Oh, and Artest's in it too:

Dime: What other players are involved or associated by Protege?
Al: Right now it is Myself and Stephen Jackson, Ron Artest and Mickael Pietrus as far as basketball goes. We are branching out soon into football and baseball.

My friend actually bought a pair of starburys. I bought some 80$ nikes at the same time. His Starburys lasted a bit longer....Anyways, I actually think its cool that they do this.

“What’s with the apparel?
Al: All of the apparel is on court performance gear. Hoodies, shorts, and sweats. It is all good quality material. You can wash it, dry it…whatever. It isn’t that cheap material that will shrink on you.”

His answer had me rolling…clothes you can wash and dry, that is INSANE!

I usually just wear my $1200 suits then throw them out at the end of the day, apparently his stuff is better because I can wear it more than once. This guy is revolutionary.

LOL, they'd have to sell 1,000,000 pairs of shoes just to cover the costs of the CGI in the commercial.

It would've been better if he had said "I'm Al Harrington and I approve this message."

Can you blame the athlete tho? I think the concept is a novel one, I just wish Nike and Reebok got it, but they seem to not, and of course we seem to still buy them...
