Starring Common & Queen Latifah. Lonnie writes this via his blog:
I’m very very excited for ya’ll to check out the new Just Wright trailer. I really dig it and can’t wait for it to come out May 14. (It’s my first lead ya’ll!) Check out my hoopin skills and let me know what you think. I’m writing now and working with No I.D. and I’m also working on a pilot for a tv show that deals with wrongly accused convicts. It’s really a concept that shows the way their life is after jail. Keep me posted on what ya’ll think of the movie.
During All-Star weekend, Jordan and a few of his friends came together to celebrate the Jordan Brand at the exclusive Fabulous 23 Party. As hard as it is to believe, the brand has been around for 25 years. Oddly enough, the brand has been around longer than some of its athletes. In addition to Team Jordan athletes Dwayne Wade, Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, and Josh Howard, Jordan was joined by Cedric the Entertainer, Robin Thicke, Vivica A. Fox, Common, Russell Simmons and Spike Lee. – KicksOnFire
