I feel your pain bruh. I would have beat the shit outta all 4 of them if I was the coach like I'm Tito Santana. This shit is fuckin ridiculous
NBA Season is Returning This Year!!!!!!!
- Thread starter DAHITMAN
- Start date
Jordan Brand doesn’t really have a good track record with any player not named Michael Jordan.
They had Wade and Kawhi, Kawhi didn’t get a shoe and the only thing remember about Wade’s shoes is “Glory Holes”.
Russ shoes are solid, but quickly forgotten and I’m waiting to see Zion’s.
It’s not an old man ran, take the ball to the fucking basket when you’re down by two points!
I think it's more about brand awareness and the pregame dress more than what's on the court these days. Most of these dudes wear PE's the public can't buy anyway.
I hear ya, but still
I guess I’m thinking of it from a different perspective. Wearing Jordan’s on builds Jordan’s brand and its usually not the player.
But congrats to him!
or how about Danny Ainge's who has constantly lost free agents and gotten nothing in return
and who would be the ball handler, the only playmaker type was an always injured small forward

Should have been Tobias Harris
Either Simmons or Harris. Couldn't have both
You cant have less points than LeBron and be the logo. And his impact outside of basketball is minimal. Kobe himself would want Michael Jordan to have the honor before him anyway. He wasnt as good or impactful as him, even in death.
I dont think the logo should be a specific person.
Officially.
Lets say they went with Kobe, does his estate get a cut, or a say in how the logo is used, who the NBA partners with...?

That's a great question
N.B.A. Investigating After Jeremy Lin Said He Was Called ‘Coronavirus’
Lin, who is Taiwanese-American, said on social media that he had been called “coronavirus” on the court. He has been playing in the N.B.A.’s developmental league.
“Being a 9 year NBA veteran doesn’t protect me from being called ‘coronavirus’ on the court,” Lin wrote in a post on social media.

The N.B.A. G League said on Friday that it was investigating a report by Jeremy Lin, one of the best-known Asian-American players in basketball, that he had been called “coronavirus” on the court.
Lin disclosed the slur in a Facebook post on Thursday in which he denounced the racism and discrimination faced by Asian-Americans. It was a prominent example of the rising tide of bigotry that many Asian-Americans say they have endured since last year, when former President Donald J. Trump began describing the coronavirus as the “China virus.”
“Being an Asian American doesn’t mean we don’t experience poverty and racism,” wrote Lin, who plays for the Golden State Warriors’ affiliate in the G League, the N.B.A.’s developmental league. “Being a 9 year NBA veteran doesn’t protect me from being called ‘coronavirus’ on the court. Being a man of faith doesn’t mean I don’t fight for justice, for myself and for others.”
A league spokesman confirmed that an investigation had been opened, but declined to comment further. The investigation was first reported by The Athletic.
The investigation came amid a rise in attacks against Asian-Americans, according to government tallies. The number of hate crimes with Asian-American victims reported to the New York Police Department surged to 28 in 2020, from just three in 2019. Activists and police officials said many other incidents had not been classified as hate crimes or had not been formally reported.
In August, a United Nations report found that racially motivated violence and other incidents against Asian-Americans had reached “an alarming level” across the United States since the outbreak of the virus. The report said that more than 1,800 racist incidents against Asian-Americans in the United States had been reported over an eight-week period from March 2020 to May 2020.
The incidents involved people who said they had been spat on, blocked from public transportation, discriminated against in workplaces, shunned, beaten, stabbed and insulted by being called transmitters of the coronavirus, the report said.
Lin, who is Taiwanese-American, has spoken openly about the discrimination and questioning he has faced in professional basketball. He has also proudly embraced his status as a role model and an inspiration for many Asian-Americans.
A former Harvard basketball player, Lin became a breakout sensation in the 2011-12 N.B.A. season when, as a relative unknown on the bench, he took over as a guard for the Knicks and tore through the league, prompting a wave of excitement that became known as “Linsanity.” He scored more points in his first five starts than any other player in nearly 40 years, peaking with 38 against the Los Angeles Lakers.
In his Facebook post on Thursday, Lin, 32, pointed to a generational shift among Asian-Americans.
“We are tired of being told that we don’t experience racism, we are tired of being told to keep our heads down and not make trouble,” he wrote. “We are tired of Asian American kids growing up and being asked where they’re REALLY from, of having our eyes mocked, of being objectified as exotic or being told we’re inherently unattractive.”
“I want better for my elders who worked so hard and sacrificed so much to make a life for themselves here,” he added. “I want better for my niece and nephew and future kids.”

Lin not 'naming or shaming anyone' after claim he was called 'coronavirus'
The NBA G League is opening an investigation into Santa Cruz Warriors guard Jeremy Lin’s statements that he’s been called “coronavirus” on the court.

That's actually a good point. Just do a silhouette of a generic player like MLB does it.

yeah I think this is probably the correct answer
does ANY other sports organization have a SPECIFIC PERSON as their logo?
Cause Gretzky should be NHL and Ali for boxing and Babe Ruth or Jackie Robinson or Hank Aaron for MLB so on and son....
Doubt we will EVER see that stuff happen.
So one of the Heat insiders reported that the nba wanted Jimmy instead but he would only go if Bam could go too.
The nba logo is so iconic that these other joints is looking like the logo on shaq sneakers compared to the Jordan logo.
It’s so simple and ingrained in us that every other logo looks wack.
I like this Kobe one though.
