what shall we call the event?

name generation ideas:

SS 'sneaker swap'

SXC 'sneaker xchange'

DXC 'dunk xchange' - already an event :(

Sneaker bombs

Sneaker fest

Laced up

All Laced up

Sneaker Pimps

All dunked up

Decision:

1) SXC 'sneakerxchange'

I really like this name as it has a flow to it and is easy to read, but it only highlights one part of the festival (shoe swapping) and not the rest of who and what the festival is really about 'the community'

2) all dunked up

I also really like this name and would most likely use this name for the festival as it represents the culture and the birth of JORDANS. The meaning of dunk in basketball terms means to;

1) score by shooting the ball down through the basket with the hands above the rim

2) a shot downwards into the basket with the hands above the rim

Bucks beat Thunder on controversial Antetokounmpo basket

(The Sports Xchange) – Giannis Antetokounmpo caught the inbounds pass and immediately turned to size up his defender.

Antetokounmpo took a quick step to his right, crossing over his left leg toward the baseline as he drove around the Oklahoma City Thunder’s Josh Heustis and then elevated toward the basket.

The Milwaukee Bucks star needed every bit of lift he could get, muscling on Thunder star Russell Westbrook just enough to get the dunk to fall through for the game-winner with 1.3 seconds left to lift the Bucks to a 97-95 win Friday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena.

The play left the Thunder fuming.

Antetokounmpo appeared to step out of bounds with his left foot as he drove past Heustis, and Oklahoma City players pointed at the video board high above the court.

The Thunder got composed enough for Westbrook to heave a desperation 3-pointer toward the bucket, but it came up short.

Antetokounmpo said afterward he hadn’t seen the play and said he wasn’t aware at the time that he might’ve stepped out of bounds.

“Coach trusted me having the ball late and making that play and do what I do best and go to the rim and try to make it happen,” Antetokounmpo said.

Afterward, several Thunder players continued protesting to the officials, as the replay was once again shown in the building, this time zeroing in on Antetokounmpo’s foot on the baseline.

“I guess we’ll see something on the ticker that says the referees missed that one,” Oklahoma City’s Carmelo Anthony said.

“We can’t do nothing about that at this point, so we might as well forget about it and move on and get ready for … who do we play Sunday? Dallas? Get ready for Dallas.”

Thunder coach Billy Donovan wasn’t among those protesting.

“I asked them if they could review it and they said they could not review it,” Donovan said. “That’s the only explanation I got.”

After the game, crew chief Derrick Stafford told a pool reporter the play was not reviewable.

“In any reviewable matter, there has to be a whistle called on the floor,” Stafford said. “There was no whistle blown for the play, so we couldn’t review it.”

Bucks coach Jason Kidd didn’t get too caught up in the call.

“I don’t understand the whole protest,” Kidd said. “I can only worry about the score and then them trying to put time on the clock.”

It was a strange end to a wild game.

The Bucks built up a 22-point lead in the first quarter and then slowly gave the lead up before Westbrook’s deep 3-pointer with 5.7 seconds left tied the game for the first time since it was scoreless.

Milwaukee called a timeout to advance the ball, setting up Antetokounmpo’s game-winner.

Antetokounmpo finished with 23 points and 12 rebounds to lead Milwaukee (19-15) to its second consecutive win. Khris Middleton added 20, John Henson 18 and Tony Snell 15.

“Just getting a win is big,” Antetokounmpo said. “I think I did a good job moving the ball offensively and playing hard defensively.”

A night before, Milwaukee came back from a 20-point deficit to beat Minnesota.

Westbrook scored a season-high 40 points, 14 in the final quarter. Anthony and Jerami Grant added 12 each for the Thunder (20-16), who had a six-game winning streak snapped.

“I‘m more concerned about the fact that we didn’t play well in the first quarter,” Donovan said.

“There were some things that we needed to do better. Obviously, he stepped out of bounds. Everybody knows that. I did not get a chance to personally see the replay. I was trying to ask for a review. They couldn’t review it, but that’s something they have to deal with and the league has to deal with. I think the things I try to focus on is, what do we have to do to get better.”

NBA-Highlights of Monday’s NBA games

(The Sports Xchange) – Highlights of Monday’s National Basketball Association games:

Warriors 99, Cavaliers 92

Klay Thompson broke a late tie with a 3-pointer and Kevin Durant protected the lead with two key defensive plays on LeBron James, lifting the Golden State Warriors to a 99-92 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA’s marquee matchup on Christmas Day.

Neither team led by more than nine points in the tightly contested rematch of last spring’s NBA Finals, which the Warriors won in five games.

Durant, despite just 8-for-19 shooting, had 25 points to pace the Warriors, who have won six of their last seven at home against the Cavaliers.

Kevin Love had a game-high 31 points and 18 rebounds for the Cavaliers. James was held to 20 points on 7-for-18 shooting.

Sixers 105, Knicks 98

Joel Embiid had 25 points and 16 rebounds, and J.J. Redick added 24 points with four 3-pointers as Philadelphia snapped its season-high five-game losing streak.

Enes Kanter had 31 points — including 14 in the third quarter — and 22 rebounds, and Kristaps Porzingis added 22 points for the Knicks, who have lost three of four after winning four straight.

Ben Simmons, who struggled offensively and finished with eight points, had a crucial steal and breakaway dunk with 1 minute, 6 seconds left, jumping in front of a Porzingis pass and taking it the other way to give the 76ers an eight-point cushion. He then forced a turnover on New York’s next possession, and Philadelphia was able to juice the clock late.

Wizards 111, Celtics 103

Kelly Oubre Jr. and Bradley Beal both scored five straight points during a late 12-0 run, leading Washington past Boston.

It was the first time the Celtics played at home on Christmas, and they were fighting an uphill battle throughout the game. They wiped out an 11-point third-quarter deficit and led by five before the Wizards (19-15) caught fire.

Beal scored 25 points and grabbed eight rebounds and John Wall had 21 points, 14 assists and five boards. Kyrie Irving and Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 20 points apiece.

Thunder 112, Rockets 107

Russell Westbrook scored 31 points to lift Oklahoma City over Houston.

Westbrook outdueled James Harden, who finished with 29 points.

Paul George added 24 and Carmelo Anthony 20 for the Thunder, who extended their season-long winning streak to five games.

Trevor Ariza and Eric Gordon scored 20 for the Rockets, who lost for the third consecutive time after winning 14 consecutive games.

Timberwolves 121, Lakers 104

Taj Gibson and Jimmy Butler scored 24 points apiece and Minnesota continued its best start in 14 years with a victory against Los Angeles.

Karl-Anthony Towns had 21 points and 10 rebounds and Jamal Crawford contributed 19 points off the bench for the Timberwolves, who shot a season-high 58.3 percent from the floor.

Kyle Kuzma made 6 of 11 3-pointers and scored 31 points to lead the Lakers. Jordan Clarkson added 17 points and Julius Randle scored 16 off the bench.
