this is now a thing

or it will be as of sometime this week

apparently the sock-esque protuberance is a "calf-length compression sleeve" that i guess is built into these shoes

yeah durant wore them for warmups but hasn't warn them in a game yet iirc

Wouldn't that cause more knee injuries / wear+tear?

not sure why it would? just socks more or less.

I remember reading somewhere that the more you immobilize the ankles, the more stress goes into the knees. So if they're just compression socks, maybe not?

this is going to end with players in full body compression iron man/ greenscreen suits up to their necks and in 2023 some young hotshot will start covering his head and then THAT'S gonna be a thing

durant looks like a double amputee there

logo patch approved. supposedly gonna bring an extra 100 milli + in per year.

BREAKING: Adam Silver said it's likely Hornets will have Brand Jordan logo on jerseys in 2017-18, not the Nike logo like rest of league.

love my brands

wow p nice imo

Font is ugly but otherwise looks pretty good IMO.

im kinda feeling the font tho wldve been better if they went all the way blocky for that 8-bit look

The crown is hella bizarre to me

its supposed to depict depth but just ends up looking weird and abstract

file under inspired by stussy

http://i.imgur.com/aQqF3l9.png

unbelievable, they wearing them at home too!

that crown reminds me of

http://i.imgur.com/qmzMUij.jpg

appropriate to the kings basketball organisation

with the full name, i like it but with just "SAC" it looks a bit like a distended testicle and once seen that cannot be unseen

buzz city

pls stop

Really like the color scheme of the buzz city unis. Actually like everything about those minus the sleeves and the fact that they say buzz city.

guy who doesn't live in Charlotte: hey I'm thinking of visiting Charlotte, what's the most notable thing about your town
Charlotte guy: we have so many bees that we call it buzz city. We love our fantastic bees.

Bees are v important haven't u heard they are all dying

its official

http://www.nba.com/kings/NewLogo

nice, i like it a lot more with the white outline

interested to see what they come up w for unis

yeah it makes way more sense with the white outline. i thought the crown looked random as fuck otherwise.

http://i.imgur.com/cYsXmUL.png

Very nice! I mean the logo, not the tattoos.

lol http://newsok.com/article/5495252

russ is so weird

the weirdest

cn we talk abt those uniforms for a sec theyre like the least basketball uniform uniforms ever they look like a white tee, i think they shd go all the way w it tho all white except team/name/number

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CheG_TyUoAAXmEU.jpg

lmao love it, they should all wear damn daniels with it as well

those white ones are prob the best okc unis but the stripes on the pants are nonsensical. it's like someone designed good uniforms and was like "wait these are for okc they have to be hideous in some way"

those road blues are horrible too

imo just join nike and rebrand

UA did such a poor job marketing curry

yeah dumping the curry brand is def the way to go

Wild

kudos to nike for making the city edition unis more subtlety awful this year you barely even notice unless its a close up big improvement

also theyre not mandatory for cup games

Agree overall but the sin of a celtics uniform with no green is grievous

that is for sure a crime against society

these are sweet

https://i.postimg.cc/DyYgJx1q/image.png

perfect la look, shame about the team/player/owner

clippers should have alternates in lakers colors

whenever i see these i always momentarily wonder when harden got traded to the suns

so many guys wearing tshirts under their jerseys this season which is ILLEGAL

hahaha

isn’t it supposed to be only allowed if you have an injury or something? it’s a good rule imo!

yeah as far as i know unless they changed it, for a while it was strictly compression shirts but now some guys are out there rocking free flowing tees like its college

surefire way to look like you average 6.3 points for purdue

It’s such a bad look the nba needs to crack down

steph castle wears the shirt under just like his uconn days, and as a husky boy who once upon a time wore t shirts to swim in i support the boys wearing what makes them feel comfortable up to and including full body suits to become more aerodynamic and futuristic looking

It works for college but needs to stay there!

think abt the possibility of scuba suit steph

this is what happens when chris paul isn't around to police things

What have they done to our beautiful game, watching the hornets dubs and just from the regular broadcast view I can see these logos:

Hornets
Mortgage matchup
Skims
Spectrum
Bet365
State Farm
Tissot
Kia
Bank of America
Novant health
Judi health
“City edition” wording under the hoop
Some alt hornets state logo

Plus FanDuel on the scorebug
Plus Nike, Jordan, NBA, judi health, rakuten on the jerseys..

Plus the dark colored court.

All just a complete assault on the senses I hate it, can we go back to a simpler time please

basketball filtered through business school brain

one absurd thing with the virtual court ads is youre watching your local team on the local channel play an away game and theres say ads for a boston area supermarket on a court in phoenix

someone needs to learn how to hack the virtual ads and just put a silhouette of a guy with his hog out (not jerking off tho jesus!!!)

stah mahket?

freakin star market all day kid

gotta be the one that hovers over the pike

one time i was in that one with my friend ben who looks nothing like me btw but we were both wearing yellow tshirts and the lady checking us out asked if we were brothers

a truly perverse technology

its fucking wild that the guy just replied to her tweet didnt even bother to do his weird little thing where she wouldnt see it, which no doubt was the whole thrill for him, the perfect confluence of social media shamelessness and ai degradation

lol sorry wrong thread

social media shamelessness and ai degradation have subsumed everything including all threads #onethread and things of that nature

sad

haa wow

The Atlanta Hawks are having a Magic City collaboration https://reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1rfg7k4/the_atlanta_hawks_are_having_a_magic_city/

I literally bought tickets to this game two days ago. Because I'm going to be in Atlanta for a work conference that week, I've never been this lucky in my entire life.

report back on the wings

xp i demand a full rundown of this experience

Shams Charania @ShamsCharania

Statement from NBA commissioner Adam Silver: “When we became aware of the Atlanta Hawks’ scheduled promotion, we reached out to Hawks leadership to better understand their plans and rationale. While we appreciate the team’s perspective and their desire to move forward, we have heard significant concerns from a broad array of league stakeholders, including fans, partners and employees. I believe canceling this promotion is the right decision for the broader NBA community.”

(thats a followup to the cancellation post btw)

I got an email from the Hawks saying it was canceled..... But TI is still performing half time. And I can still get the wings.

also if you pre ordered the hoody those are still getting delivered i think. those will be a hot ebay item im sure

yeah gotta keep that in the packaging serious collectable now that it got canceled

The undershirt is a scourge. Watching nuggets warriors and there’s five on the court right now w gafford, gp2, pat spence, naji and Flagg.

The looser ones the mavs are wearing look so cheap and dingy. They need to be compression or no go.
