Did anyone actually root for the Brooklyn Nets this season? Did Hov only do that so hopefully you won’t have to go through that?
This article about the making of Kids and what happened to the cast since 1995 by Caroline Rothstein is better than the movie itself. It mainly focuses on Harold Hunter and Justin Pierce, but manages to catch up with just about everyone with any sort of role in the film. An absolute must-read for any nineties east coast skate nerd.
Mic-E Reyes talks about punching people and getting punched during his Deluxe team manager days in a new interview with Chris Nieratko.

To remind us of simpler times, we upgraded the quality on the 2009 Mind Field re-edit.
The new Russ Milligan part is super chill.

Spot Updates: The Penn Plaza manual pad is done for. Ten years later, and Reese Forbes still has the best trick on it.
QS Sports of the Week: “Delfino dunking on Durant is like going to another county and seeing that they have pictures of dogs on the money.” — @netw3rk
