this is now a thing

or it will be as of sometime this week

apparently the sock-esque protuberance is a "calf-length compression sleeve" that i guess is built into these shoes

yeah durant wore them for warmups but hasn't warn them in a game yet iirc

Wouldn't that cause more knee injuries / wear+tear?

not sure why it would? just socks more or less.

I remember reading somewhere that the more you immobilize the ankles, the more stress goes into the knees. So if they're just compression socks, maybe not?

this is going to end with players in full body compression iron man/ greenscreen suits up to their necks and in 2023 some young hotshot will start covering his head and then THAT'S gonna be a thing

durant looks like a double amputee there

logo patch approved. supposedly gonna bring an extra 100 milli + in per year.

BREAKING: Adam Silver said it's likely Hornets will have Brand Jordan logo on jerseys in 2017-18, not the Nike logo like rest of league.

love my brands

wow p nice imo

Font is ugly but otherwise looks pretty good IMO.

im kinda feeling the font tho wldve been better if they went all the way blocky for that 8-bit look

The crown is hella bizarre to me

its supposed to depict depth but just ends up looking weird and abstract

file under inspired by stussy

http://i.imgur.com/aQqF3l9.png

unbelievable, they wearing them at home too!

that crown reminds me of

http://i.imgur.com/qmzMUij.jpg

appropriate to the kings basketball organisation

with the full name, i like it but with just "SAC" it looks a bit like a distended testicle and once seen that cannot be unseen

buzz city

pls stop

Really like the color scheme of the buzz city unis. Actually like everything about those minus the sleeves and the fact that they say buzz city.

guy who doesn't live in Charlotte: hey I'm thinking of visiting Charlotte, what's the most notable thing about your town
Charlotte guy: we have so many bees that we call it buzz city. We love our fantastic bees.

Bees are v important haven't u heard they are all dying

its official

http://www.nba.com/kings/NewLogo

nice, i like it a lot more with the white outline

interested to see what they come up w for unis

yeah it makes way more sense with the white outline. i thought the crown looked random as fuck otherwise.

http://i.imgur.com/cYsXmUL.png

Very nice! I mean the logo, not the tattoos.

lol http://newsok.com/article/5495252

russ is so weird

the weirdest

cn we talk abt those uniforms for a sec theyre like the least basketball uniform uniforms ever they look like a white tee, i think they shd go all the way w it tho all white except team/name/number

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CheG_TyUoAAXmEU.jpg

lmao love it, they should all wear damn daniels with it as well

those white ones are prob the best okc unis but the stripes on the pants are nonsensical. it's like someone designed good uniforms and was like "wait these are for okc they have to be hideous in some way"

those road blues are horrible too

their city connects should have a little jeff van gundy hanging on the leg of the shorts

Miami should just be laid/back chill. It's nice, enjoy the weather.

they did that and everyone loved it and the league was like “it’s really cool that you came up with new jerseys that are so sensible and popular but unfortunately we have to ban you from ever wearing them again”!!!!

lol @cad

good article exploring this a little - https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25516123/inside-new-miami-heat-vice-jerseys

the vice jerseys are great but i think these are my fave of the heats

https://i.imgur.com/4EkdN9R.png

https://i.imgur.com/xLikXGf.png

those are awesome and why i don’t want them to fully transition to the vice colors. the heat will always be red/black/orange to me. but the vice motif was woven in pretty seamlessly & was blanketing the city apparel wise during that time. it just speaks to people’s idea of miami & looked cool. it saddens me. maybe one day they’ll wind this project down and let teams reuse the good ones

oh I love this court design

new hardwood tonight. 😮‍💨 pic.twitter.com/qGF6oTOT9E

clean

things can still be normal its possible

the center court graphic is even kind of small

assume its to go with their good throwbacks

harder to shoot from the logo when the logo is small

yeah porzingis made a shot "from the logo" in brooklyn the other night but it extended almost to the three point line

what could make the pacers city branding even worse?
how bout a grey court

jesus

the center court logo is kinda cool actually but grey courts look so bad on TV

black uniform on dark gray court prob not that good too

i didnt read anything about these unis and im trying really hard to see what these have to do with indiana

good job good effort

The 3-point shot of Dallas forward Grant Williams felt slightly off all morning in practice on the new, brightly painted Denver Nuggets court.

Turns out, it wasn’t his shot at all. It was a wrongly measured 3-point line.

The line’s curvature was painted too far back on the blue-and-yellow floor that Denver will use for the NBA’s In-season Tournament that made its debut Friday night.

Statement from NBA spokesperson: “The Mavericks will play tonight’s game on their core court due to a manufacturing issue with the team’s In-Season Tournament court.”

— Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon) November 10, 2023

it obviously makes complete sense, but there's something funny about an NBA player's three pointer being so perfectly calibrated that after missing short on a few shots the assumption was immediately "there is something wrong with this court" and not "there is something wrong with my shot"

how did the dubs get away with wood colored court

The NBA In-Season Tournament hits #WarriorsGround tomorrow.

wtf they got that and the celtics got denied for a parquet pattern on the center stripe?

makes no sense. woulda been a lot better looking if all the teams did this

Revealed: Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, has decided to block an application from Madison Square Garden to build a London version of the Las Vegas Sphere at the Olympic Park in Stratford on the grounds of excessive light pollution. A formal statement is expected later today.

— Mark Kleinman (@MarkKleinmanSky) November 20, 2023

the sphere is perfect for vegas, and nowhere else, def not london lol

would be funny if dolan went broke building tons of spheres all around the world tho, going sphere crazy

ball was life, until it wasnt

idk hes wearing sunglasses on court thats pretty cool

oh wait, that isn't the whole video. crud.

here it is:

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0K5jEmJMa7/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

somebody in the comments said he look like "frozone in red"

Wait is that from a real game why was he in fact wearing tinted goggles also known as sunglasses

scoot got contact lenses recently and while he was playing he kept rubbing his eyes etc so the glasses are there to prevent him from messing around with the lenses while on court iirc

ha what cmon

i'm just reporting what i heard on a game broadcast the other day sounds dumb to me tho i agree

lmao

https://i.imgur.com/grhTnrT.png
