TANGLED WEB
Some sites to keep you occupied until NBA.com is back to normal…
Humor www.jerryseinfeld.com
So, uh, this is awesome. To debut his new site, the comedic legend that is Jerry Seinfeld wanted to give his web surfers something different, something new. And he did just that: posting three new videos from his career of stand up. Every. Single. Day. We know, us too. When every morn- ing is filled with new, old bits from one of comedy's all-time bests, it's definitely cause to bookmark.
Music www.yourstru.ly
This is dope. Take the most interesting, rising talent in the music industry and provide an avenue for their craft to truly shine. No million-dollar film shoots or fancy special effects; just bare bones mu- sic videos at their most unplugged form. And from Big K.R.I.T. to Chromeo, Yours Truly has been able to connect fans with a diverse and equally awesome collection of artists to date. With so much utter dope- ness (there's that word again) at our fin- gertips, it's no wonder the site has become a favorite of the Dime fam.
Fashion www.wtfismikewearing.tumblr.com
Who knew that His Airness owned such a unique denim collection? Or that leather suit jackets were suddenly back in fashion? MJ did, clearly. Which is how the Google im- age hunters over at this site struck troll- ing gold with their growing collection of his more original apparel choices. But no matter the jacket or the jeans, Mike still pulls it off because, hell, he is the G.O.A.T. In the meantime, we're still waiting on a wtfdidscottiejustsay.tumblr.com to pop on the scene. Dibs?
Basketball www.veniceball.com
We're hoop junkies. It's just in our blood – probably in yours too. Luckily for the bas- ketball folks making due in the sprawling city that is Los Angeles, finding a decent run isn't too difficult. And thanks more to a history of strong play, and less about what Sidney Deane and Billy Hoyle have written, the courts at Venice Beach go hard year-round. In the summertime though, it's amplified; the Venice Basketball League brings together the city's best in ball, music and entertainment. A must visit if you're headed out West.
Athletics www.firststring.com
Remember the emotions that high school athletics brought? The passion, intensity and ultimately, relationships it entailed are what made high school sports so fun and fulfilling. And it's that passion and sense of community that helped create FirstString. It's a site developed to help share that com- munity with others currently involved in the H.S. scene – and in turn, initiate con- versations between its participants. It also maps the stories and scores of teams and individuals as soon as news happens, as well as providing a detailed scouting outlet. Check it out.
Humor www.mrturnersties.tumblr.com
Along with our classic nostalgia for pog slammers and Dennis Rodman temporary tattoos, we've always got love for the old school awesomeness that is Boy Meets World. And now everyone can relive all of the magic from John Adams High through the most ridiculous neck tie collection ever – Jonathan Turner's. Mr. Turner's Ties not only highlights the best, err absurd, ties around, they also provide each screen capture with its own unique caption. Good enough for Topanga, good enough for us.
