    Allen Iverson was wrapped up like the Mummy and he had a great shooting stroke.

    The next big thing will be mens cropped capri workout pants.It will come in say around 2-3 years from now. You already see guys wearing them at the gym.

    TIGHT pants. And no cup. Got to appeal to the female audience.

    That's why they are implementing shirts. It's 1 step closer to shirts vs skins which will be used to increase female viewers.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I'm sure players would have appreciated cups when Karl Malone was still playing.

    Since they seem to be trying to copy soccer, wonder if they will start to give players the choice between short sleeve and long sleeve jerseys...

    I'm sure our own Chris Kaman would have appreciated one when Reggie Evans came sniffing.

    I really like the sleeves jerseys and will buy one. Tank tops have too much skin to wear anywhere but the beach. I get too hot when wearing a second shirt underneath. The NBA has different options for the sleeves some are tight but players can have loose sleeves if they prefer.

    A lot of traditionalist are close minded and resistant to any change. We've added a 3pt shot and 24sec clock to basketball which were criticized at the time.

    I'm kinda both ways with it. I don't mind it as long as it isn't just an addition to be used for marketing. I really dont want to start looking like the Euro jerseys... so ugly.

    As far as the 3pt and 24 sec stuff... on court stuff can't really be compared since it just takes time for strategies to be built to work on it... where as it's just a straight getting used to feeling for the sleeves, which I can understand can be burdensome.

    Tank top jersey's looks stupid when you aren't on a court, sleeves will be a big improvement.
