| Brandon Jennings Scores Internship with Under Armour Posted: 03 Aug 2011 01:28 PM PDT 
The lockout has spurred talks of many players taking their game overseas. Brandon Jennings has already done that. Ever the trendsetter, the Bucks point guard has landed an internship with his endorser Under Armour. As "Curator of Cool" B. Jennings meets with developers in basketball and jogging footwear. Perks include driving CEO Kevin Plank's Jeep, an all-expenses-paid condo, and a glass-enclosed office overlooking the city's harbor. Brandon spends most of his time working out in the company's training facility with the help of Duke legend Jay Williams. Many of the workout sessions are conducted on a half court surrounded by conference rooms and cubicles. The internship is scheduled to end in September but could go on as long as the lockout.

| Jordan “DJ3K” Trunk Charity Auction Posted: 03 Aug 2011 10:28 AM PDT 
Derek Jeter first suited up for the Yankees in 1995. Since then, he's racked up over 3000 hits, swung for over 230 home runs, been selected to 12 All-Star Games, rocked 10 Jordan signature shoes and won five Wolrd Series championships. Oh, and he's nowhere near done. To commemorate the hitting of his 3000th hit, which was fittingly a home run, and his career with the Jumpman, JB has designed this special trunk to be auctioned off for charity. Filled with all ten if Jeter's sneaks, autographed and dated of course, this trunk can be bid on at Steiner Auctions now. All proceeds go to Jeter's Turn 2 Foundation.
