    I have four Przybillas, a Blake from each time he was here, four Aldridges, three Roys, a Sergio, A Rudy, and a Pritchard. Plus a Petteri Kopponen Summer League jersey. Plenty of retros, lol...

    Then you should be fine to represent without having to be a billboard! I don't mind the sleeves for fans, don't like it for games. But I will not wear anything that turns me into a walking bus bench.

    The worst thing about sleeved jerseys? The NBA is forcing them upon us. There was no demand for them. They look terrible and I can't imagine they're optimal for playing professional basketball in, either.

    Like the plastic ball, the league and manufacturer made a secret contract to give the league a cut of future sales on a product with no current demand.

    I don't have a problem with sleeves in the NBA. They have no effect on the stroke, if they did baseball pitchers would all wear tank tops. I'm amazed how many fans hate them though

    It's not that the sleeves are long. It's that they are tight. The whole shirt is tight. These shirts should come with a gold chain.

    Yeah... not sure who designed them, but most people like loose clothing for basketball.

    Just wait until the NBA realizes how much more advertising they can sell if they make the players wear pants.

    NASCAR track suits are clearly the way to go.

    Still don't buy it. I grew up playing basketball, baseball, tennis and football with sleeves..Tank tops were only used in varsity games. Never noticed one iotta of difference in the motion. It's like saying, short shorts or baggy shorts. Fashion for fashions sake.
