Looks like there is going to be a non-Spectrum option to watch games this season. Still annoyed that I can't just watch on YouTube TV.

Jordan's baseball sabbatical was really David Stern suspending him for gambling.

Jordan's interest in selling the Hornets is really Adam Silver suspending him for being caught falsifying Spectrum attendance figures.

The ad patches in general are super tacky

Lending Tree was one of the least garish though.

Why did they show off the version with text descriptions? We cant tell there are Spectrum center logos near center court on both sides? Baffling.

Anyway, I think the design is cool, wonder how such a dark court will look during the actual games.

My initial reactions are (1) I guess that's why they went with gold on that new jersey, and (2) where's the purple at? Not in love with blue, teal, and gold, with blue and gold as the primary colors.

I'm not either, but the modern NBA culture is such that teams basically have alternate color palettes like they wear alternate uniforms.

Yeah, I was pretty ok with the mint gold stuff, but I'm not down with this new one.
