K1X Supporting Cancer-Stricken Baller

The Warrior will be back!

Ademola Okulaja is a very good reason to buy a dope t-shirt. Team Germany’s power forward–also known as The Warrior in Bamberg–is fighting the battle of his life against cancer. Doctors diagnosed his condiction in July.

“The warior will be back” is the message, available exclusively at Ballerz World (Bamberg) and on KICKZ.com. The imprint shows Okulajas’s trademark glare, that embodies K1X’s claim “play hard–don’t embarrass our products” to perfection. The edition volume of 513 tees is a tribute to Okulajas’ jersey numbers for the German national team (No. 5) and his current team (Brose Baskets Bamberg), as well as his alma matter North Carolina (No. 13). The tee costs € 20. Every cent will go to KINDerLEBEN e.V., a cancer charity organization for kids, which Okulaja specifically chose for this cause.

The Warrior will be back!

    When I pulled the page up at first there was no text and only the black front picture of the shirt. Then when I refreshed it showed the rest.

    I’m sorry to hear this, and I hope he makes a full recovery. The story doesn’t indicate what kind of cancer he has–though cancer is cancer, I’m curious. I remember when Ademola played preseason for the Sixers a few years ago and was probably better than some of the players we kept. My prayers are with him and his family.
