Just For The Record

Just for the record, that whole Mercedes thing was never going to happen anyway. But what I am going to do with my shiny new $3,050 is go down to that shoe store in the Manhattan Mall--the one with two first names, like Ben and Jerry, but not that--and buy a pair of Starbury shoes. These are, of course, the affordable (15 bucks) basketball shoes introduced by Stephon Marbury, the deeply-flawed but in this one instance very much with his head on straight point guard of the New York Knickerbockers.

Fun to write that last word out.

It will be interesting to see what a 15 dollar shoe feels like compared to the $100+ Nikes I once employed for the purpose of flying through the air like David Thompson.
