Hey, anybody hear anything about our new uniforms yet?

So IOW, Nike was like, "Wha? Atlanta still got a team?! Oh well, guess we'll jus' slap a swoosh on the shoulder. Done, and done."

ETA: Also, the Knix rookie looks like he's got dad-bod.

I don't understand the hoopla about the new unis. They are the same uniforms with just a nike on them.

All those French pastries...

Can't believe that NYK passed on Dennis Smith, Jr for an unproven Frenchman with a gut at age 18.

Neckline was changed similar to what Adidas did to the blue and reds ~4 years ago.

Some teams got new jerseys, others have small tweaks, not as obvious to some, like the Grizz don't have the gold triangle under the collar. We don't even have a sponsor yet.

I'm a major Josh Smith hater, at this point...but that's actually a solid choice.

That's a great one but how does that work. Doesn't that picture just take itself? It's not like Scott was hanging off the backboard waiting for the perfect shot. Remote camera, here comes smoove, take 100 pictures in 2 seconds and pick one? Maybe i'm missing the point.

Even though I don't like Al anymore, I'd go with this one personally. The look of helplessness on John Wall's face is just delicious.

My favorite part of that pic is Nene on the ground. Dude's huge and gets knocked over on the biggest potential rebound of the series. Still can't understand how he's stuck around so long.

So how does Mookie not get in there at least ahead of Spud and Teague if not Doc? I'd also include Roundfield and John Drew over Augman and Korver.

I realize John Drew had a tumultuous career but 8 seasons in Atlanta averaged 21/8. Shooting 47% from the field.
Mookie 15 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, 2.5 steals in 7 seasons. 35% from 3 which back then wasn't too shabby. But the defensive ability alone was elite. And he did it high it sounds like.

It's a shame neither of these guys got the help they sorely needed before it was too late.

The league or game developers had to be selectively wary of legal issues: Lamar Odom didn't make any of the Laker, Heat or Clipper teams. O.J. Mayo didn't make the Grizzlies teams but Byron Scott who played all of one season at age 34 did. And most notable: Gilbert Frickin Arenas didn't make the Wizards team but Otto Porter did.

Makes sense but real life hero Dan Roundfield continues to get overlooked. I wish the Hawks would honor him in some way. Maybe have a Dan Roundfield award for the most selfless player on the team every year.

Isn't that the JAson Collier award?
