I don't get who you're selling these dunks to? NBA Basketball players reading your website? Shoe companies that are going to compel their sponsored athletes to do your dunks?

I started this project while working at Adidas Global basketball... Believe it or not, I have worked directly for Nike and Adidas and know a few people that know a few people. I promote this work to people at Adidas who know people like John Wall and Ben McLemore... I also bombard NBA players on twitter! Welcome to the new world my friend...
- 900 tweets to NBA players, somebody reads this shit!********

Let's just say, I know the fellows at Adidas basketball very well and they know me... They like to twist and distort ideas to make them their own... I would not be surprised if you see a #FireballDunk or #MarchingBandDunk or #DunkOverThePresidentOfTheUnited... or #GoogleGlassDunk ;)

They announce the remaining dunkers tomorrow... Really only want to see Gerald Green and DeAndre Jordan in the dunk contest. Paul George seems to be out... Not sure.

I think it is pretty simple what I am saying. I worked at Adidas last year, started concepting dunks over a year ago as a personal project. Been tweeting NBA players all year to do them. Now they just announced the first official dunk participant Portland's Damian Lilard... What do you not understand my young special friend? If you don't have anything to contribute to this conversation, please join another one...

Or if you actually took the time to read something, maybe you would get it... It's longer than 144 characters so you might get lost! ;)

Cirque it seems like you have a lot of energy. Too bad it's misdirected to these efforts that don't really pay off for you.
Lifehack: try channeling all of this into something actually productive?

believe it or not... you talk about yourself waaaay too much

I don't consider it a waste of time or energy when you love something.... Anywhoooo...

I think it's funny people get mad because I post shit out of left field and work on projects I actually care about (that don't pay me jack shit). Regardless if anyone cares or not. In all honesty, sports and basketball is a huge part of Portland, Oregon. If you're good at design, intimately know the material your designing for, and show "initiative and resolve" you can do quite well here. I'm going to continue on this path with no map or forumla for "traditional success" and so far doing quite well. Perhaps some of you naysayers should rethink your own design careers and I'll start posting productive positive feedback when you have a project that is actually new and interesting. QBN is starting to prove to me that there simply isn't alot of creativity on this board.
- You just rub people the wrong with all your boasting and delusions of grandeur. Tone it down a bit.Complexfruit

No cirquemedia, it's not the lack of creativity. It's the abundance of humility. More often than not you act like you are God's gift to what you do. You don't know when to keep quiet. Constant bragadocia. You're like a kid on a street corner trying to brag about a new toy you got to all the other kids who already have it and are passing by you and not paying attention.
It's cool that you're into what you're into. Nothing wrong with that. Just stop shoving it down everyone's throats all the time. Learn to edit what you're going to say instead of this spastic, always-on stream of consciousness. You'll find that people will treat you far differently when you stop acting like you're such hot shit all the time.
