I'll say this, it's literally the Miami Heat of alternate jersey ideas. Take that for what you will.

 

[Rico444]

I think it's pretty cool to do for a couple of games.

He Hate Ray?

Another reason to only watch college basketball. The Knicks jerseys should be various curse words.

 

[Kembacity]

He Hate Ray?

"Pierce/KG Hate Me"?

 

[ConnHuskBask]

I mean, clearly integrity of the league has been compromised. An outage. An utter outrage.

there should be no names on jerseys! there shouldn't even be numbers! or team names or colors!

They should just do shirts vs. skins.

That would certainly get more viewers to watch the WNBA.

I'm...not so sure about that.

Did you read the string of Tweet replies? One moron said it should say Black Jesus, because it's shorter. I guess he missed the whole point about the movie. And never heard of Earl Monroe.

 

[imno1]

I'm no Heat fan but I might have to buy one of jerseys.

or not.

Lets just say i'm a Knicks fan who wishes he were an Indiana Pacers fan. Beyond that the college game is better because there is more team play. I wish the NBA would go to a 30 second shot clock because it would improve the quality of offense. What is so special about 24 seconds? I think it's too quick and dumbs down the game. There would still be plenty of scoring at 30 seconds because FG% would go up.

and those aren't fair criticisms of the NBA game? Especially for a Knicks fan?

Excellent point, no one should ever have a little fun or be silly or play around.

They're playing basketball for a living. So, you know.

One would think by definition they have fun and play around on a nightly basis. Doesn't change my opinion that these particular jerseys are tacky. But like I said before, it's the Heat, so tacky is kind of par for the course...
