Now that evil blog Editor Mike is away on business, that means we’re gonna be throwing a party here at I GO HARD NOW and will be tossing all the rules aside. YOLO and all that. So how am I gonna be breaking all the rules for this edition of the Morning Hardwood? I’m writing it the night before. I’m not a morning person, I’m not waking up early to write something. Fuck that noise. So yeah, here’s what I’m reading during half-time of the Spurs/Thunder game that I think you should all enjoy as well:

N7 Nike Zoom KD IV’s, Reebok Question, and Immortality by @YucciMane (from Digital Refrain)

I’ve never really understood the whole sneaker collecting thing. I’ve got a pair of Crazy Lights that I play in, a pair of Jordan’s that I’ll very rarely wear out, and then the rest of my shoes which generally veer towards being more dressy. That said, after reading this write-up from @YucciMane about his quest for a pair of KD IV’s and the re-release of Iverson’s Question, I think I get it. Maybe I should finally dive in and grab myself a pair of Dunks sometime this summer.

The Semi-Official 2012 Hardwood Paroxysm Donut Mock Draft by Danny Chau (from Hardwood Paroxysm)

I’m posting this for three very good reasons:

1. It’s an in-depth donut draft and I love donuts
2. My home-town Cleveland Cavaliers draft the glazed donut, which is represented by Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
3. Danny Chau runs the single best Chick-Fil-A blog on the internet and needs to get some I GO HARD NOW love for that fact

The Best of Coach Pop (from YouTube)

I love this man so much.
