Wow, this is just...ugh.

The maker of Power Balance sports wristbands has reached a tentative agreement to take over naming rights at Arco Arena.

 

A source with knowledge of the deal told The Bee that Power Balance LLC has made a tentative agreement for a five-year deal.

 

Arco's agreement runs out after the end of the NBA season, ending a 25-year relationship. Its departure leaves the Maloof family, which owns the team and the building, searching for a replacement in a down economy.

 

...

Power Balance, based in Laguna Niguel, is a $35 million-a-year maker of trendy silicone wristbands worn by such athletes as Lamar Odom of the Los Angeles Lakers and soccer star David Beckham. The company has run into some controversy; its Australian website recently posted a statement saying there's no "credible scientific evidence" supporting the company's claims about the health effects of the wristbands. But the company quickly issued a statement defending the products.

What is Power Balance?

 

Power Balance is Performance Technology designed to work with your body’s natural energy field. Founded by athletes, Power Balance is a favorite among elite athletes for whom balance, strength and flexibility are important.

 

How Does the Hologram Work?

 

Power Balance is based on the idea of optimizing the body’s natural energy flow, similar to concepts behind many Eastern philosophies. The hologram in Power Balance is designed to resonate with and respond to the natural energy field of the body.

I love Stacey King.

An 8 foot birthday cake with a crown on it? God I hate that man. I take back my semi-apology post.

Sounds like Turtle has gone from organizing Vinnie Chase's B-Day to Wade's and Lebron's B-Day's now.

Bogans is to Thibodeau what Wise and Kotsay were to Ozzie Guillen.

That color commentator (whoever he is) is complete trash. Awesome dunk though.

Jeez. Stacey King is absolutely awesome. He's like a fan... but really knowledgeable and completely in the know in regards to the team.

 

King rules, Felix drools!

King is definitely a less senile Hawk. Don't really care, I love both.

It's 86-35 in the Lakers/Cavs game right now.

 

It's the 3rd quarter.

It's near the end of the 3rd quarter should be pointed out in the post.

Somewhere Dan Gilbert is typing a suicide note in Comic Sans.

I'm going to try out for the Cavaliers tomorrow. I'll be their backup SF.

Count me in. I can play the 1 or the 2, though I'm pretty short for a NBA sg.

WOW. Lebron is a f***ING EPIC DOUCHE BAG

 

"Crazy. Karma is a b****.. Gets you every time. Its not good to wish bad on anybody. God sees everything!"

He did not say that.

No, he did. http://twitter.com/#!/kingjames

This isn't news.

No, he did. http://twitter.com/#!/kingjames

I believe he said it, I follow him on twitter too. Just in disbelief.

I take it back. lol. LeBron, you are a f***ing asshole. But good for you for leaving Cleveland. My goodness. An NBA team just lost by 55 points. These Cavs remind me of the '99 Bulls. And at least with the '99 Bulls they lost EVERYBODY. This Cavs team lost one player and are now, like, the worst franchise in sports.

lakers destroyed any dignity cleveland has left. and the word destroy might even be understating the score.

Lebron is too stupid to realize what he just did. He calls out gilbert in that tweet, but by tweeting that he's doing the same thing Gilbert did to him.

Wow, this is just...ugh.

 

What are power balance bands?

Get the heck out of my neighborhood with this crap.

Wade doesn't want to lose in douchieness to LBJ.
