This is the Tumblr site for Ball In, the World’s Best Basketball Blog. Ball In started as a paper zine in the mid-90s and became a blog on ManilaUserland in the late-90s. (The original site is: ballin.editthispage.com) In Ball In, Basketball Is… Accessories, about basketball clothes (Shorts), equipment, collectibles (Cards) and fashion - Books, (yes) books are reviewed (guess what gets reviewed in Basketball Is… Movies) - Madness (college hoops) - Politics (radical Democratic Party and lefter) - Assists (other sites to check out) and spans the Basketball Universe - including Religion, Advertising, Beer, Brunch, Poetry, Family, Home, Racism, Music, Feminism, TV. Oh, yeah, and Love (and Sex), which I don’t think we’ve gotten enough of in, if only because just like in Basketball, the only two things you can control in Love (and Sex) are defense and accessories.Tumblr (3.0; @ball-in)http://ball-in.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/1cdd6d442d4057f854a9e2a74a6d6c05/tumblr_mn9buhwNt01qd3c98o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://slamonline.tumblr.com/post/51151333822">slamonline</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>#tbt Sixers vs. Celtics</p> </blockquote>http://ball-in.tumblr.com/post/51155753072http://ball-in.tumblr.com/post/51155753072Thu, 23 May 2013 12:43:49 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/568c90efd5b16a8c732c1d5b3fa42681/tumblr_mmz1nye3Pw1qggc5jo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://fullmetalstarterjacket.tumblr.com/post/50695527886/michelangleo-jordan">fullmetalstarterjacket</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Michelangleo Jordan </p> </blockquote>http://ball-in.tumblr.com/post/50816263850http://ball-in.tumblr.com/post/50816263850Sun, 19 May 2013 09:00:35 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c65fe0a3ad1fb77ceac1012ff60964e9/tumblr_mmz4nvdOtd1qcgalmo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://paulkatcher.tumblr.com/post/50700212855/a-rare-photo-of-baseball-hall-of-famer-dave">paulkatcher</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>A rare photo of Baseball Hall of Famer Dave Winfield grabbing a rebound for the Minnesota Golden Gophers is part of <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/main/photos/1305/best-college-athletes-of-all-time/50/">Sports Illustrated’s gallery of the 50 best college athletes of all time</a>.</p> </blockquote>http://ball-in.tumblr.com/post/50813110374http://ball-in.tumblr.com/post/50813110374Sun, 19 May 2013 07:43:08 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/a948fd254e205f46577f061e9aa8b9af/tumblr_mmxb11HgTB1qilp74o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://ball-in.tumblr.com/post/50813002836http://ball-in.tumblr.com/post/50813002836Sun, 19 May 2013 07:40:18 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/8a61cb5102591be0adca1af081322238/tumblr_mmx5ie7uug1rwnfmeo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/af051e5aa09ec0840c39940f9d99700c/tumblr_mmx5ie7uug1rwnfmeo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://royal-kira.tumblr.com/post/50619271247/knicks-stripes">royal-kira</a>:</p> <blockquote> <div> <p>My <strong>Knicks Stripes</strong> nail art!</p> <p>I painted these with the hope that the Knicks will win!

Pero ang maganda dun kahit na natalo kami nakagain kami ng experience na talagang hindi namin makakalimutan. Yung tipong isa ako sa mga maraming nashoot na bola. Potek! wala pa akong experience nun ah. 1st time ko lang magbasketball nun at hindi na yun mauulit pa. Amazona kasi ang peg ko nung mga panahon na yun. Eh hindi naman bagay sa katauhan ko.Tapos kinabukasan may sugat ako sa paa at masakit ang buong katawan ko na halos ayoko ng tumayo. Late nga akong pumasok nun eh.</p> <p>Pero nung time na yun na ece week ang dami kong nakilala na mga maituturing ko na kaibigan. Nakakakilala ako ng mga ece student sa iba-ibang year kahit na freshman lang ako nung mga panahon na yun.
