Best NBA Jerseys by Team

Sports Illustrated has a great interactive “Best NBA Uniforms by Team” feature on their website right now. It’s basically a polling system to allow us as the fans to help identify the best jersey of all time – for each team respectively.
It’s great to run through NBA team and remember the classic jerseys – good & bad included. Their feature currently doesn’t have any type of “all-time” best jersey overall & I’m not sure that they are every going to, but voting on a per-franchise basis is still a bit …

What the Athletes Are Doing? Top Athletes and Their Workouts

Athletes must have a certain discipline to remain in optimal condition to get the most out of their bodies. Some workouts athletes incorporate into their lives can be beneficial and inspire some good habits that will produce results. However, before following any workout of a top athlete there are a few things to keep in mind.
Keep It Realistic
Workouts followed by pro athletes and bodybuilders may seem glamorous and easy to emulate in glossy magazines or infomercials, but remember that such magazine articles or TV ads are meant to sell workout equipment …

Worst 2010-11 NBA All-Star Reserve Selection

I’m once again blown away by the NBA coaches and their supposed 2010-11 All-Star reserve players (7 reserves per conference). Let me clarify… I’m blown away, but really not too surprised – this is commonplace in many sports.
There are at least half a dozen deserving players in the Western Conference that did not get selected by the NBA coaches during their voting (Starters were selected by fans). These terrific players were snubbed and I have little to no explanation why the players that took their spot(s) were selected.
Btw… if you’re …

John Wall Wizards Jersey from NBA’s Opening Night Sells for $7k+

Some loon decided they wanted to buy a John Wall jersey for over $7k from NBA Auctions recently. The auction featured all starting-five rosters from the NBA’s opening night. LeBron James Miami Heat jersey was the highest at auction at approx. $16k, but Wall’s is still somewhat of a surprise considering that he is a rookie and has played limited minutes for the Washington Wizards to-date.
“This is probably why someone chose to pay $7,520 for the privilege of owning a blue Washington Wizards road jersey worn by John Wallnotes, the …

2010-11 New York Knicks Preview

Much is expected of the New York Knicks after (settling) on Amare Stoudemire in this year’s free agent swoon. They didn’t get Dwyane Wade, LeBron James or Chris Bosh as they’d hoped, but if the pre-season and the 1st game are any indication, Amare appears to be a solid replacement for the aforementioned targets of NY.  Much of the 2009-10 Knicks roster has been shipped out or left via free agency, so they are one of several teams welcoming quite a few new faces for the 2010-11 NBA season.

2010-11 Boston Celtics Preview

The Boston Celtics look to pick-up the 2010-11 season right where they left off in the 2009-10 season… in contention for and/or reaching the NBA Finals. There are many foes that stand in there way (Heat, Magic, age, injuries), but they have put together a strong core of experienced NBA veterans and subs off the bench to contend for the Eastern Conference’s best record.

It would be difficult to mention anyone before team captain & the longest tenured Celtic, Paul Pierce. While he may not hold the …

2010-11 NBA Season to Start – Hurry Up & Get Here Already

As a die-hard NBA and basketball fan, I am eagerly awaiting the opening of the 2010-11 NBA season. With so much off-season activity and player movement, I can’t wait to get a glimpse of each team in action. I am really hoping to have enough time this year to put together individual team previews, but I’m not sure it’s going to be a reality.

#6 Jerseys In-Demand; LeBron James, Gilbert Arenas Notables to Change their Numbers

Update 7/2/10: Gilbert Arenas is changing uniform numbers “again”. As reported today, Arenas is apparently switching to #9 instead of the #6 previously (changed to). Just more insanity from Gilbert… we should expect this stuff by now.
In what amounts to one of the biggest uniform/jersey related stories of 2010, the #6 jersey will soon become one of the most desirable for fans to scoop up.  Both LeBron James and Gilbert Arenas will be changing their jersey numbers next season in the NBA.

So your team just came off of one of the worst seasons in franchise history.  Ticket sales are projected at an all time low for the upcoming season.  The team’s superstars are grumbling and upper management is enforcing strict parking space rules at the practice field.  What can the franchise do? How do they erase the sting of a horrible season in the player’s and fan’s eyes alike?  Simple…You change your logo.
In case you haven’t figured it out yet, the Detroit Lions unveiled their super amazing stimulus plan for their …

We’ve all played sports video games before.  From the original sports games like RBI Baseball, where you could bunt for a homerun, to Tecmo Bowl where you could literally kill a quarter with a single running play.  The question still remains…Will they ever be able to create a sports video game that gets everything right?  Let’s face it, no matter how advanced the computer’s AI gets, it’s still a computer with a finite amount of movements and reactions to your input on the controller.  Don’t get me wrong, video games …

This season, the NBA‘s Eastern Conference has dominated national headlines in newspapers and on the Internet.  This is quite the opposite of how the former “L”Eastern Conference was looked upon even just a couple years ago.  The NBA’s elite are no longer strictly in the Western Conference, as 3 of the top 4 teams in the NBA are from the East.  Only the Los Angeles Lakers are performing up to par w/ the Orlando Magic, Cleveland Cavaliers and defending champion Boston Celtics.
With the playoffs looming only weeks away, the East …

A new list of top NBA jerseys has come out recently detailing the Top 10 NBA Team apparel & merchandise sales for December 2008.  The NBA Store is reporting the figures, as well as indicating a 10% increase in overall sales from the previous season.  Considering the sputtering economy and sluggish Christmas season, this is quite amazing for any league to report an increase in sales.
So without further ado, here are the Top 10 NBA Teams, ranked according to merchandise sales at the NBA Store:

Los Angeles Lakers
Boston Celtics

It was reported early on New Year’s Eve that TNT analyst and NBA legend Charles Barkley was pulled over in Scottsdale and arrested on suspicion of DUI.  This is hardly Barkley’s first encounter w/ controversy and/or getting in the news for doing something dumb, but a DUI is no laughing matter and definitely more serious than gambling away millions of dollars.
Barkley apparently failed a field sobriety test and declined the breathalyzer before submitting to the alcohol/substance blood test, the results of which, could take several weeks to be confirmed.

The 2008-2009 NBA season is just around the corner, so Jock Jerseys is going to start featuring an analysis of what we feel are the Top 10-15 players at each position.
Today, we’re going to get started with the Top 10 fantasy Point Guards in the NBA.  This offseason included a number of big name players moving to new teams, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be in a better position fantasy-wise.
Before getting into our point guard rankings, lets go over how Yahoo Fantasy Sports is rating them this year:
