This is hands down the #1 move of the offseason...

...in all of basketball...

...in all of sports...

This puts Vogel in the same company as Gene Hackman (And Dan Burke in the same company as Dennis Hopper).

I hope that they make a Chitwood jersey available.

Actually amazing.

I've seen and read some comments of people who aren't from Indiana who find it kind of dopey. Poor souls. They just don't get how great this is!

the argument seems to be they should have chosen Milan jerseys. the easy solution to that is to bring Bobby Plump and whoever else is left from that team to center court. for those of you who have only seen the movie, the actual game was dramatic. no shot clock then and Plump held the ball for a long time in the fourth quarter. search "Milan Basketball" on YouTube for highlights and what seems to be the full game.

I was hoping that they would make the jerseys customize-able.

I think this move would trigger more "partnerships" between various promotions and NBA teams. A kind of breakthrough, I guess in terms of promotions for both the NBA and its "would-be" partners.

The Knicks could probably do Sunset Park and the Pistons could wear the Flint Tropics jerseys from Semi Pro. lol.
