We are forever #SagerStrong pic.twitter.com/t9C3x6znkb — NBA on TNT (@NBAonTNT) December 15, 2016 I remember when I was in college sitting at home with my friends. This was the first time in my life that I had cable TV. Up until that point, I didn’t know much about Craig Sager. I had just started my […]

Ernie Johnson’s response to the election and my thoughts
Ernie Johnson’s thoughts on the presidential election. https://t.co/mONk8ZCcBY — NBA on TNT (@NBAonTNT) November 11, 2016 I don’t talk about politics ever and this may be one of a few I may ever share on this blog. I am getting mixed reactions from this speech last night by Ernie Johnson. On the one hand, he […]
Sacramento Kings unveil new uniforms and I love the black alternate
GALLERY: #SacKings‘ new jerseys https://t.co/ETQho59qJC #NBA #KingsTalk pic.twitter.com/YqVd2TLC50 — Comcast SportsNet (@CSNAuthentic) June 15, 2016 We had seen the Kings logos rebrand and I thought it was OK. Now we get to see their uniforms and they still remain OK. I don’t understand the point of two purple uniforms that look very similar. I don’t […]
The Utah Jazz really screwed up with the sleeve jersey
ICYMI – Our refreshed brand identity for 2016-17: https://t.co/AuTOcJvUjw New uniforms, court & logo system! pic.twitter.com/obs5YXwTjw — Utah Jazz (@utahjazz) May 12, 2016 The home and road are fine. In fact, they look pretty nice with the 66-degree angle thing. The alternate isn’t too bad either although I am not digging the font. Oh but […]
NBA officially approves ads on jerseys for 2017
NBA has approved a pilot program allowing teams to sell corporate logos on its jerseys. MORE: https://t.co/Sy0jw4bW2a — NBA on ESPN (@ESPNNBA) April 15, 2016 This is a sad day. We all speculated why the NBA logo was moved from the left shoulder to the back of the jersey. We assumed it was for ads […]
Samuel Lam’s 2015 Best and Worst Dressed in Sports: NBA edition
Adidas put together a great Christmas set this year. As the 2015 calendar year comes to an end, I’ve put together my annual list of the best and worst dressed teams in sports. This is a list of strictly my opinion, so feel free to agree or disagree or just take it for what it […]
Wizards’ ‘Baltimore Pride’ uniforms are a complete mess
I am all for throwbacks. I am all for uniforms that take some throwback elements. But the Wizards’ “Baltimore Pride” uniforms are juts a complete mess. The first issue presented are the sleeves. Once again, sleeves don’t need to exist. Secondly, the use of the Wizards’ colors instead of the old Baltimore Bullets colors make […]

These new Toronto Raptors uniforms are exactly as plain as I expected
The Toronto Raptors officially unveiled their new uniform set today and it looks exactly like the leaks that we’ve seen for months. Quite frankly, these uniforms are kind of boring. Looking at it, the identity and the presentation is very tame. There isn’t much too different in terms of the design from their last set. […]
So many NBA uniform changes and I don’t like a lot of them

My initial thoughts on the new Sixers uniforms
Yes. pic.twitter.com/yzVk9BkiWu — Did the Sixers win? (@DidTheSixersWin) June 19, 2015 It’s here. The 76ers have unveiled their new uniforms and it isn’t much of a drastic change from their previous ones. They have taken some elements of uniforms past and created this new identity. You can check out the gallery here. I’ll first say […]
The top 10 blunders from the NBA-Adidas partnership
Since 2006, Adidas has been the official outfitter of the NBA. And on Monday, it was announced that the NBA would not renew their contract with them after the 2016-17 season. I have not been a fan of many things Adidas has done in terms of aesthetics, design and common decency. And during their time with the […]
The NBA-Adidas partnership will end after 2016-17 season
adidas Won’t Renew NBA Deal Following 2016-17 Season http://t.co/iHRBgX0uyj pic.twitter.com/e7fKj9VZSu — SLAM Magazine (@SLAMonline) March 16, 2015 I have complained about Adidas many times and with this news, I am relieved that one of my biggest gripes about them is over. I never liked their partnership with the NBA. They turned so many good-looking uniforms […]
The NBA’s #NochesEneBeA is still a poorly executed idea
Remember when I was unhappy with how the NBA’s attempt at promoting their Latin Nights with poorly-worded uniforms? I just got an email from them with the above graphic. I just can’t get over the idea that adding “El” or “Los” to a team name makes it Latin. At least, that’s the idea this whole […]
RIP Anthony Mason
At @YahooBDL: Former NBA standout Anthony Mason dies at 48. http://t.co/Cmv7bzrGlV pic.twitter.com/iaW9BopWYW — Dan Devine (@YourManDevine) February 28, 2015 I remember watching Anthony Mason and how he was just so dominant on the floor. I wanted no part of defending him. He was just so powerful. Yet because I was still very young, I didn’t […]

Digesting yesterday’s Christmas NBA uniforms
After almost 24 hours to digest it, I have decided that I dislike the Christmas day NBA uniforms even more. I didn’t like them when they first announced them a while back but I was hopeful that maybe they won’t look too bad in action. I was wrong. Nameplates under the number isn’t too crazy. It’s […]
The Stephon Marbury musical looks amazing and I want to see it
I grew watching Stephon Marbury on TV. I’ve seen him play live. When he went through some tough times and disappeared to China, I thought that that would be it for him and I’d never hear from him again. But in five years, he’s found happiness in China. He loves it there. The people love […]
NBA Ugly Player Sweaters are very ugly
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the ugly sweaters. We have seen all the stories about them. Yet somehow, the NBA ones are the worst. Since the Christmas uniforms are ugly every year, it just makes sense that these are equally ugly. The fact that these are player names, team logos, lots of distracting […]

Darren Rovell: Heartless monster who has no sympathy for Paul George’s injury
The Pacers are covered for Paul George’s injury. If he misses a full season, they would get back $6.3M of the $15.8M they pay him. — darren rovell (@darrenrovell) August 2, 2014 Darren Rovell tweeted that out about an hour after Paul George’s nasty leg injury. While important, the timing is bad. This goes to […]

NBA and Adidas have come up with another uniform design disaster
.@PhilHecken @sportslogosnet NBA teams will have a gold “mark” on the back collar if the franchise has a title: pic.twitter.com/oDwntb5mSK — Conrad Burry (@conradburry) July 15, 2014 That is going to look terrible. Especially with teams that don’t feature any colors resembling gold, this is a poor design decision. Teams like the Raptors and Grizzlies […]
