“I’m born to win/Yes, we gon’ win/No, the game can’t stop right here.”
The chorus line from newly signed MMG member Stalley’s “Born to Win” seems appropriate for this new Nike Sportswear video starring Lamar Odom. In “Always On: Lamar Odom”, we see the Lakers big man retrace his Queens, New York roots to the place where his game was born to win. LO didn’t stop when trouble at UNLV had his college career in jeopardy, nor when early Clippers, Heat and Lakers teams struggled to be considered serious contenders, and all this hard work and persistence paid off with two NBA Championship rings. Will Odom and the Lake Show capture a third title with their fourth NBA Finals run in five years? That depends largely on the ability of negotiators to settle the NBA lockout, but you can rest assured that for NBA stars like Lamar Odom quietly working to get ready for whenever the upcoming season starts, it’s ‘Always On’.

We got our first look at a season that may never be this June when Nike Basketball showed off a bunch of player exclusive colorways for some of their most explosive players. The Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2011 was teased in Rudy Gay, Russell Westbrook, Lamar Odom and, of course, Rajon Rondo PE colorways, and now we have a closer look at each pair. Odom and Westbrook’s pairs are two-toned while Rondo and Gay add a third shade for their Swooshes, and we expect all of these to be fairly limited (House of Hoops, perhaps?). Click through to see more photos of all four Zoom Hyperfuse 2011 PEs and grab them well in advance of the retail drop from Kicks-crew.

This past NBA season was one of the most entertaining in recent memory, thanks in large part to the league featuring more talent per roster slot (and per team in many cases) than at any time since Michael Jordan’s first retirement. Nike Basketball finds themselves in the fortunate position of outfitting the majority of the league and most of that group is outfitted in one of two top-flight series that are also really starting to come into their own. Just check out these Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2011 player exclusive colorways we’ll be seeing on the hardwood if the NBA and its union ever resolve their ongoing negotiations. You gotta hope the 2011-12 campaign isn’t shortened by even a game when guys like Rajon Rondo, Russell Westbrook, Rudy Gay and Lamar Odom are all making spectacular plays while jockeying for playoff positioning. Click through to see those four Zoom Hyperfuse 2011 PEs along with the black, Photo Blue and Volt edition that’s becoming this model’s signature colorway and stick with Sneaker News for the release dates. via HK-Kicks

Los Angeles is a major Nike Basketball hotspot thanks to Kobe Bryant and the Nike Zoom Kobe VI. Although Kobe Bryant is the only Laker player with a Nike signature shoe, most of the Lakers notables are decked out in Nike gear, like Lamar Odom, who is known for wearing some of the slickest PEs, Shannon Brown, who got a special PE of the Nike Zoom Kobe V for the 2010 Dunk Contest, and other key players on the squad. Here we have a nice collection of game-issued Nike Basketball sneakers, each pair autographed by the player who intended to wear them; two Kobe VIs for Kobe along with one each for Brown and Luke Walton, Andrew Bynum’s Zoom Hyperfuse, and what might be the cream of the crop, Lamar Odom’s Zoom Hyperfuse 2011. Want a pair of these? Check out all six below because we’ve got a detailed gallery as well as direct links to the auctions from nytryder8 on eBay.
