This came out last week and I just never got around to it, probably because of my temporary death thanks to Carolina. Again, I actually say a lot pro-Laker, or for the best interest of the Lakers and their fans (see anything I wrote about Byron Scott), but I'm not a Laker guy. I have no problem with them, I don't go out of my way to hate them, I'm just indifferent to them. I mean the Warriors don't really have a rivalry with them do they? I've only been a fan since they drafted Steph in '09 and until 2012-13 the Dubs sucked, and since then the Lakers have sucked, so it's not even competitive. I guess if I grew up in the Bay and the Warriors were always little brother to the Lakers (and Suns, and even the Kings way back when) in the Pacific. And as a Knicks lifer, they've always sucked and now they both suck and they only play twice a year. I focus more of my hate on LeBron, the Celtics, and the Clippers nowadays. Anyway back to the actual story. I love this, in a time where the Lakers are in a constant tailspin, they do something right. Not really for their franchise or future, but for the good of everyone. Ads on jerseys SUCK. They are the absolute worst. I enjoy soccer, but seeing big ass ads on their chest is just wrong. I hate it, I think it's stupid. The NBA is only growing in popularity (now that people don't care that "all" the players are black and "it's not real basketball") (it is real basketball) so don't tell me they need the money. That's what the giant screens on the scorer's table are for, and the ads on the court, and literally everywhere in the arena. Not only are the ads unnecessary but they are ugly as all hell. People were making a big deal that Nike is going to be allowed to put their logo on the jersey's when they take over in 2017. That's fine, I'm honestly shocked adidas doesn't have that. But that's fine, why do you need more? Adam Silver has done everything right in his time as commissioner so far, but this would be a huge mistake. I love basketball jerseys, but I won't spend a cent on a jersey that has the KIA logo over where it should say "New York" or any other city or team name. They're jerseys not NASCARs.
Just look:
