K1X Clothing 2010

K1X recently got shot some portraits with a few of their ballers. K1X then asked them to give us a quote about their personal relationship to the sport, culture, emotion and hype that is basketball.

The result is an intimate and eclectic collection of portraits featuring ballplayers, MC’s, dancers, DJ’s and entertainers that illustrates K1X’s latest spring and summer 2010 collection.

Kadour – Godfather of Dunk: “Dunk or die!”

Wilson – Performer: “Basketball, Wilson, it’s me.”

Bamba Nazar – DJ & Producer: “Take a loss like a champ and win like a rookie – your motivation in this game of life will never die.”

Dave – Friend of the family: “This goes out to my first love… You gave me the passion – you gave me a bunch of nasty injuries -
you gave me unforgettable moments – you gave me homies… I don’t know where I would be without my one true love, basketball…!?”

Evan – DJ: “My first year in High School I was not known for my high percentage jump shot. My coaches were well aware of this and made it clear that even if I had an open look at a 17 foot jumper
I better pass the ball. One game I had that look and I heard the coach – standing right behind me on the bench scream out, “don’t shoot it!”. I nailed that jumper. It might sound like a cliché, but that
one jump shot made me realize that with anything I wanted to accomplish in my life, hard work, practice and determination could prove even my boldest doubters wrong.”

Harry – One Man Show: “Von nix kommt nix.”

Rufus – Entertainer: “Just cuz u got hops, don’t mean u got skills…”

The NBA All-Star weekend kicks off in Dallas, TX.  The basketball and hip-hop world come together to celebrate the streetball lifestyle.  If you can’t afford a ticket to the game, no problem.  Here is the NBA All-Star game party schedule.

NBA All-Star Weekend Party Scene, No Secret Department: The Mavs’ Josh Howard, P-Diddy and Mary J. Blige are going to be everywhere.

NBA All-Star Weekend Party Scene, Top-Secret Department: I’m told LeBron James is renting out Ghost Bar atop the W hotel for a private shindig (shhhhhh) and if you want a table, all it’ll cost you is $10,000. Yes. Per table.

Thursday, Feb. 11

Josh Howard, Devin Harris and BET host Alesha Renee. A “Kickoff’’ party at “The Bank’’ on Main Street in Dallas.

Mary J. Blige puts on a concert benefitting the Mavs Foundation. It’s the All-Star Opening Night concert by Mary J. Blige, with comedian Mark Curry and host Mario Lopez, at 7 at the Majestic Theatre.

Magic Johnson and Alonzo Mourning host a billiards party. Now, that’s the afterparty. The actual event – which includes Dwyane Wade and Mark Cuban – is Centennial Hall at Fair Park.

Dwyane Wade stays busy. He will host a party at 10 at the Starlight Room on Munger Avenue.

Want Hollywood types? The All-Star Hollywood Celebrity Soiree is at downtown’s Union Station. Scheduled to include Tyler Perry and Terence Howard.

Shaquille O’Neal is hosting the All-Star Comedy Jam at 8 at the Nokia Theatre at Grand Prairie. With Mo’Nique.

And here’s one … “Babes & Ballers.’’ Like a lot of the parties, it benefits charities (Laptops for the Wounded). This one is at TePheJez Nightclub (2226 Elm). General admission $50, VIP $150.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs will host Friday at the Palladium Ballroom with co-hosts Josh Howard and Greg Buckner.

Valentine’s Day reservations are being taken at Bella. Tell ‘em DallasBasketball.com sent you!

In what I believe is for the Mavs players an “official’’ NBA party, Dirk and Jet serve as the hosts at Love Field. It’s at the “Jet Aviation’’ hangar … I’m told it will be temporarily re-christened “Hangar 41’’ (hope Jason Terry doesn’t mind) … and Mary J. Blige and Common will be a part of it. (So will I. Maybe with a DB.com video crew, if I can pull it off.)

Carmelo Anthony hosts his party at Beamers.

LeBron James hosts his party at AMPM Lounge.

A Union Station party with an NFL feel: Iverson, plus Michael Vick.

The Boardroom has a party that includes Snoop Dogg and Paul Pierce.

Saturday, Feb. 13

Diddy is back with another party, this one at Sting Ultra Lounge, complete with a quote from Diddy:

“Bad Boy’s in the Building, Dirty Money in the building, you know how I do, there’s no party like a Diddy party,’’ … said Diddy.

Dwyane Wade’s party is at F.I.G.

The “Party for Champions” begins at 9 at the Tower Club and is hosted by Gabrielle Union, Elise Neal, NFL star Dwight Freeney and Gary Payton.

Sunday, Feb. 14

Terrell Owens and J-Ho get top billing here for a black-tie “All-Star Affair’’ at the Palladium.

Union Station has an “All-Star Game watching party” hosted by Kenny Smith and Michael Vick.

Game-watching specials, great Mexican food and a see-and-be-seen scene all day at Hacienda on Henderson.

Kenyon Martin hosts a party at Go Fish. I don’t know if Mark Cuban and Kenyon’s mom are on the guest list.

Of course, all weekend long there’s NBA All-Star Jam Session.

And all of it culminates in – lest we forget – an actual game.
