Just a small handful of games went down over the weekend, but what the NBA lacked in number, it overcompensated with heated competition and some new sneaks! The Los Angeles Clippers finally put away the tough Memphis Grizzlies as Chris Paul and his CP3.V led the Clippers to victory. Teammate Nick Young wore the best kicks though, wearing the Air Foamposite One ‘Metallic Red’ to match the Away uni. On the other side, Rudy Gay of the Memphis Grizzles brought back the Air Max Tempo in White/Navy. The other LA squad advanced to the second round as well, led by Kobe Bryant who wore the ‘Lakers’ colorway of the Zoom Kobe VII ‘Dart Frog’. The East was already on the Semi-Finals round of play, as LeBron wore the LeBron 9 ‘MVP’ and teammate Dwyane Wade chipped in with the Fly Wade 2 EV. Paul George, who has been Kobe VII-friendly this season, broke out the Nike Zoom Kobe VII Elite ‘Away’. The final game of the weekend was between Philly and Boston, led by Rajon Rondo’s Zoom Huarache 2K4 iD. More of the NBA below, so take a look and stay tuned for more! Photos: espn

The First Round of the 2012 NBA Playoffs is nearing its end, with two match-ups waiting for a decisive Game 7 to be determined. Kobe and the Lakers failed to close out their showdown with the Nuggets thanks to Ty Lawson’s career game (balling in the Nike LeBron 9 ‘Cool Grey’). The other LA team is still stuck in First Round limbo, as the Grizzlies staved off elimination with a key Game 5 victory. But six of the eight Second Round teams have already been established – one of them being the Miami Heat, who finally extinguished the battered Knicks in Game 5. To round out the headlines from the last two nights: The Sixers ‘upset’ the Rose-less Bulls, Tracy McGrady still hasn’t seen the Second Round, and Blake Griffin’s Hyperdunk Elites go under the microscope. Check out the highlights of the NBA from the last two nights and stay tuned for more 2012 NBA Playoffs coverage. Photos: espn

If you need some proof that Chris Paul is a different man once he steps on the NBA court, just take a look at a last night’s game, when he led the Clippers to a win by scoring 8 points in the OT period. The moment he steps off the court, he’s back to his jovial self, and that observation serves as the inspiration of the Jordan CP3.V ‘Jekyll & Hyde’ Pack that Sneaker News first gave you a look at in January. Right now is the perfect time to get in the CP3.V groove because four total colorways are releasing tomorrow; the Jekyll & Hyde Pack, which are built by inverse colorways of one another, and the Home and Away colorways of the Playoffs editions. As of now, it appears that none of the Jordan CP3.V releases slated for tomorrow will be hitting Nikestore either tomorrow (Jordan Brand’s appointed release date) or on Saturday alongside the three other big-name releases, so check your local Jordan Brand retailer to cop one of these summer-ready kicks!

Chris Paul and the Los Angeles Clippers have slowed a bit after shocking the basketball world by surging ahead of their Staples Center co-tenants. Lob City is still poised to host a first-round playoff series, though, and Paul has all the support from Jordan Brand he’ll need to stay fresh into the postseason. We’ve seen a relatively massive variety of Jordan CP3.V colorways this season, and quite a few of them manage to blend with the Clippers’ patriotic-leaning color scheme. This new pair in blue and white would make a suitable shoe for both away and home games, but how do they compare to the red-heavy drops we’ve seen him wear most often? Let us know when you click through for more images and stick with Sneaker News for US release info. Photos: UC

When used on the right shoe, patent leather just gives a sneaker the perfect amount of pop. Take for example this upcoming Jordan CP3.V colorway, colored up in two tones of blue (Obsidian and Varsity Royal) with a full patent leather upper. Another patent-leather built CP3.V that we’re all waiting for is the Jordan CP3.V ‘Jekyll & Hyde’ Pack that Sneaker News broke the news on in early January, but you can count on this Obsidian/Varsity Royal to hit retailers this May. Stay with Sneaker News for more Jordan Brand releases and updates, because we’ve got more coming your way!

Chris Paul’s departure from New Orleans put an end to the festive, Mardi Gras-inspired colorways of teals, golds, and purples seen in his Jordan CP3 signatures as well as Air Jordan PEs. One of the more notable Air Jordan x CP3 connections was this Air Jordan XX3, which feature a luurious white leather upper matched with teal blue stitching on the upper panel, thicker gold contrast stitching, and the jeweled midsole in the teal blue. On the tongue is Paul’s ’3′ logo laser-etched into the tongue, with Michael Jordan’s thumbprint on the opposite face. We’ve shown you this Air Jordan XX3 PE before, but there are actually a few others around – the Black/Baby Blue, a similar White/Baby Blue, and a White/Red/Black version from over three years ago. Check out the detailed gallery of this teal-based Home PE of the Air Jordan XX3 and stick with Sneaker News for more PE news and updates!

With the Jordan Brand ‘College Collection’ dropping tomorrow, how about we take a look back at Melo, Wade, and CP3′s greatest college-time achievements? Dwyane Wade led Marquette to the Final Four in 2003 while recording one of four triple-doubles in NCAA Tournament history, upsetting the top-ranked Kentucky Wildcats in the process. Chris Paul led Wake Forest to two straight tournament berths, getting as far as the Sweet 16 in the 2004 Tournament. The highest regard goes to Carmelo Anthony, who led Syracuse to its first ever National Championship in his Freshman year, earning the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player Award will receiving praise from coach Jim Boeheim, who called Melo the best player in college ball by far, emphatically making his point with “It wasn’t even close”. You can relive any one of those three stories tomorrow when the College Collection of the Fly Wade 2, Melo M8, and CP3.V hits retailers like Millenium Shoes, so let us know which of the three Jordan Brand stars had the best college career and cop any one of the three releases on eBay.
