What the f*** is this about?

I just saw a commercial on NBA TV for GWRAPS, which are … well, here’s the description on the website:

GWRAPS have been a very popular and useful style of towel custom made for Pro athletes exclusively. These players do not want to use the same towel as their teammates, they want the gear to be personalized, display team colors, have great size and comfort, and most of all they want locker room towels that they can lounge in, get treatment in, ice knees in, conduct an interview in and have superb quality that matches their lifestyle!

Sixers bring back old logo

In March, when the Sixers closed out the old Philadelphia Spectrum in a retro-style game against the Bulls, I know I wasn’t the only one who wished the old-school change was permanent. Following almost every NBA game almost every night on League Pass, there are certain teams that I just have a hard time watching simply for aesthetic reasons — uniforms, court, crowd atmosphere, etc. — and the Sixers are usually high on that list.

Today, Philly did the right thing and went back to the old look. The team announced they’re switching to the old logo for next season, and later this summer will unveil a new (presumably old) court design and alternate uniforms.

We Reminisce: Maurice Taylor’s NBA Draft suit

The What Not to Wear: NBA Draft Edition Hall of Fame is a tough group to crack. Which makes sense, when you’ve got the bar being set by Jalen Rose’s red pinstriped suit, Chuck Person’s white-and-pink tuxedo, Samaki Walker’s fedora, and Karl Malone’s entire outfit in ‘85 that was so country it should have come with a syrup sandwich in the front pocket.

There’s More To The Draft Day Kobe IV’s Than You Think

With Kobe celebrating ring number four last week in Los Angeles, Nike decided to pay homage to the day that made Kobe a Laker by releasing the Draft Day Zoom Kobe IV’s. Except they made one fairly serious error - they put the wrong date on the heel. June 26th, 1996 was the day that the Charlotte Hornets selected a 17-year old Kobe Bryant with the 13th pick. However Nike released the shoes with the date “6-11-96” on the heel. Read More »
