NBA stars making affordable shoes!

I was watching the Today show this morning and they had a story about Stephon Marbury and Ben Wallace. They are coming out with a new line of shoes (called Starbury). And here's the great thing, instead of selling them for $100+ they know what it's like to grow up and be poor and not be able to afford shoes like that, so they are selling these shoes for only $15! For those who want to read the whole story, here's the link:

I think this is such a great thing, especially for parents who have many kids who want name-brand shoes but cannot afford them.

I still don't have much respect for Marbury's game, but I will definitely look at him in a new light as far as a person goes.

Ya I don't really a lot of respect of a lot of celbs, but it's nice to see once in a while someone comes out and states that they care more about the people instead of the money. Very rare these days I think.
