Win A Nike “Puppet Revolution” T-Shirt!
Lovable and made of foam, the MVPuppets have taken over. Paying homage to the classic Nike poster (after the jump) of a lifelike statue in the middle of Central Park featuring LeBron James, Drew Gooden, Tyson Chandler, Dajuan Wagner, Caron Butler, Tayshaun Prince, Richard Jefferson and Amar’e Stoudemire, the whole MVPuppet crew is featured on this tee. So while we figure out who won the Kobe Bryant “California’s Finest” t-shirts that hit the office last week, here’s a chance to win one more.
So how can you win one? We’re going to make it easy, like we’ve done in the past, by asking you to tell us in the comments section below why you deserve a t-shirt and where you plan on wearing it. Your answers can be serious or funny; they can be an anecdote or just a simple statement. Know going in though, that if what you post is NSFW, while it might crack us up, it most likely won’t win (but you can always post multiple entries).
Have at it, because we only have a few. Make ‘em count…
If you don’t win, Nike “Puppet Revolution” t-shirt is available now at Nike.com, NikeTown and House of Hoops locations for a suggested retail price of $35.

I work with a bunch of white people that will have no idea what the t-shirt means when I wear it on Casual Friday.

Because I’m probably the only 1 in the universe that still rocks Dajuan Wagner’s Cavs jersey proudly and I need this to complement it lol

Sweet English says:
Because no one who posts in this section has any chance of winning if they have ever commented on anything in Smack before. And because although I love most things that Dime do on a daily basis, I think these passing attempts at getting more readers and commenters to come to these pages and stay here by giving free shit to people who none of us have ever seen here before are both unsuccesful and shameless. I didn’t EVER see any of those posters who won the puppets shirts and the Carpe Diem shirts EVER post ANYTHING in ANY god damn post after they had got what they came for. Not even a thank you.
I risk my job and my lunchbreak every goddamn day to check out smack.
I sift through all the ‘Firsts!’ and the ‘Must have been a slow news day’ comments in the middle of august.
I have to read control’s essays about why Rondo sucks so bad, and have to listen to Heckler hate on every living (and some dead) thing to have ever existed, and somehow make a viable argument as to why we all should hate it with him.
I put up with Tyrones bullshit, day in day out for 3 months before we all laughed at him so much that he never came back. Cat did drop dopey dimes tho.
I’ll even put up with Pats feeble attempts at explaining how and why the sixers will ever be a relevant team ever again….
But will I see any tshirts show up at my front door? Will i FUCK. and you know why? because Dime has me.
Theyve got you too, Kermit and DB and Poppi (and Poppi’s other half even) and control and quest? and Heckler and Ranger. theyve got you SWAT, and you Chicagorilla, and definately you Sh!tfaced. ticktock6 and that’swhatsup and Ian, David Brandon, LakeShow, Celtsfan. ALL OF YOU. You already need your Smack. You can’t help it. So why would they give you anything free? when they know you’re comin back anyway.
So what i’m saying is. I don’t want your GODDAMNED t-shirt. All i want is a little recognition, and i’ll take it in a size medium please Aron.

Sam says:
I plan on wearing it when my Atlanta Hawks take on Cleveland in an almost-surefire Round 2 match-up. My buddy and I are planning on making a sign system in the form/shape of a partially eaten cookie and an obese cookie-filled Shaq:
“Hey Lebron, looks like Shaq has already eaten your championship cookies.” (one of us will have a sign of a partially eaten cookie and one of us will have a sign of an obese-looking Shaq — with some cookie crumbs photo-shopped around his mouth).

I had some posts towards the end of the last t-shirt thread– I’m the person still working on my term paper in the library. I’ve been in here flat out twelve hours and my mood is worsening as the minutes pass by… also they ran out of bagels at the library cafe, so I’m stuck eating old cheez-its I found at the bottom of my backpack. Come on Dime… I could use some cheering up…or some more 5-hour energy shots…

I have that poster hanging up in my room- I remember buying it from Eastbay years ago- its always been my favorite poster so it would be great to get the shirt too. I love to wear t-shirts that are rare/or that no one else has- I like to stand out- I live in Winston-Salem, NC where Josh Howard is from and no one can find nothing like that around here- I would rock it everywhere- the mall, the gym, shoot id even wear it to church- either L/XL size- thanks Dime

bobby stew says:
I have always had mad love for Juanny Wags (Dejuan Wagner). I even kept up with him when he left the league and attempted a few comebacks. Atleast if I had this shirt he would be relvant again to me and I could represent him once again. I also used to have this poster on my wall. I would rock this shirt to the park and give guys history lessons on Wagner as well as tell them I got this hot t-shirt from none other than Dime Magazine

i deserve this shirt because i had to suffer through this season as a wizards fan. plus, i’ve never won anything on dime before. it’s like when they finally gave kobe his mvp trophy. hook me up dime

Because I won’t be paying for it anyway since I’m 17 and jobless. My grandmother pays for everything from tuition to condoms (even if she doesn’t actually know). And she also donates to the gold diggers who seem to swing like Tarzan on my p*bes.

luckylester says:
I deserve the shirt because i’m a high school basketball coach in the northwest and i’m always asking my players if they want to be the real players or the puppets in the commercials. that they have to act like players on the court instead of off, because puppets can do commercials just fine, but they can’t win a game. the shirt would be put to use.
March 29th, 2010 at 3:35 pm
ShowKase says:
Nike should make a Dajuan Wagner milk carton shirt. That would be awesome.
Oh, and the reason I should win this shirt is because I have a hole in the roof of my car and when it rains, water leaks in. So if I win this shirt I can use it to plug the hole in my roof, assuming the shirt is made from 100% mvpuppet fur, which I’ve heard is very absorbent.

^ Genius
Because I need something to wear when you guys let me intern for you over the summer.
And because once I finalize my burger king next best move, (The “Diopstep”) I’ll deserve it.

I deserve this t-shirt because I’m willing to take a charge on Lebron running full speed towards me and be a test-dummy for Kobe’s fadeaway shot until I can no longer see because he keeps jaying me up.

Every game I play, every battle I fight, there’s never the full certainty of victory. But victory is possible. Give the full effort. Make the sacrifices. Nike told me to ‘Just Do It’, and I’m going to do just that.

the saga continues… I hadn’t set foot outside the damn library for 16 hours and then I go outside and it’s pouring so I get soaked as hell…and I had to go to a meeting but was super late and had no working phone to tell them I was going to be late so I got chewed out, while soaking from head to toe…life sux right about now…at this point i’m just venting to the internets

STFU and finish your fucking homework. Nobody gives a fuck about the time you wasted in the fucking library. It ain’t our fault you’re a lazy fucking bum. Your posts are annoying as fuck.

I want this Tee shirt so much because I read Dimemag everyday all the way from Malaysia! I would like to wear it every chance that I have to tell everyone here that it is so cool of Dime and myself. Great Tee to have.

Alex Chaplin says:
I deserve this tee because I took the time to check who wrote this article (Aron Phillips) and I feel that he will show a little bit of favortism toward me for giving credit to the writer because no one ever looks because they are just so ignorant.

Because, as a lifelong Cleveland sports fan from Denver, I have had to sit through losing my entire life while being made fun of constantly. Winning this shirt may regain my confidence.

I FORGOT TO ADD THAT THE GIRL THAT GIRL I LIKE ALSO HAS WIRE STRINGS COMING OUT OF HER HANDS, SO YEA THAT PRETTY MUCH SEALS THE DEAL, SHE IS DEFINITELY A MUPPET. I ALSO FORGOT TO ADD THAT HER FATHER, WHO IS A MUPPET ALSO DIED, AND THAT I COACH A LITTLE LEAGUE TEAM FULL OF MUPPETS, SO THIS SHIRT WOULD GIVE ME AUTOMATIC “MUPPET CRED” AMONG THEM. WITH MY SHIRT I WOULD BE ONE STEP CLOSER TO MY PLANS. (SEE ABOVE)

First of all Lil Dez is on there and I would adopt that child if he were real! I think lil dez is me in puppet form. I’d react the way he does if Kobe babysat me! haaaaa. Secondly, I would wear that shirt day and night. I love dem puppets!!! It would also be a great pick me up considering how the Lakers have been playing lately (it’s depressing but I keep on defending them and I just let the haters hate- there WILL be another parade in LA this June!) And umm..I really like this shirt. thanks!!
