602320/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6160/6173602320_3f9f7e190d.jpg" alt="6173602320 3f9f7e190d Dirk kam, warf & swishte." width="500" height="333" title="Dirk kam, warf & swishte." /></a></p>
<p>Das Ganze gibt es jetzt noch knackig verpackt in bewegten Bildern in Chris&#8217; VLOG zu sehen, bis dann aber allerdings alle Batterien aufgebraucht waren.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="800" height="450"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OTFP4QbV_wE&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OTFP4QbV_wE&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="800" height="450"></embed></object></p>
<p>Mehr Bilder gibt es auch bei unseren Flickr-Accounts (<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrishimself" target="_blank">Chris</a>/<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/theballatician/" target="_blank">Andi</a>). Vielen Dank an dieser Stelle nochmals an <strong>Jana</strong> von <em>snipes</em>, die bewiesen hat, dass sie auch ein Herz für Blogs hat :)</p>
<p>Und hier noch ein paar der Autogramme&#8230;</p>
<p><a title="Dirk Nowitzki bei Snipes in Frankfurt by chrishimself, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrishimself/6173602926/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6179/6173602926_2a4b7aea37.jpg" alt="6173602926 2a4b7aea37 Dirk kam, warf & swishte." width="500" height="333" title="Dirk kam, warf & swishte." /></a></p>
<p><a title="Dirk Nowitzki bei Snipes in Frankfurt by chrishimself, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrishimself/6173075661/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6163/6173075661_4c0239846d.jpg" alt="6173075661 4c0239846d Dirk kam, warf & swishte." width="500" height="333" title="Dirk kam, warf & swishte." /></a><br />
Insgesamt war es wirklich eine sehr coole Veranstaltung und ein Erlebnis Nowitzki in unserer Stadt zu haben. In Frankfurt, wo sonst!!!</p>

<p>Erwartet wird Dirk um 16:00 und das Programm sieht vor, dass Dirk in der Filiale seine Lieblingsstyles aus der aktuellen <em>NIKE Sportswear Hyperfuse Collection</em> vorstellt, sich auf der &#8220;Wall of Fame&#8221; verewigt und auch eine Pressekonferenz abhält.

Man, we had a blast. This series could&#8217;ve gone on forever, but in the Dallas Mavericks we have a true championship team, that came a long way to finally be on top! Great to see all those players get their first ring.</p>
<p>For us over here, it&#8217;s obviously very special because of <strong>Dirk Nowitzki</strong>. The first German to win an NBA title. And it&#8217;s crazy, that he&#8217;s just a kid, that grew up just a one hour drive away from Frankfurt, just behind the border to Bavaria, and that a few people, that I got to know through basketbal, even have crossed their ways with him either in the youth teams, as coaches or on the national team. And now he&#8217;s NBA Champ and on a little sidenote MVP of the Finals.</p>
<p>This gives me the opportunity to finally unveil this little gem.</p>
<p><a title="This also gives me the chance to finally unleash this piece of epicness!!! by theballatician, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/theballatician/5826806889/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5262/5826806889_9455d3a86b.jpg" alt="5826806889 9455d3a86b The German Wunderkind did it!" width="334" height="500" title="The German Wunderkind did it!" /></a></p>
<p>Yeah, it&#8217;s a poster with his name on it! But look again&#8230;</p>
<p>He might be the guy in the back waiting to check into the game, but he certainly ain&#8217;t the dark-haired guy finishing with the layup nor did he ever wear #11!!!</p>
<p>It must have been the eraly 2000s when I found this poster at our local <em>SPORT LOEBL</em> store. I just had to buy it. I didn&#8217;t even ask the staff or told them, that there was something completely wrong with this poster.</p>
<p>In 2003 Dirk played with the German national team here in Frankfurt against Turkey. After the game the court was invaded by the masses. I was a part of it, as I wanted his signature on it. Or at least, that he would notice, that something is wrong. But he was so busy getting his autograph on every single item, that he didn&#8217;t even look at what he was signing.</p>
<p>So that&#8217;s really his autograph right there above the knees.</p>
<p>Long story short: <strong>CONGRATS, DIRK! HARD WORK PAYS OFF!! BE PROUD, GERMANY!!!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.runffm.com%2F2011%2F05%2Fgilbert-arenas-is-the-true-sneaker-champ%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;font=arial&amp;colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px;height:30px;margin-top:5px;"></iframe><div name="googleone_share_1" style="position:relative;z-index:5;float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><g:plusone size="tall" count="1" href="http://www.runffm.com/2011/05/gilbert-arenas-is-the-true-sneaker-champ/"></g:plusone></div><p style="text-align: left;">I have really been a <strong>Gilbert Arenas</strong> fan since his days as a <em>Golden State Warrior</em>, as soon as I read a story about him growing up under harsh circumstances, namely sleeping for a period of time in the car of his dad, about him not getting any respect, when he entered college and made it to the <em>NBA</em> (thus choosing the number 0, because that&#8217;s the amount of minutes that &#8220;everyone&#8221; thought he would get). He even felt he was so bad (WHILE HE WAS ALREADY AN NBA PLAYER!), that he joined a local church league in San Francisco. Until the Warriors got word of it, of course. Then in his <em>Wizard</em> days he hit a whole array of incredible buzzer beaters with his not-to-be-destroyed confidence, he also had his super entertaining blog on NBA.com, his own <em>adidas</em> signature sneakers and so on.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Then came the troubles in the last few years culminating in a gun incident, and so he entered the season without a shoe deal, but that way he was able to rock whatever dope kicks he wanted to. This included lots of J&#8217;s (like the <em>Space Jams</em> pictured below) and even a pair of <em>Dolce&amp;Gabbana</em> shoes in a game against the Lakers.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter" title="-" src="http://www.slamonline.com/online/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Gil-SJ-G6.jpg" alt="Gil SJ G6 Gilbert Arenas is the true Sneaker Champ." width="610" height="427" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">That&#8217;s the biggest dream for a sneaker head to showcase them at that stage, so even if his team got eliminated from the Playoffs, this makes him the ultimate <strong>SNEAKER CHAMP</strong>. That&#8217;s also his twitter name by the way: @thesneakerchamp and it&#8217;s all about the sneakers!!! You can also check which sneakers he wore for every game during the 2010-2011 NBA season on <a href="http://sneakerchamp.gilbertarenas.com/" target="_blank">this site</a>. Also <em>SLAMonline.com</em> has a nice gallery <a title="Gilbert Arenas Kicksology on SLAMonline.com" href="http://www.slamonline.com/online/kicks/2011/04/gallery-gilbert-arenas-kicksology/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r37/theballatician/gilbertarenassneakerchamp.png" alt="gilbertarenassneakerchamp Gilbert Arenas is the true Sneaker Champ." border="0" title="Gilbert Arenas is the true Sneaker Champ." /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p>And all of this really makes him someone to absolutely cheer for. At least to me.</p>
