Sportstorialist: The NBA Needs to Stop Its Latest Uniform Experiment


The quiet shudder that made its way around the NBA a couple weeks ago nfl cheap jerseys had something to do with a uniform tweak. The league unveiled sleeved jerseys and announced its lab rats would be the Golden State Warriors. Debuting this occasional experiment on these particular guys was both a punishment and ontological bad luck: They may be sixth in the Western Conference, but when it comes to exploitation they're the last straw.

I think the reason for the shudder had less to do with a fear of change and more to do with what the league was asking these guys to change into. In the still photographs that were released steelers jerseys with the announcement, Harrison Barnes modeled the new look: a snug yellow jersey whose sleeves end at the middle of the triceps. Tight sleeves are where modern rugby has always been and men's tennis has momentarily landed. For basketball, the snugness is a kind of innovation and a reintroduction of the past.

Which is to say it might not have been the jerseys alone dallas cowboys jerseys that necessarily made people nervous. Although Adidas says the shirts are lighter, they still seem restrictive. But that's not the main problem. If the Warriors' formfitting tops induced apprehension, it was for what those tops portend: form-fitting bottoms. Yes, these tops really do prod one to ask, "What's next?" And what's next in this back-to-the-future development could be nut-huggers — to which all one can really say is if Wilt Chamberlain didn't mind them, why should Stephen Curry? Yet, for now, the shirts are to be worn with long, baggy, pinstriped shorts that have nothing good to do with what's happening up top.

Heat 'Harlem Shake' video makes waves

Add the Miami Heat to 传奇私服 the "Harlem Shake" craze.

It was film in Miami's locker room, 传奇世界私服 with James saying it was a "King James and DwyaneWade" production.

7 2013 NBA Free Agents Guranteed to Search for Huge Payday in Offseason


Stringent collective bargaining agreement be damned, there are cheap football jerseys still plenty of NBA free agents who will be searching for a monstrous payday this summer.

While the Association's trade deadline was littered with arid, bordering-on-meaningless moves, the offseason promises to see much more action. Not in the sense that there will be more trades nba jerseys (there may), but in the sense that the free-agency period guarantees more player basketball jerseys movement.

From Chris Paul and Dwight Howard deciding upon their futures in Los Angeles to Josh Smith (finally) forcing his way out of Atlanta, we're staring down the barrel of a free-agency period that promises to advocate change, some of which will be expensive.

Fisher rejoins Thunder, not planning on retiring

Five-time NBA champion Derek Fisher isn't planning on his latest stint with the Oklahoma City Thunder being his last chance to play in the league. He has just one goal in mind and he'll wear a reminder of it on his new nfl jerseys jersey in every game.

Fisher chose No. 6 to wear cheap basketball jerseys on his uniform, to represent his quest for a sixth NBA title. He won five alongside Kobe Bryant with the Los Angeles Lakers and for the second straight season will join the Thunder for the stretch run to try and help Kevin Durant win his first.

"It symbolizes something for me in terms of No. 6 but basketball jersey it also symbolizes for me the reason why I'm here to be a part of this team and that's to help get No. 1,'' Fisher said Tuesday after his first practice.
