Nike announced on Monday that tennis legend Andre Agassi, the face of their tennis line during the 90s is official back with the company.

Agassi was know for his bright-colored sneakers and neon gear when he bust onto the scene. He undoubtedly had some of the best-selling and most fashionable tennis shoes of all time. The flair of Agassi's kicks made them desirable for kids to wear not only on the tennis courts, but on the streets. Besides the a few minutes when the Michael Chang Reebok Pumps were hot, Nike consistantly ran the tennis sneaker game with Agassi in the 90s.

Agassi is an eight-time Grand Slam champion who competed in 15 Grand Slam finals and a 1996 Olympic gold medalist.

Here's is a look at Agassi's top Nikes in chronological order.

Awesome Goal By Chelsea's David Luiz

David Luiz, a Brazillian who plays for Chelsea of the English Premier League nailed a 38-yard goal during Chelsea's match against Fulham on Wednesday.  Thoroughly enjoyed the call in a language that I am unable to identify, except 36 seconds into the clip the announcer mentions the "Copacabana."

Animal bites player in Swiss league soccer game

Beware of the Pine Marten! That is the furry creature that ran on FC Thun’s field during a match against Zurich, causing play to stop.

Pine martens are part of the Mustelidae family which also includes the weasel, badger, otter and mink. They are about the size of a domestic cat.

After the pine marten displayed some elusiveness that would have made Barry Sanders proud, Zurich defender Loris Benito was able to corral the critter in with a diving stab, only to be bit on the finger in the process.

"In hindsight, I was probably a little foolish," Benito told Swiss television at halftime of the game. "You don't know what sort of disease it might be carrying. It was painful."

Goalkeeper David da Costa, with the help of his gloves, was eventually able to get a hold of the pine marten and get it off the field for good. Zurich won the game 4-0.

Which New York Knick did Biggie Smalls rob?

Back in May, Jerry L. Barrow of The Urban Daily wrote this article in which he investigates who was the guy on the Knicks that had his girlfriend cheat on him with the Notorious B.I.G. before also getting robbed by Biggie according the song "Story To Tell"  from BIG's classic 1997 album Life After Death. With Saturday marking the 15th anniversary of Biggie's passing, I figured now would be the perfect time to share Barrow's article with those who missed it.

As the story goes, according to Biggie, he was up in another dude's crib with another dude's girl while her boyfriend, who was on the Knicks played against the Jazz. When he returned home early, Biggie got creative and made it look like it was a robbery and he made off with guy's cash.

So who was the guy on the Knicks? Well, as Barrow points out, Life after Death came out on March 25, 1997 and was recorded between September of 1995 and January of 1997. The only time the Knicks played the Jazz at home during that span was on Nov. 12, 1995 and on Dec. 17, 1996, narrowing down the possibilities to the Knicks rosters from those two seasons.

Biggie also mentions that it was "One of them 6'5" n****as." Well, during that span the Knicks had Larry Johnson and Allen Houston, both listed at 6'6", both of who were on the 96-97 roster. But what about 6'5" players? They only had one. Hubert Davis. Davis played his last season in New York in 95-96, making him the most likely candidate. IF this was indeed a true story, it likely went down on Nov. 12, 1995.

That night, Davis scored four points in nine minutes off the bench as the Knicks topped the Jazz, 120-110 at Madison Square Garden. What happened to him after he left the Garden? Well, that remains up to your imagination.
