Anybody who's seen an NBA post-game press conference will tell that there's no question that the OKC's Russell Westbrook will steal the show every time. I'm not talking about what comes out of his mouth either. In his case, the versatile point guard captivates audiences with ~~colors so bright they'll bind you~~ the multitude of designs, colors and accessories that he wears. Never one to shy away from taking risks on the hardwood or in his fashion style, it seems like a natural choice for him and an excellent selection by Flaunt Magazine to choose the All-Star as the first athlete as their cover model and conduct this high fashion shoot. So check out this spread, take some tips from Mr. Westbrook and go get some Tom Ford specs and electric-blue fitted trousers for the spring!

Adrien Broner: The Problem [VIDEO]

GOAG — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 22:55:51 +0000

The boxer who some are calling "the new Floyd Mayweather," Adrien Broner, faces Gavin Rees on February 16th at 10:30PM EST on HBO Championship Boxing. I've seen this kid a few times and he definitely makes you think about Money-May, mimicking his signature boxing style; and there's no question that Broner's swag and bravado is only rivaled by Mayweather himself. The WBC/WBO Lightweight Champion recently released a mini-documentary exclusive to Jay-Z's Life+Time.

In this exclusive mini documentary, Life+Times visits lightweight champion and the man many believe to be the heir to the throne currently occupied by pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather, Adrien Broner. As Broner trains in Colorado Springs for his upcoming fight with Gavin Rees, the 23-year-old gives insight on his childhood, boxing origins and how he narrowly avoided 57 years in jail to change his life and become the sport’s next big thing. We also talk to Broner about his love for hip hop and his own budding crew of artists. Finally, Broner addresses the comparisons to Floyd Mayweather, whether he would fight the man he calls “big bro” and his plans to take over the sport.

Love this visual by the Broner camp. My gladiator is already turned all the way up in anticipation for this fight tomorrow!

Michelle Jenneke’s Natural Progression From Hurdler To Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model Has Happened, No Complains Here

GOAG — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:26:00 +0000

I ask the question: Is it fair, that models spend their entire lives chasing the Holy Grail which is the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and never get it, yet a 19-year-old hurdler gets an offer to do so seemingly by accident? To which I answer my own question: Who cares? Michelle Jenneke almost broke the internet with her signature pre-race dance last year at the 2012 Junior World Championships in Barcelona becoming an instant viral craze (oh, and she won the race too by the way). Now, The Australian sensation is all smiles as she shoots for SI and of course, shows off her singnature dance for the cameras. I'll stop talking now and let you enjoy the show. Congrats to Michelle and her new found stardom.

Here's the original dance during the 2012 Junior World Championships just in case you spent that summer living in a cave without any electricity.
