And you thought the Nike LeBron 9 exclusives for Fairfax and St. Vincent-St. Mary were dope. Here are the exclusives made for Christ the King high school, complete with the school’s emblem on the tongue. The wine and gold colorway would’ve looked great in Cleveland with these, but alas they’ll probably live on at Christ the King (although LeBron James did rock his “Fairfax” editions earlier this season). The midsoles are speckled, and there is also actually a home edition of this pair as well, which is white and wine-colored. MORE >

Courtesy of our friends at The Mars Reel, they came through again with Carr’s official season mixtape, one in which his Patterson squad won the state title just a week ago with their star scoring 28 in the final. So all of you who think he’s just highlights (he’s not) and is a ball-hog (definitely not), sit back and enjoy this. MORE >

The author of this video has it right when he comments that this “doesn’t even make sense.” These are two short clips of 5-9 Kissimmee-Poinciana high school point guard Stefan Moody dunking with ease off of one step at the Home Team Hoops All-Florida Showcase Camp. No running start – he’s in the paint, takes a power dribble and dunks it.

5-9.

Moddy is slated to play for Florida Atlantic next year: MORE >
