Hello! It's time for some basketball moves, half alien/human hybrids, conspiracy theories, secret societies, super human strength, other worlds, alien agendas, secret wars and off world technology. I am sure you are asking....... how does basketball fit into this list. Introducing the StreetDunkah basketball character. The half alien and half human hybrid created by German scientist in 1939 as part of a top secret advance weapons program called "The Dunkah Project.Well that's what the comic book series will be about.

StreetDunkah is a hardcore streetball player that is the concept for the new wave of TrashTalk tee shirts and also the main character for an upcoming comic book. The comic book will provide the backdrop, plots and adventures that associates this character and those subjects mentioned in the first paragraph. I am often asked....... why is he without a mouth? The answer: his basketball game is so complete and unstoppable that he doesn't need to say a word...his game does the talking for him. Well, this is something that all true streetballers understand. But there is still the satisfaction of voicing your braggadocios one liner after you posterize your opponent.  So, the Trashtalk tee shirt will accomplish that for you.   After you have posterized your opponent just stare at him and point to the shirt or say,"read the shirt".  Also don't forget to say..."StreetDunkah" babbbbbyyy!!!!!

Product Explanation

The product is a marketable cartoon character named StreetDunkah that is also a t-shirt line.  The t-shirt line is part of what is called TrashTalk t-shirts. TrashTalk is a competitive sports term which is basically a taunt or brag about your superior abilities over your opponent in a fun and joking way.

The premise of TrashTalk is to make a clever but humorous statement that conveys your greater skills over your opponent. Some examples of TrashTalk are: “Your Game Is So Bad, Even the Flies Stay Away” or “Your Mom Called, She Said You Left Your Game At Home”.  In this case the shirt does the talking for you. TrashTalk is particularly huge in the game of basketball, which is the sport that the StreetDunkah character was designed to represent. Although the concept is designed for basketball it will be implemented into other sports like football, hockey and soccer making its potential unlimited. The StreetDunkah mentality is universal and will appeal to any sports enthusiast. The potential of this type of character already has been proven with a company called AND1. This company was the only company to take a basketball character with a streetwise theme and make it a global brand. Although AND1 was a world success it has drastically decreased production of their TrashTalk t-shirts to concentrate more on their shoe and apparel markets. There is still a strong market for TrashTalk t-shirts and no one is serving this need on the national level. Athletes are stronger, faster and even more competitive than ever before and the TrashTalk is just as strong. No one is serving this need right now so this opens an opportunity for StreetDunkah to fill a void that has been left by the success of AND1.          

StreetDunkah is also one of 6 characters in a comic book novel called “The SAGA”. The goal with the character is to create a persona that will stand on its own and achieve celebrity status to promote itself.
It is a fact that clothing, comics and video gaming are mated items that cross into the others marketing landscapes repeatedly. A cartoon character is one of the most marketable forms of Intellectual Property because it gives all of the items that it is associated with a certain persona.

Grizzlies advance, win 4 straight over Clippers


Well, my hometown Memphis Grizzlies did it last night. They put together a four game stretch to defeat the L.A. Clippers. Congrats to the Grizzlies. This team has been improving each year even though there has been many big trades and some controversy with players, but it seems that that is a part of today's NBA landscape. Or it could be that some incidents are just blown out of proportion by the media. Anyway.....it is a happy time in Memphis and the bandwagon is overflowing now. Speaking of the Bandwagon....I don't get to watch the games on a regular basis but I am avid about supporting all of my hometown and home state teams any way I can. Since I only watch the most of the games during the playoffs; does that mean that I am a badwagoner (I know that's not a word) also? Huuuuummmm, I wonder. I don't care I am going to cheer the Grizzlies no matter what other people think.  I will be watching as they enter into the second round and even though the bandwagon is getting overcrowded, I won't miss this ride for anything. Stay "StreetDunkah".
